  Does it mean anything if a domain has the www in front of it? Why do some domains have it but not others?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It isn’t really necessary. http://www.example.com was used to designate the webserver back in the old days when other servers like mail.example.com and http://ftp.example.com were entirely separate, but everything runs under the webserver these days, so www. is actually obsolete and starting to fall of out style rather quickly.
