Hi Scott, Can you do a news blog or codex blog or other post that draws together some of our hero slides and documentation and puts them together into a list of things one can do when building a new community / blog / group resource on the Commons? Here is a starting point: *1. Google Analytics* Get GA reports for your Commons blog mailed to you on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis (note: may not work with domain-mapped blogs) http://news.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2012/06/23/introducing-google-analytics-for-your-blog/ *2. Custom cuny.is shortlinks* Create a custom cuny.is shortlink for your blog or group http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/cuny-url-shortener/ *3.

Domain Mapping on the Commons* Map a custom domain to your Commons blog http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/domain-mapping-commons/ *6. *5. Use the Commons as a Conference Hub* With free websites, domain mapping, and tools to facilitate publicity, planning and registration, you can create a hub to post agendas, discuss issues, aggregate tweets, live-stream presentations, share archives, and keep the conversation going. http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2014/03/06/got-conference-coming-host-commons/ *7. *5.
