    What do you think about it? In my domain , at the beginning "the" phrase.
    I know "the" is not a keyword.
    How affect "the" word to a domain and SEO.

    The shorter is the domain the better.
    So if you can go without the "the" don't wonder much ;)

    Usually is better without it, but with good keyword could nice too.
    Example: "bestBeer.com" is a great domain, and "theBestBeer.com" is probably even better.

    Sometimes it pays to check whether the domain would sound better with the in it

    Why not ? But for your sig, instead of "TheSiteWriter" as anchor text IMO is best "The site writer", "Digital citizen writer" or "Digital citizen maker".
