ChapterZero

This website has been served over a really slow connection ever since I moved hosting to l33t.ca. That was enough to make me cry- here I have all the features I could possibly want in a host, and start developing a tight website, and it takes so long to load that no one will visit it, including myself. But, I hung in there because it is such a cool host, and I already invested so much on this setup. Getting to the point, the l33t admins said that Real Soon Now the connection speed is going to be kicked up. How soon is soon enough? Yesterday…

So now, I think I’ll start focusing on making the site ready for primetime- having actual visitors who might be interested in seeing some *real* content. Last night I found a cool resource by the same people that make ikonboard, called textswap. It’s exactly like a banner swap except done with text links. So it’ll be nice and inobtrusive, and I think maybe the sites using TextSwap will be a little more likely to attract a crowd that would find my site interesting than bannerswap sites. I know, a big generalization, but that’s how I feel.

I also signed up for about 4 free websites, all under portland.co.uk. I have no idea what for, but the going was good, so I got going.
