Good to know that the resources here are so friendly!
One other question- when I purchased the domain, I also got somethig called WHOISGuard for free (for the first year, anyway). This seemed like a good idea to me, since I'm not a business and I'd rather not broadcast the home address of me and my wife and young son across the web, but wanted to ask the opinion of folks here. Is WHOISGuard a worthwile thing, or just a $$ scam (like the phone company's "service" of blocking incoming phone calls that block their caller ID)?

If it's free, then enjoy it my friend
Personally, I sometimes prefer it because of telemarketers or people who abuse the whois system. Then again, if you have a P.O box address or you don't really care that much, then you can leave it. These days, it doesn't matter to much. I think businesses tend to leave it for sure and it's most likely the personal type of sites, that tend to mabye hide it.
We have discussions on this if you search through the topics. It will give you more information and better arguments or the matter of WhoisGuard
