    Hello Prajwal, I am big fan of you, and your article is very good in quality and informative.
    but in this post I am seeing there is some correction.
    In method 1: Navigation point would be Administration\Overview\Site Configuration\Sites.

    If you consider this please modify the article.. Thanks
