I'm currently tinkering with Wordpress multisite in order to be able to manage multiple sites from a common install. It's one of the features of Movable Type that I really miss ..
From reading the documentation and poking around various articles and the wp-admin settings etc., I've found that I need to install the domain mapping plugin: WordPress › WordPress MU Domain Mapping « WordPress Plugins
But what's confusing me is the addition of new domains to the system
It appears that I need to create a subdomain of my network's main hostname / domain first and then map the actual domain name to it.
Is that correct?
How does that impact SEO etc? ie. will the subdomain "vanish" once I've mapped the actual domain name, or is it likely to appear as a domain alias of some kind?
Any tips or pointers would be appreciated
