Changing smugmug account name...

Is it possible to change the name of my account? For example, could I change from "truth.smugmug" to "whatever.smugmug" so long as the new name is available? I'm looking to revamp my photo site via an external domain and host now that it is becoming a business, something I really never intended.

    I think whatever has a nice ring to it. You should go for it.

    as a side note, it is possible to access your smugmug photos externally using the SM API.

    Over the xmas break, I played with some flash slideshows for integration with SM. Check one out here

    Something like this might be an option, it will allow you to feed up your SM images with the look and feel of your corporate website...and leave your SM site the way u want it.

    Just an idea.

    Cheers,

    Cool, I thought that was the case but forgot where it was.

    I though about that dev, but since I'll have a domain, domain based email addys and a domain based blog it's pretty minor to alter the smugmug name to match. it'll make things more linear for customers clicking through. The fear is that after leaving my domain they'd move to a smugmug site that doesn't match and freak out.

    Andy, is this what you're pointing at?

    function redirectPath() {
    re = /((www.)?introversion.smugmug.com)/;
    tmp = window.location.href;
    if (re.test(tmp)) {
    tmp = tmp.replace(re, 'www.introversion.com.au');
    window.location.href = tmp;
    }
    }
    redirectPath();
