??? about going PRO

Pixel Popper

I am going to be upgrading to the Pro User status on SmugMug soon, which is a good thing. However, there are a number of people out there who already have in their records my URL for the standard user account I currently have.

The question is this: When I go Pro and create my own domain name, will the former URL for the standard account automagically link to the new account with the domain name of my choosing? Or do I have to track down all the people I gave business cards to and tell them of the new web address?

Thanks.

Both will always work

As Andy said, yes they will both work. Even better is you can follow these instructions to have the smugmug URL automatically change to your
custom URL.

For instance, if you go to http://timnosenzo.smugmug.com, it automatically changes the URL to http://www.timnosenzo.com.

Be careful with this. You need to log in/out on a SmugMug domain, so that will need to be done on another SmugMug page/account

Gotcha: Pro account subscribers who use their own custom hostnames must login and logout using www.smugmug.com or yournickname.smugmug.com.

Weird! I can go straight to my homepage http://www.timnosenzo.com, click login at the top of the page, enter my UN & PW, and I'm in. I don't think I've ever had a problem doing it this way. I should probably bite my toungue though, next thing you know I'll break it.
