Life, The Universe, And AN Hosting

I feel like I am very old.

A few days ago, I decided I wanted to design my own website. Nothing to it, right? With all the plug-n-plays, the modules, the easy WYSIWYG, certainly I could do it.

I'm a smart person, right?

So now, a few days later, I feel like I am my mother, and the demon sitting in front of me is a blinking VCR.

I went with AN Hosting, which by and large is a pretty good deal. Lots of storage, lots of bandwidth, all the nifty bells and whistles - all for about $6.95 a month. Plus, I even found a coupon code, and got 3 months free (coupon code: HR3).

But now I have all these options, and plug ins, and no idea what is better.

I got wordpress loaded up, which was a step in the right direction. But I am too high maintanance, and want what I envision. I understand now why people hire web designers like Sean Middleditch (who does, by the way, take outside projects, and is quite good). Anyways, I am retreating for now, content in the fact I OWN a website, even if it doesn't work yet!

More later.

Oh bloody hell, they've gone online.

At least I know what Todd looks like now.

Guess who?

hmmm...

If I guess wrong, I will be forever teased for it, if this is who I think it is.

Could the person in question possible be tall, handsome, and ex-boyfriendish?

Blush!

Well, my mom thinks I am handsome anyways...

Well, I suppose I will just have to live with not knowing, since you do not seem inclined to volunteer!
