Google Apps

Just trying to get my head around dns settings and google apps.

In order to get www.mittenview.co.uk to be hosted at google apps and to use mittenview urls had to:

1) Add a CNAME value for www pointing at ghs.google.com. (trailing stop is important) in the DNS table at plusnet
2) Add a mapping from www.mittenview.co.uk to http://sites.google.com/a/mittenview.co.uk/Home
3) Make site publicly shared (Open site for editing then - Site settings > Share This Site > Check "Anyone in the world may view this site")

Phew!
