The blog is installed in /blogs/blogname. I want to be able to access the blog like blogname.domain.com and use that as the base url, rather than just a re-direct to the home page. Is there any resources online about how to do this?

According to owner/author/uploader JamesAtWar this is NOT taking the piss out of Nickelback, but out of all the “celebrities” appearing in the video.

The Ireland v Columbuia friendly in Fulham’s Craven Cottage is on RTÉ Two and also on Sky Sports. I had previously thought that the friendly matches would only be on Sky Sports. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the match is not taking place in Ireland??
Either way it is not important as I had to subscribe to Sky Sports last week to see the Heineken Cup Final. So I am stuck with Sky Sports for at least 1 month, as that is the minimum term allowed. I have no idea what they will be showing over the summer. I would have only ever watched football on Sky Sports previously. As far as I know most/all of the Euro 2008 games will be on BBC/ITV/RTÉ anyway, but it is nice to have the interactive features of Sky to hand.
So I think I will watch the actual match coverage on Sky, and then switch over to the main event, Dunphy, Giles et al.
