    godaddy is wonderful. You'll want to register your new name, yes. Your smugmug nickname will always work, no worries. Follow all the instructions here: http://www.smugmug.com/help/professional-accounts

    Holler with any questions!

    on the site it says either register it standard or do it private so no one can see my personal info.. i was wondering if that was just a waste..the info is something most can get from a phone book...ne_nau.gif

    Chances are that question is about whether you want your personal details to appear on a "Whois" query. For example smugmug.com has the following information (public to anyone who looks)

    you are correct.. i did not know if there was any negative effect of being there in the directory...of having a fake front for spammers and junk..
