It’s pretty much impossible to understand the glory of owning, creating, managing, and designing your own website, unless you have done so. And I am not talking about going to geocities and setting up a template site in like 45 seconds – I am talking about buying a domain, renting a host, uploading your content, and editting it to your hearts content.

I was making some changes to the template we use here a moment ago and it dawned on me that only a small percentage of people likely even get such a chance. Sure, a lot of people have websites – its easy now with places that let you manufacture sites ultra quick with almost no effort. Hell, even this site wasn’t a huge effort on my part, but the effort continues and a lot of people would just get it going and as soon as they could type in a little box, that would be it. Hell, most of the people I know just gasp in awe that one can even know how to put a website up if it isn’t automagicly done for them.

I believe that getting a proper site running is a mixture of patience, creativity, and daring to do things even if you find them to be silly. Once its all up there and its all good to go, though, the glory to be had is great. You just want to tell everyone you know to check out your awesome new website and to read it and feedback about it.

So yes, webmasters like feedback – lots of feedback. Give us ideas and things to do and, unless its totally unrealistic, we will try to make it happen. Even with this site, as it matures, I want to know what can be done to make it grow, make it better, make it more interesting. Right now it seems like just another blog but there are a lot of ideas floating around with ways to make it great. If you have ideas too, let me know.
