I had been webdesigning for around two years when I first became interested in getting a domain. I remember browsing all of these wonderful [gaming] domains and thinking, "I want to make something like that".

Lenne.nu, Yumi's domain, was probably my biggest inspiration. I admired both her writing and designing abilities, and ended up setting standards for myself that were sometimes very difficult to reach. Often this frustration led to me deserting my online life for prolonged periods of time, until I once again felt the inspiration to design.

I am finally at the point where I am happy with my writing, designing, and coding abilities. I know that I'm certainly not the best out there, and that I will continue to improve, but I no longer have the need to get frustrated with myself. I feel like I've finally reached my standards, and am happy to showcase my work to the world.

Over the years I have had plans for many websites, but I never actually ended up making many of them simply because I could not be bothered to find myself a host. When I finally did find hosting, I was always so worried about getting my sites up quickly that I ended up rushing and not doing a very thourough job. Having a domain eliminates all of that. No longer do I need to find hosting, nor do I feel the need to get everything up right away. I also like the fact that all of my websites are now located in one place.
