I need a new name...

[Darryn]

No i havent done anything wrong so i dont need to go into hiding, Ive just decided to get a new name...

Ive been using Dreeder for ages ago, rather unimaginatively Darryn Reeder, I then added UK when I started playing XBoxLive (beta), when I started playing OcUK clan matches I added the Oc

When I decided to venture out into websites I dropped the Oc and stuck with DreederUK.com

Which is nice and easy for me to remember, but, when im asked it, i always have to spell it out the them... Now DreederUK.com is down for a while and im missing having easy access to webspace, so ive decided to get a new webhost and new domain name to go with it... This is where im struggling, what should I call it???

My main hobbies and interests are;
Canon cameras, Motorsports, Minis (pre-bmw), Apple Macs, NitroRC.

Im open to suggestions of any kind, on my list so far are...

Darryn.co.uk (nice and short and my name)
DRsavage.co.uk (Initials+The type of RC i race)
Dprphotos.com
ReedersDigest.co.uk (may give me extra traffic )
shutterslap.co.uk
all-1-word.co.uk
wheeliebob.co.uk (based on a term from the funniest YouTube clip ive ever seen)

Ok, we believe you, thousands wouldn't!

ReedersChoice.com

reed-em-and-weep.co.uk

dailyreed.co.uk


ok, enough....what exactly will you be using the website for should be the first question?

 

[theMusicMan]

How about...

www.canoncamerasmotorsportsminisapplemacsnitrorc.com - just bound to be available!!!

Alternatively...

As, like myself, you are a Mac owner, perhaps:

www.iDarryn.com
www.iCanon.com - this is gone sorry!
www.iDRsavage.com

or similar...?

I always think that the dot com domain is the preferred option.

Good luck with whatever you choose though Darryn.

[Ladybird]

Personally, don't see whats wrong? :shrug: Dreeder sounds cool, like some mythical monster/warlock, thought you may have been into gaming like D&D? Dont laught, I used to be good at it!

I ended up going for http://darrynreeder.com Im now in the process of uploading some content and having a play about with Wordpress, which seems like a nice front end which I can customize nicely.

Which image gallery plug-in are you going to use?
Just curious.

 

[Darryn]

Ive just been looking at the differant widgets and plug-ins... I havent got a clue, I had planned on using seperate Lightroom/Photoshop Galleries.

 

[Slapo]

Well, if you want it elegant and flash based (I don't like flash, but people seem to like it in general), then there's a wp plug-in for simpleviewer.

There are other ones, but I don't use wordpress myself (as I said, was just curious).
If you need a more robust solution, I have tried Drupal and liked it as a fairly simple one of this category (it also has some image gallery modules and shop modules, if you decided it's time to sell something).
I use a system of my own on my website, because I found the other ones just too... fluffy or something.
