3. An interface where a user can select on what domains one of his
websites should be available. The user should also be able to select
theme, handle and maybe some other settings per domain.
My only problem with this is that you are requiring users to explicitly
choose which domains their blogs should appear on. This may not always be
desirable and in some cases forbidden. For example, an ASP hosting blogs
for multiple clients where you certainly don't want any kind of
cross-domain publishing and users in different domains should be able to
create websites with the same handle. For this reason, I still think it
might be better to have "owner" domain assigned to each weblog and use an
association table to "publish" that weblog to a different domain under
potentially different handle.
I think this should not be a selection a user does. This should be done at a
higher lever.
When a blog site is set up, it is set up on a domain which is a
configuration the administrator. All users which register for this domain
does then only know about this domain. The ordinary user should not know
that this is part of a multi domain site.
But there are some blogs which might be awailabe on several domains. This
should also be a selection the Administrator does. This is in tread with our
requirements and it would also suite an ASP host very well I think.
