Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Anyone know where I go to find out if erin-----.com is taken as a domain name?

Any of the sites where you register a domain will have a widget that you can type names into before you actually sign up; it'll also tell you which of the .org, .net, .everythingelse variations are available. I like NameCheap because I have GoDaddy issues, but the process is pretty much the same.

(erin-----.com is available, btw, assuming that you're using the same ----- I'm thinking of. You're not starting a new name as well as a new business, are you?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Erin, go to a whois site--like whois.net and look your name up.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Erin, any domain registrar will do that search for you.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

OK, it looks like my name is available, and I can go.com, org or .biz.

Which one would be best? Opinions?

Also, I know there are several other "me"'s out there -- since the domain name isn't taken, there should be no infringement issues -- I don't see any of them with a professional business associated with their firstnamelastname?

(What would I DO without you all?!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

.com for sure -- it's the standard.

Always go .com and work from there. Maybe get others.

Yeah, I was just going to say, maybe buy some other ones to park them.

(OMG, Jesse, finish a thought before posting!)

AND I totally agree with the making your domain name the most basic possible. I tend to lean against cute, but I know a woman whose consulting firm is a terrible play on her name, and she does just fine....

Ugh ita, sorry to hear you're having such a Monday of a Monday.

Erin, I add my voice to the chorus of yourname.com, and a side of Wordslinger too.
