I like "http://" as a better (IMO, of course) visual cue, which is why
I used it...  I can probably make a "www." alternative if you like
that better.  (It could work with neither, since ".org" is good enough
in the relevant crowds, but it makes it short enough to be ugly.)

OK -- it is supposed to be centered, but I guess that the left of the
"R" is much more visible as an alignment point over the right tip of
the "t".

You mean "might be a good thing"?  I tried it, but it looks too
disconnected, so I was shooting for making the url go where an
underline for the "Racket" would go.

Yes -- they have such indicators so you know what it is.
