0. Introduction.
SURPRISE!!!
POP QUIZ, DH-holes!
Q. How could this be the JUNE DreamHost newsletter, when it's only June
28th, according to my calendar?
A. Because Josh has finally pulled himself out of his DS Lite-induced
coma and gotten his life back together.
B. Because where is it written that a DreamHost newsletter HAS to
come out 1-30 days after the end of the month for which it was
intended?
C. Because it's actually July 9th, my calendar isn't on Daylight
Savings Time, and I'm an idiot.
D. Because Josh's in-laws are visiting for ten days and if this
thing doesn't go out NOW, it's going to make as much sense as last
month's.
(Answers below.)

1. Create a user WHILE adding a domain!
Q. What is the REAL reason we've just added the ability to add a new FTP
user to your account WHILE adding a domain from our "Manage Domains"
area: https://panel.dreamhost.com/?tree=domain.manage ?
A. It was always a pain in the butt remembering to add a new user
BEFORE going to add a new domain. (When you needed a new user.)
B. Even if you did REMEMBER, it was still a pain in the butt to go
over to "Users > Users" to actually DO it.
C. There weren't enough options and links in the Manage Domain
already!
D. The oldest email in Josh's inbox, from Dec 20th 2002, is a
customer suggesting this feature... now I can finally write him
back!

3. NEWER! http://chat.dreamhost.com/
