update: 2009-09-30 Strike’d out steps that are not needed

These steps have been tested using Apache on a VPS using Parallels Plesk environment but they can be applied to any similar setup. For the purposes of this post lets say you have the following domains: rootdomain.com, otherdomain1.com & otherdomain2.com that you want to manage from one Wordpress MU setup.

Organise the domains

Create the following subdomains off rootdomain.com

sites.rootdomain.com , od1.sites.rootdomain.com & od2.sites.rootdomain.com

( note these are 3 seperate sub domain names and that od1/od2 are not subdomains of sites.rootdomain.com )

As I was taking a shower last, I could not help but wonder, looking at the various plastic bottles in the shower area alone, how many plastic bottles we use each year for shampoo, conditioner, face wash, shower gel etc etc. A thought then struck me, imagine if one could buy bars of shampoo and conditioner.

A quick google of ‘Solid Shampoo bar’ returns quite a few results along with ’solid shampoo recipe’. I like the look of J.R.LIGGETT’S old-fashioned bar shampoo found here. I wonder the impact of the more high end brand manufacturers being ‘gently nudged’ to produce alternatives to their bottled ranges, would have on our planet… Imagine if hotels around the world replaced the small bottles of shampoo and conditioner with bars.
