Irene Smith

Two days ago I said that I would make a post to this web site every week for the next year. So why am I posting again only two days later? Because today is the Tenth Anniversary of this web site. Ten years ago today I registered the domain irenesmith.com (and back then it cost me $35 per year) and created this web site.

It has been re-designed many times, of course, over the years but it has been here (and been mine!) for all of that time. Once upon a time, this was a regular web site. Under the covers the pages have been created with HTML, ASP, ASP .NET and PHP. Now I’ve turned the whole thing into a blog because it’s easier to write a post than create a page. I’m lazy, I admit it.

I think it is easier to communicate with visitors this way and I know for sure that, although I haven’t been posting as regularly as  Iwould like, I’ve been posting a heck of a lot more than I did when this was a regular web site. So… a year of posts? Yes. I’ll be posting every week for the forseeable future, not just for a year, but for as long as I have the time to make the posts.

If you have suggestions for future posts, whether it be an article about some aspect of writing, a software review, or something else entirely, please leave a comment and let me know what you want. Then we’ll see how I do.

See you again on Saturday.

Believe it or not, this July irenesmith.com will celebrate its tenth anniversary. According to whois, I purchased this domain in July of 1999. The site has been more active at some times than it has at others, but there has been something created by me, Irene Smith, at this domain continuously since 1999.

I first created my won web site in 1997 when I created a web site at GeoCities. Since then I have had many free and paid web sites in various locations but this site has been a constant since its creation back in ‘99.

My goal for the rest of this year is to post something new and (hopefully!) interesting to this site every week. We’ll see how I do.
