Not sure of your real name, but you could just use it in a business-style format. this style would like something like this: Firstname.Lastname@domain.com

for example (simply using an initial for the last name), yours could possibly look like this: Cody.B@PinchPennyPress.com

that style is generally adopted by businesses, and I (personally) think that this looks very professional. So, I would suggest that you would use it. Just MHO.

Actually, I think what he wants to do is establish that domain to be used for an email address.
To do this, you need to register that domain name. (for instance at www.networksolutions.com) (http://www.networksolutions.com)) so no one else gets it. I think the fee is $70 for two years. They may be running a special if you are lucky! http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif Then you have to get a web host. If all you need is a basic website and one email address to start off with, then you can try the all famous and cheap www.onedollarhosting.com (http://www.onedollarhosting.com) or find another provider (i use prowebsites.com but I am getting ready to switch because their tech support SUCKS!).
Then, you are pretty much done. Yu can select what you want the email address to be.

What you're offering to share is use of the www.pinchpennypress.co (http://www.pinchpennypress.co) m. You might just hang onto it for whatever happens in the future with the biz, or decide if its worth the money for the domain name just for the email (you'll have to continue paying for it each year).

It adds some credibility having your biz's domain name on your email address (vs. just a yahoo address), but it also sort of implies that you have a site, so you might get people trying to visit it for more info.
