Setting Up a Skeptic Group-Part 2

Part 1

I found out that there is a Calgary group who just setup a Skeptics in the pub meeting. They have a nice website based on phpBB. I contacted them to see who is doing their hosting and suggestions on a first meeting.

Went fishing again. There is a regional humanist group. Sent an invitation to their contact person.

I figured out how to change the google site name to the DNS registed one.

  1. In the Google site, select site settings, Web Address. Add www.mydomain.com.
  2. On your domain registrar, change the CNAME for www. On GoDaddy this is under Total DNS Control and MX Records, edit the CNAME record for the www host. Change @ to ghs.google.com. Wait a long time.

I also did something similar but different for this blog www.theskepticnextdoor.com.

  1. On the registrar change the DNS to NS1.WORDPRESS.COM, NS2.WORDPRESS.COM, NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
  2. Wait a while
  3. On wordpress select Upgrades, Domains, Add Domain www.theskepticnextdoor.com
  4. pay $10.
  5. buy

    I see you have been a busy boy on this site.

    I have been in contact with the Calgary group and plan on attending their next pub outing. Maybe at some point we can get PZ Myers up here. That’s kind of a benchmark for a group. If Edmonton can do it in January, we can do it too. Which reminds me, you forgot pub nights. Beer is always a good enticement.
