ABOUT GOLD! THE HISTORY.
Here's the history of the personal sites that I have owned.
Insaneness - My very first blog. Hosted at
brinkster.com.
It was simple, had a funky name, and I had fun with it. I'd give out the link, but sometimes I still post there
when I want a little more privacy.
ehdel-meleth.net - My first domain! I was completely
obsessed with The Lord of the Rings at the times,
therefore chose an elvish site name. It was originally going to be an Orlando Bloom fansite domain, but I decided against it.
The name translated is "elf-love", because, who doesn't love the Tolkien elves? I got a lot of hits at this domain, due tothe
fact that I had hosted the Jack Sparrow/Will Turner of Te Pirates of the Caribbean fanlisting, which was a big obsession topic when
it first came out. I miss this domain a lot. Those early webdesigning days were the best.
silver-glass.net - Meh. Still Lord of the Rings related. In the song
Into the West by Annie Lennox, there's a line
And all will turn to silver glass / A light on the water / Grey ships pass / into the West." I thought it was very pretty, but apparently, so did a lot of people. There were silver-glass, silverglass .coms, .orgs, and .nets. I felt really unoriginal, therefore, kind of didn't like this domain as much.
I had some really good layouts up there, though. I loved a lot of them, but then my computer crashed, and my stupid server crashed, and they're gone now. Sucks. I didn't renew the domain after the server crash. Then I went to
livejournal.com for about 8 months of hibernation, lol.
Gold - I finally have a real site again! Thanks to the very kickass,
Marielle, who is of course, my best online friend of many years! Hahaha. Hopefully, I'll do this domain proud!
