Open!
Posted Jun 22, 2009. Filed under .
Well, after months and months, Precious Memories is finally re-open & ready for business! First a little backstory I think is needed. This is the story of how I got my own domain. First, my previous host and one of my dearest friends, April, had a major life changing event that happened in her family, so she told her current hostees (me and my other dearest friend, Kristen) to find a new host as she wouldn’t be able to have as much online time as she’s had in the past and wouldn’t be around if one of our sites had a problem or if we needed her or anything. So then, I contacted Shannon to see if she would host me, and she said yes. 
However, then, around my birthday time (April 15th), I got my usual gift, 2 $50 pre-paid Visa gift cards. At the time, I wasn’t sure what on Earth I’d use them for, because I already pretty much had everything I wanted. Then the thought came to me: “Why not get my first domain with them this time?” So I asked April several questions about how owning a domain works and everything. And in May 2009, I registered precious-memory.net with namecheap.com, and got the free hosting from the lovely Kya of bubble.nu. So there’s my story. I have recently finished re-adding old members & affiliates to every one of my fanlistings. That was a time-consuming task, but I’m glad I have it all done. Now I can start re-adding in my joined fanlistings from my old site, which will take more time, but I don’t mind. It keeps me busy.
Before I go, I must thank Nikie again for letting me use her coding. I want to learn how to skin to sometime soon, but for now I’m just going to put layouts up the old-fashioned way. But anyway, thanks again Nikie. 
That’s all the update I have for now. In the coming days, I’ll be re-adding my joined FLs and joining new ones, and I want to revamp some of my fanlistings too, so there’ll be more updates ahead!
