Domain me

[randy_byers]

I finally pulled the trigger today and signed up with PowWeb for web hosting and thereby acquired a domain. I was amused that PowWeb notified me of other related domains that I could secure to "protect" my brand, and one of them is randybyers.org.uk, which is almost tempting, just in case the Brits really do end up importing me. (A plan is afoot.) I went with randybyers.net, although there's nothing there yet so don't bother to look.

Anyway, now comes the hard part: Creating a web page. Guess I need to download Word Press next. Might help if I had a better idea what I'm intending to do with this blog.

My web page, which comes with my earthlink account, consists entirely of personally hand-coded HTML.

For a while, when I already had the page set up, but while I still had my personal pages on my Stanford account, my earthlink web site had only a short quote from The Book of Lost Tales.

Yeah, I should put up some kind of placeholder. Real Soon Now.

Time was you'd have to recruit a bunch of large hairy men with spears in order to acquire a domain. And you'll all have thought of every line that follows that, so I won't bother...

Very well then. Have you recovered from the trip yet? Realized that it was all a dream? I hear from Dr. Rob that plans are afoot to put out a collection of your artwork as a fund-raiser for the Corflu Fifty. Great idea!
