  • This website is fully functional now that it has been remade.
  •  Start with the body → the website has also been completely remade and is now fully functional.
  • thru my eyes by taochild → I had to rebuild the site from scratch. it is fully functional now but far from complete
  • The odd ramblings of a mind that does not quite fit → the website has also been completely remade and is now fully functional. Now I just need to post something!
  • PAX Nation → It is again fully functional, but it also needs a lot of work and probably a lot of modification.

The other websites either do not need much done to them, I have yet to get to them, or most likely I do not know WHAT I want to do with them. My momentum is still strong, so it is likely all of them will get a least a superficial makeover. The next challenges include actually posting things and then getting others to read what I post. The first I have already begun (even if mostly here). The second might be more a matter of luck or accident than anything!

If anybody is reading these posts other than myself (and maybe my family), they might be wondering why I have so many sites. The short answer is: “That is a very good question!”. The long answer is really too long not to require a rather wordy post of its own (which maybe I will do at some point), but suffice to say each site represents a specific area of interest for me, and it seemed easier to me to separate those interest instead of combining them all into one extremely extensive site. I have enough of a challenge getting people to my simpler sites!

Now that I have made a level of progress that even makes ME feel like I have accomplished something, I might have to slow down on the design side an maybe start POSTING a few creations!

Until the next time!

P.S. I am still pretty sure I am talking to myself.

“I could tell you my adventures—beginning from this morning,” said Alice a little timidly; “but it’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.

Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”

How do you know I’m mad?” said Alice.

You must be,” said the Cat, “or you wouldn’t have come here.”

“Do you know, I always thought unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!”

Well, now that we have seen each other,” said the unicorn, “if you’ll believe in me, I’ll believe in you.”

-Lewis Caroll

When I first chose it, it was a little dusty on the inside, so I figured I would rinse it out with soapy water.
