Then, you have to choose a **Name or caption**. Normally, your first channel will be one that represents you - so using your own name (or pseudonym) as the channel name is a good idea.

The **choose a short nickname** box is similar to a **username** field. It is used to create a channel address, which other people will use to connect to you, and you will use to log in to other sites. This will look like an email address, and takes the form **nickname@hub.disroot.org**. It is automatically generated according to your **Name and caption**, checking if the username already exists and being transliterated (so that it federates well). Basically you can use only the same characters as email addresses. If the username suggested fits you, click on **Create** to create your channel.

If that's ok, the **Create** button becomes green and you can click on it to create your channel.
