Created my first website, WWW.NONPROFPROG.COM, this last couple of months.  It has been a very interesting process, let me tell you.  It is not what I expected.  First of all I was somewhat expecting that I would have thousands of people visiting right off the bat.  Also I thought Content would magically appear, or I would figure out what to put on it.  Well that hasn’t happened either.  But what has happened, it has given me a deeper appreciation of what kind of work is involved in putting a simple website together.  I am also realizing that I’m going to have to work at it too.  I’m going to have to create original content and actually do some work.
 
What I was doing was going into old computer magazines from the 70’s and 80’s, getting an article or 2 and posting it on a page in the website, clever, huh.  Well was talking to somebody about that, and they kind of warned me that if you want to drop your search engine stats, use other peoples work.  Well, that has kind of put the kibosh on that idea.  So what do you do?  Well for me, it means that I have to go about it at a different angle, and actually it just might be what I have always wanted to do.  So instead of writing about how other people have programmed these old programs, maybe I aught to program some of these example, kind of like if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself.  Of course I’m not that egotistical, because I’m more then willing to have other people do the work, and I’ll take the credit, it is just that nobody really cares about what I’m interested as much as I am.  Ahhh frustrating….
