Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(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....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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.

.com it is.

Annoying questions the second (and guys, I'm doing a lot of research on my own, but I figure if I ask here first, someone will likely already know, and save me time so I can DO MORE STUFF.)

I'm planning on using DreamHost to register the domain name and handle my website stuff. I'm planning on using WordPress.org, because I'm used to the interface for WP.com.

So...if I register the domain name and use DreamHost as my host but WP.org as my...whatever...website creator? will I still have erin--------.com as my WP.org site name?

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

Dreamhost can install WP For you for free on any domain you host with them.

Hot DAMN. I thought so, but I wanted to be sure.

Thanks, Jessica.

I'm now leaning towards Word Wrangler.

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

Your site will be erin-----.com. WP.org is just a piece of software that you install on your site, and has nothing at all to do with the name of the site. Just like your written work isn't automatically titled "microsoft word" (that's one of the key differences between it and wp.com) (the other is that I make hella better money with wp.org)

Guys, this is exactly why I've been looking forward to break -- so I could sit down and get some serious work done on getting this thing set up.

(that's one of the key differences between it and wp.com) (the other is that I make hella better money with wp.org)

amych, this interests me. My personal blog is wp.com, but that's pseud and not going to be connected with my business, except I might take blog posts and expand them for possible essays.

Can you tell me more about how wp.org has made you more money?

(You can tell me to bite myself, or take it to email, whatever, and reply when you have time, if you want to reply at all.)

I don't want to be a bitca who hogs the thread.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My dad is doing better, so he's in a nursing home now to recover from surgery. They expect him to be there a week. The stomach scope was negative, so apparently the blood pukies was just a side-effect of the surgery. They finally gave him some anti-nausea meds, which helped stop the pukies.

My mom said over the weekend he was in good spirits and was teasing the nurses. So yay for that.
