    Great guide Andrew,
    But where do you input your account data from rackspace?

    Also, can you do something to limit who uses your cdn? Because if you happen to have a common theme somebody could set their wp to use your cdn as their own.

      Alex,

      You add the account data into the W3 plugin and it connects automatically.

      Not sure how others would be able to use your CDN…as well.

    I plan to install the W3 Total Cache plugin, but really don’t understand CDN…

      Dennis,

      CDN is like having a second host account. Then your blog grabs the files it needs to load from 2 different host accounts rather than one.

    Andrew, it sure looks good on paper, oops on video, but sure created havoc with my blogs. Pics and widgets ‘lost’ and the appearance in each browser suddenly different. Worst on Chrome where all formatting/graphics had gone. Had to disable the CDN thing in a hurry – and in a hurry everything reverted to normal. That said, you can’t win ’em all – keep ’em a-comin’ :-]

    PS. It’s possible I did something not exactly right along the way. If I did, I have no way of knowing ‘cept I sure spent lots of time trying to make it work – enough to call it a day :-]

      Hi Beat

      If you want me to have a look…I’m more than happy to.

      Let me know.

    Andrew, thanks for you generous offer. Would love to come back to it … next week. Guess you’ll need the keys to wp-admin and rackspace. Would suggest we communicate by email – beatcoach [at] gmail [dot] com. Or Skype? Let me know.
    Cheers,
    Beat

      I’ve made contact via Skype.

      Talk soon!
