Smugmug Homepage

[Jamoke]

K, I understand the cname records and how they work, but want to have my 'hosted webpage' be www.stickspics.com (http://www.stickspics.com), and all of my galleries available through the site. (Kinda how it's working now, check it out (http://www.stickspics.com))

but I've got an html document (http://stickspics.com) Currently located at stickspics.com (no www in front of it). But if anyone types stickspics.com/Sarah/ (http://stickspics.com/Sarah) they don't get the same thing as www.stickspics.com/Sarah/ (http://www.stickspics.com/Sarah/) . I think this is because my hosted webpage (stickspics.com) doesn't have a subdirectory called Sarah. It does have one called Judco (http://www.stickspics.com/Judco/) But anyway.

What I want is to have the html document located at stickspics.com to control the homepage www.stickspics.com (http://www.stickspics.com). Currently www.stickspics.com (http://www.stickspics.com) is hosted at jamoke.smugmug.com And I want to overwrite that file. So... I want to use my own HTML for the homepage, but I want everything else to work exactly as it does on www.stickspics.com (http://www.stickspics.com/)

I know it can be done, because many of you are currently doing it.
Oh, BTW, I use GoDaddy.com for my hosting, and they claim they can't help me at all.

are you asking to make it like this?

moonriverphotography.com

and

www.moonriverphotography.com

I don't think so, because it looks like your just pointing moonriverphotography.com to www.moonriverphotography.com.

It looks like your still using the Smugmug CSS format. Rather than commanding the boxes to behave themselves, and adding old school stuff into my code, I just wanted to use my own HTML. Ah! A great example would be: Emily MacAskill Photography (http://www.emphoto.com/)

The way that site works though, is they've created the navigation on an external site, and point to http://emphoto.smugmug.com/ with all of their links. However they don't use any C-Name stuff, and if you go to the smugmug Homepage, you don't get back to http://www.emphoto.com (http://www.emphoto.com/) . The only way to see the actual homepage is to click in the header code, which then forces you back to the other domain.

I wanted to do something similar, maybe with some re-direct code on my jamoke.smugmug.com (http://jamoke.smugmug.com) homepage, to force the users back to http://stickspics.com. I don't know if this can even be done, because I know smugmug blocks/prevents a lot of code from working within their servers. And that's the real problem. I can't get my bio to flow the way that I want it to. So I want to go all out on the customization, but before I spend the time, I need to get all this set up.
