custom url
OK, I have been fussing with trying to turn www.biodiversityphotography.smugmug.com to www.biodiversityphotography.org. I have added a cname record to my DNS that now reads:
Additional Resource Records
Name Type Data
www.biodiversityphotography.org CNAME domains.smugmug.com.
I must be missing something, because I keep getting the error message in SM:
"That hostname doesn't appear to be valid. Your hostname needs to be setup using a CNAME record at your domain registrar."
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Paul

To set up the CNAME, the A record should point to 208.79.45.23 and the www record should point to domains.smugmug.com. After this is complete, add the domain with the www prefix to your control panel under the settings tab.
If you require assistance setting this up correctly, we can help. You'll have to provide us with the following information:
1. the name and url of your domain registrar
2. login name or customer number to your domain
3. change the password for your domain to smugtemp123
4. your domain name (www.yourdomain.com)
We can then login on your behalf and make the necessary changes to your setup.
Let us know if you have any additional questions and have a great day!

I have posted the tips here on our wiki: http://wiki.smugmug.net/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4882576
The last step is to wait until your domain resolves correctly. You will know that it is resolving when the domain points at the SmugMug homepage.
Once the domain resolves correctly, you can go to your SmugMug control panel and enter the custom domain on the settings tab. That is all there is too it. If you have problems, please let me know.
Now that I am done with your domain, please do not forget to reset your password.
