I know the law says that your 2257 info must include the physical address for your custodian of records. However, all risks considered, I'd rather be in violation of that one detail of the law than to publicly divulge my home address, if I were running such a site from my home. If you search the web for 2257 statement for such sites, you'll find very few that work from home display an actual home address.

A gif image with the pertinent text will indeed keep it from getting picked up by the SE's, but it's people (wacko's, neighbors, etc) that I'd be more concerned about and they can still read gif images.

Now we have a office but for the first 5 yrs of our business our 2257 was our home addy never had a problem.Also we never broadcast what we do to the world. We also have mainstream sites we can send people too when they ask what we do like www.creamycandy.com go buy some
