Have fun, but if you decide to host somewhere else other than Yahoo! good 
luck getting them to change the DNS over to - well, anything - they 
subcontract their domain managements, etc. to a co. in Australia and they 
don't return emails, phone calls, ICQs, whatever. I call Yahoo for a 
friend: "You need to contact so and so in Australia." We email them, and a 
few days later: "You need to contact Yahoo." My friend does not profess to 
be tech savvy, nor web-domain-management-smart, and just wanted a straight 
answer from *someone*. Eventually, the bozos at Yahoo do their thing and 
she's now hosted with Earthlink, and happy with them. 

I registered vehicularchicken.org thru Go Daddy, it's cheap and since I'm 
not doing anything with it right now it's being held for free. A friend 
has tekay.org, which redirects to his personal page, and he registered 
with Go Daddy as well. 7.95/year.
