Explorations branching out
Thursday, 24. May 2007, 03:16:01
Hello.
Well finally i am getting somewhere with my website. For those who don't know i gave up on the free geocities package as honestly it was a little too basic and for what i'd like to have up eventually, i found a good web host for £30 for two years to host my site till 2009 if it works well i might just keep it.
The geocities site is going to work as a sort of hub and a personal profile, might as well use it, for now at least.
This blog i am keeping to explore my thoughts with my much loved friends, and i do love this blog it is my area for exploring Dao without any preasure of being a forum admin.
How well this will all work i don't know, but it will keep me busy over the summer, and once the main work is done maintaining the website will be easy enough when uni resumes in the autum.
It is funny, when i first found the old Tao forum on msn connected to taoism.net i never imagined i would have the knowledge or confidence to be an admin, a decent admin, to have a reasonably active Dao blog, to have an active and decently visted myspace page and blog, or to even think about writing and maintaining my own Daoist web page. Although this was sometime ago and the web was a little more basic than it is now blogging was in its infancy really but still.
Mind you at that time i had never imagined i would be capable of going to uni doing a honours degree and do well, and here i am 8ish (i can never remeber exactly when i found Daoism i know how but when is educated guessing) years later and through Dao cultivation have opened my true self and am doing all of these amazing things.
Anyway more on that in a more coherent post later, for now here are the links.

The Tao websites look promising. :)

Hi Becca,
I'm glad you're enjoying the journey!
I took a nose at your new site, I like the design, good luck with it! Are you looking at learning HTML and CSS or are you using an editor?
I've found it's amazing how your web presence sort of expends, I started with just a small blogger blog, now I'm in all sorts of places and experimenting with new and odd stuff that I'd never even heard of 2 months ago. I have no idea how it will turn out, but I'm having fun, so what the heck!
Rich.

currently i'm useing frontpage, it is easier to get all i want up there with a minimum of frustration.
Eventually i would probably learn some CSS i know very very basic html after a fashion.
Truthfully it is such fun, and amazing to be branching out into different forms of expression and exploration.
