 * Hi there,
 * I’m getting ready to add a third site to my multisite network with a different
   domain than the first two sites, which are setup sub-domain style. I want to 
   add a third site with a totally different domain and am inquiring to you wonderful
   folks on the right sequence of steps.
 * 1. Do I install the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin first and then add the
   new site or vice versa?
 * 2. If I add the new site first, I am forced to name it with the subdomain in 
   it because of the way WP is setup.
 * 3. If that’s OK, will the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin fix this problem
   once I’ve installed and configured it properly?
 * I am running Windows 2008 Server so is there anything else I should look out 
   for while doing this?
 * Thanks!
