This simple snippet provides a more sensible default for the Site object created during the first pass of syncdb (that is, with a default domain of localhost:8000). I made this so that the admin's "view on site" button will work automagically during my development cycle (which often involves dropping and recreating a sqlite database).

In addition, it provides 2 options for configuring the default Site as you'd like: settings parameters (DEFAULT_SITE_DOMAIN and DEFAULT_SITE_NAME) or kwargs (the latter takes precedence).
