Way way back, during the birth of the Internet, when a 14k modem was considered super-fast (and posh!) I used to build all my web sites by hand using nothing more than notepad and raw html (do you remember the ‘created with Notepad’ web icon?). Back then I had a real passion for what I was doing and this showed in my web sites. One of which got two separate reviews in two separate Internet magazines here in the UK.

People liked my site because it showed a real passion for my hobbies and interests. The content would be updated daily without fail and the site design would change at least once every few months. This was true blogging before its time. My sites still get that same level of energy today as they did those many years ago, but the web is a much larger place now and to stand out you’ve got to be willing and ready to go that extra mile, or two.
