A few months ago I purchased my domain name. I wasnt sure what I was going to do with it but it would be dumb for me to pass it up. I know there are other Shelby MacLeods out there so it wasnt going to be available forever.

After that I asked the web what I should do with my domain. The web didnt really give me an answer. Pfeffer and Anthony said they had ideas but Pfeffer is off building Foursquare apps and Anthony was chasing rainbows. So after 3 or so months I still had nothing.

Then I got the idea in my head that I could make my own site. I didnt want a Blogger site as I already had one of those . I felt the urge or the need to make something on my own. I hadnt made anything of my own in a long time as the last thing I made takes up all of my free time. But I felt like I had to do this to prove it to myself that I could.

So here I am today. I am live. It is not much yet but I am proud of myself nonetheless. It actually wasnt that hard given that the web has lots of help sites and anytime I ran into a problem I could Google to find the answer. It probably took me 6 hours total to get this initial post live which I am sure is 300 times longer than it would take someone who actually knew what they were doing. But I did it all by myself!
