Your member name is used when you log-in to your account, but when you start publishing articles you can choose to use either your member name or your real name. Perhaps, your login could be your first and last name with no spaces? Anyways -- good luck! @Rob Reed,

I want to sign up for eHow with my real name, first and last. The sign in doesn't allow blank spaces. Yet, I see users that have their first and last name, with a blank space, as their user name. How do I sign up that way? I can't ask on the forums because I need to sign up for an account to use the forums and my question is about signing up for an account. You see the problem. Any ideas? Or, if you don't know, any chance you could post my question in the forums for me? I have been reading them the last week or so before I decided to sign up. Pat,

I can't believe you increased your earnings that much in December! That's totally awesome! You should be writing posts about this type of stuff, not me! Why not just keep an excel file one month and see what happens? It's actually pretty cool to see how the earnings unfold as the month goes by. Great job, keep up the good work! @Cyn, Wow!
