    About your site

    The site title will appear in the header section of your Scratchpad by default but can be removed later.
    .myspecies.info

    Your sub-domain name should be:

    • Short. You can choose up to 34 characters, but short names and single words are easier to remember. We recommend no more than 20 characters.
    • Simple. The subdomain name should be your website's name.
    • Legal. Spaces and special characters are not allowed. Remember also that domain names are NOT case sensitive.
    • Relevant. For a taxonomic site, enter the highest taxon you will be working on, e.g. "diptera" or "britishdiptera". For a society site, enter the society's acronym, e.g. "bogsoc" or "windsoc".

    An example sub-domain for a Scratchpad on mice/rats would be muridae, which would give a Scratchpad URL of https://muridae.myspecies.info.

    The taxonomic group which best describes what taxa will be featured on your site. e.g. Insecta, Aves, Phthiraptera, Dragons
