So today I have bascially sat on my but and browsed the internet all day (Well, while I actually had a connection that is!) and found some new sites to comment on but, I noticed that things have really changed from when I first started creating websites, purchasing domains & hosting people.

Now, when I started with my first domain in like 1999 / 2000 I was 19 or 20 .. that was the average age for people who actually owned domains. Because we had jobs & credit cards and could afford to pay for the website hosting so we bought the domains then offered up our free space to others who needed hosting (Via places like pick-me.net where Jenn & I met).

Now, it seems like a lot of the domain owners are in the 13 to 16 year old range. I must admit that scares me slightly since my child is only 1 1/2 years away from being 13 lol.

I also noticed that people are using FanUpdate as a CMS rather than an actual blogging / CMS script like WordPress, Chyrp, Textpattern etc. I wonder why?

Speaking of CMS I feel so old with all of these programs! I started out coding everything by hand then moving to GreyMatter (that tells you how old I am right there huh? lol), B2, WordPress & sometimes Chyrp. (Yes, Jenn I know you think I should do Chyrp but, I kick ass at WordPress & I think I’m just getting old & set in my ways *bounceheart* )

Ok, enough blathering about the internet .. I suppose I should actually go do something around the house today
