Hi!

Thanks a lot you guys!

I checked a few of my chosen names and the best ones were still available. It's only $10/year?? I think I can afford that, even without a job.

I got lost in Steve's SBI articles. I don't know if that is the best thing for this particular project. It would sure be nice to make a lot of money (esp since I quit my job), but I'm not doing this particular project to make money, that is secondary. The primary purpose is to make a place for my self-expression and some of my interests and to share those things, and also add interests as I figure out how to transfer them to the net. I hope I could make a certain amount of money eventually with that, but I can't see myself ever doing something with the primary goal and motivation being to make money. SBI seems to be geared only towards people who are making sites for the sole purpose of making money. I don't know if my site will fit into the requirements of a website/blog-website, it doesn't seem like it will, which figures, since nothing else I do fits into the pre-established required categories.

Marth, I was looking up some webhosts, like Dreamhost. That page you gave me a link to where I pay $10 a year and buy the domain name I choose, is that site a webhost? Or what is that? Is a webhost something different? If I buy a hosting account, does that mean I don't have to pay a monthly fee for a webhost?
