Many things
Jan. 20th, 2005 05:15 pmI will post more often. I swear it.
For the negative criticism meme going around: feel free to do me! Here's my stuff. I'll accept negative criticism anytime, of course, but since this is an excuse for me to beg for more feedback (and I do like negative feedback just as much as OMG BEST THING EVAR feedback, especially since it tends to take more thought and effort), I fully support it.
You know the other meme going around right now, about 'Leave a comment and I'll say something nice about you'? I've discovered that I'm incapable of it. I know that the whole point is encourage compliments, and that it's not being egotistical to ask to be included, and yet I can never bring myself to leave that comment, no matter how well I know the person or how much I'd like to hear what they'd say. I think this is some weird leftover from being painfully shy when I was younger.
I'm redesigning my website, and I'm almost done- the only things I've got left to code are a page for links and one for icons (which, I keep wondering, is that even worth it? It's not as if I make icons that are well-done enough to be worth saving. And yet, I hate to lose anything I've created. It makes me sad.) The problem is that I hate my host, envy.nu. I abhor it. I liked it fine when I first got an account there, years ago, when there were no ads and the upload features were simpler, but now there's not only popups, not only banners, but multiples of both, in addition to no hotlinking and a weird feature where some of my pages can be linked to from offsite, but others can't.
Are there any free hosts left that actually don't suck? Or, on the other hand, I've been thinking about getting a domain. How much does that usually cost? What are some good providers? I like that idea, because it'd make me happy to be able to provide hosting for people I like, and because every now and then I kick around the idea of starting a general archive for YnM (and then I remember that I have no time. But I like the idea). There's KatCom and Phantom Moon and JuOhCho Files, of course, but I want something that's general, still operating, and organized differently, more like Slashing the Angel, say. Something very easy and searchable.
Anyway, that's not the point. Right now, I'd just like some advice on where to get a new host, if anyone knows anything. ^^
