    My website is now called:

    http://www.healing-tao-alchemy.com

    I just wanted to simplify it a bit, but have not worked on it in a while. I’ll eventually take time to build it up.

    Good change.
    I like it 🙂

    Only thing is, is that by using the website address you have,
    you should relabel your main page to say Healing Tao Alchemy
    in the left corner, rather than Dao with a d.
    Having different spellings may confuse people who want to
    remember your web address . . .

    Hi Chris,

    I like your website. Many of the links are not valid at this point. But it does have the potential to host a lot of good information as the labels display. I take it you are still in development with it.

    Where are you located?

    Yup, still in development…mixture of procrastination and too much work.

    Good point…I like the transliteration with the “D” better, but if someone was searcning, they would most likely look for “tao”, so will think about what to do with that.

    Hi Chris,

    Here are some different aspects to this issue to think about:

    1. You may want to keep the “T” on the main page for the
    reason that people may see the “D” and copy your web address
    incorrectly.

    2. You may want the “T”, because most outsiders to Daoism
    still spell Dao with a “T”, and you want people to find your
    website easily.

    3. You may want to use the “T”, as The Healing Tao organization
    is still mostly referred to (officially) by the “T” as opposed to “D”.

    If you really like the “D”, at any rate:

    1. You could always change your website
    address again to http://www.healing-dao-alchemy.com 🙂

    2. On that last note, you could do what I did with my website,
    and spend a little extra and buy BOTH domain names (with the T and the D),
    which direct users to the same website, despite which way they type it.

    My last suggestion (which I implemented) resolves the issue easily,
    but requires you to spend a little more money . . . I guess it
    depends on how much or how little you care about this spelling issue, LOL.

    Smiles,
    Steven
