How did we end up here, one year later?


A little backstory.

    You're probably wondering how we ended up here. I acquired this domain a few days back prior to the creation of this website. It served as a simple redirect to my YouTube channel as I haven't planned on creating a website at the time. Then, a few friends told me I should create one, while I was originally against the idea of creating the website, I soon gave in and created this website you are on right now.

Creating the website.

    There are many "site builder" tools online that I could choose and go on my way, but I wanted to go with a more late 90s look of my site. Besides, most but all site builder tools out there are web-based, which might be convenient, but you need to remember since it's web-based, you have to be online just to edit your website, not to mention you have to make an account and be bonded to the terms of service that can change with or without warning. Now sure, I can go out there and download many site builder apps and go that route, which I originally planned to do until one day, when I was rambling in my storage closet, I came across my Microsoft Office 2000 CD which happens to include FrontPage 2000.

    If you want to learn more about why I picked FrontPage 2000 as my WYSIWYG HTML editing software, click here!

The future of this website.

   First and foremost, no I am not abandoning my website. Because of life and work stuff here and there, I don't have much time to add new features to my website. Sure, I do some little updates sometimes, but huge features such as commenting on posts and Active Channels are on hold, since I am the only one maintaining this website and adding new stuff to it. Though, I plan to add more stuff to my repository, such as more software and more fun stuff. However, if you want to suggest what I should add to my website, feel free to reach out to me on my Discord server or any of the socials on the bottom of the page. Who knows? Your idea will definitely be credited and added on my website.

    As I originally made this website out of pure hobby and a fun experiment with FrontPage 2000, and making it a 90s look instead of the modern site design we have today, I am very proud on how it turned out, and it works on most old browsers out there and loads pretty well on dial-up speeds. I might upload some screenshots on how this website was built and updated throughout of 2023.

    Thanks for reading this short blog post and I look forward to adding more stuff to my website in the coming months, and hopefully I have more time to make more blog posts, as it's nearing the end of 2024. (time flies doesn't it?)
