do you follow your husband's last name after married? or keeping your own? or add it along with your last name?

I just got married and I did change my last name.
Some people say when you have kids and you travel with them its best to have the same last name so there will be less questions asked...but I changed it just because I wanted to take on my husband's last name.

Let me know if you do want to change it...I can tell you what needs to be changed and in what order (there IS an order to it ;))

My wife still keeps her own.

I am urging my wife to change it when she gets her citizenship.

Just make sure to change all you ID, insurance, (credit)card, bills, accounts and stuffs... otherwise you might forget which name did you use... hehehe

i heard that if you change your last name you need to post it on newspaper??

I would suggest, either to change to your husband one (but gotta change every document too including any kind of personal ID and insurance...etc) or just don't change it. But consider not to add on yours cuz it would become too complicated and confusing for putting the two last names side by side, especially assuming you're a Chinese with regular two groups of initials plus a English first name plus two last names altogether..... whenever you need to fill out any official document in the future is a panic.
