Upcoming Project
After two and a half years of blogging, I've decided to try something new. At the moment, I'm attempting to set up a web site using WordPress. I'm in the process of developing my own theme, and also thinking of what the main focus of the web site will be. I'm thinking of using it as a place for posting poems, stories, a collection of my favorite quotes, and art work. I may have occasional comic strips too. It depends on how reliable my web host will be.

I'm deleting Periscopic Dome and starting fresh. Why? 1. It's a hassel to make updates when all I can use is HTML (my current web host doesn't allow PHP uploads and doesn't provide MySQL services). 2. I don't like using iframes as it's hard to bookmark or link to certain pages. 3. I don't have much of a chance for visitor feedback.

I think this new beginning will motivate me to write with greater control over words, and possibly cause me to become more creative. Hopefully, if I work hard enough, I'll have something to be proud of and cherish for decades.

As one that also uses only HTML to update his website, I say go for it. I haven't updated my website in months due to laziness in having to code a new page for every entry I make, and then having to add it to the archive.

Wow. Your site only uses HTML? That's pretty impressive. Heh...I guess I should have looked at one of your older posts.

Well, I hope you upload your graphic design section sometime soon. I'm pretty excited about seeing it. As for PHP and MySQL, if you're interested there's a host I signed up for at http://www.freehostia.com that seems to be working pretty smoothly as of now. There's no ads, it's free, and you get unlimited subdomains.

That web host is amazing. Wow.

Wordpress is awesome! You should try it. Making the theme is the hardest part. Good luck!

wow..i cant wait to see ur new site when ur done

yeah i'm going to miss out on free candy but now that i'm older i dont think halloween is that important anymore, like why walk miles and miles in the cold wearing and uncomfortable costume just to get one piece of candy from each house? i'd rather just drive to wal-mart and buy a couple bags of candy for like 4 dollars

At the moment, I don't have my own domain. I don't know if I'll ever have my own domain. I guess it mostly depends on the success or failier of the web site...which at the moment hasn't been determined because I'm still in the process of developing it XD.
