One more question about live templates

I have noticed that the name of the category a template belongs to appears in the address bar in my browser. Is there any way that this can be changed so just the site name and page name appears instead? I think it looks a little amateurish to have it included in the address bar.

If this cannot be changed, I am wondering how this may affect directing a domain name to my site, especially as I have changed my start page to a page using a template.

Why not use the "_default" category with a template?
means , create a page called _template and link it in the site manager to the category _default…
Than all ypur pages withour the "namespace:" before the pagename uses the _template page …

Danger: if the template is wrong than the "start" page is wrong too…

I assume the format for doing this would be to name the template via the 'new page' module:

_default:_template….?

Otherwise I don't see a way of linking a live template to the default category since the template name becomes a new category.

For now I don't think I will be changing anything on my site. After thinking about this it seems logical that a custom domain name will apply to all of the site and not just the default pages. If this is the case then so long as the name of the category using the template relates to the content, the browser address won't look so bad. For instance, if the website is about gardening and the template category is vegetables, the address in the browser bar would look something like this: www.[sitename].com/vegetables. My initial mistake was to have a weird name for the template as I was testing out a few of them.
