Is it possible, and if so, how, to have multiple domain names point to the same smugmug site?

Pick a primary name and set it as your Smugmug hostname, then have all the rest redirect/forward to the primary.
Try www.billgerrard.com and gallery.primarycolors.com as examples.

And because I am no computer genius, how do I go about doing that?
:wink
I did manage to set a primary name, but how do I get the others to redirect to the primary?
Thank you if you can help me!

You need to do that whereever you have registered the domain. There should be a setting there where you can forward the domain.
For example, I have www.denisegoldberg.com (http://www.denisegoldberg.com) CNAMEd to my smugmug site. And I have www.denisegoldbergphotography.com (http://www.denisegoldbergphotography.com) forwarded to www.denisegoldberg.com (http://www.denisegoldberg.com). That domain (denisegoldbergphotography) is registered at GoDaddy, so I went to the GoDaddy site, logged in to my domain, and specified a forwarding address of www.denisegoldberg.com (http://www.denisegoldberg.com).
