I would like to register the suggested Domain Name for two reasons; one to support Class Creator and secondly to make it easier to remember, etc. My site is live now; if classmates have bookmarked the current site will it redirect to the new site name?

Or do I need to e-mail the class and let them know the site has a new name/location?

Larry - If I remember correctly it did re-direct however, I didn't take any chances. I sent out an email letting everyone know the new address to the site.

Even if you purchase a domain name, your loger Class Creator system address will always still work. Thus any bookmarks or previous links out there to your site will always remain operational. It's a good idea to mass email your Classmates to announce your new domain name anyway of course.

Ok I bought my domain name! So how do you get it to the search engines such as google or yahoo?

How can I get my site listed on the major search engines, like Google, Yahoo, and MSN?

Answer: When search engines find any link to your site anywhere on the web they will automatically pull your site into their system. If there are no links on other web sites currently pointing to your site, or you wish to get your site listed more quickly, you can submit your site yourself to the web's top 3 search engines:

Add your site to Google: http://www.google.com/addurl
Add your site to Yahoo: https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit
Add your site to MSN: http://search.msn.com.sg/docs/submit.aspx
