New>> My new Blog’s & Website

Hi, I have my own domain with a Blog and a listing of all the video clips I like from around all the various video sharing sites.

To access my blog, simply head over to http://www.friedgreenkidneybean.com/blog. On there I have all sorts of news about my websites, things that I come across on a regular basis across the net and a few moans and grumbles a long the way.

I also have, what I termed, The Black Hole in recognition of Colin Murry’s great idea on BBC Radio 1. I’m going to try and archive as many of their past entries in my very own Black Hole site, as well as adding in my own content and yours! Yes, that’s right, I would like to hear from you if you have any funny and interesting links you would like to share and see on the website.

Moving on, I also have a Help and resources area on my website which will eventually have guides, hints and tips on keeping your computer working nicely and keeping it away from the dark side, well the blue screen of death anyway. This is very much a work in progress and will take me a bit of time and I’ll always be adding to it. If you would like to help me with that, please feel free to get in touch using my blog’s contact form or by sending me an email with any help you may be able to give.

My websites

It’s weird, I had all these big ideas on what I wanted to do with them, but then the more I think about it, the less enthusiasm I have for doing all I planned.

The www.student-ac.com came out of a sheer headache trying to find accommodation at uni and thinking that the only good site I found was the Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan universities own joint venture, www.manchesterstudenthomes.com. Now that is all well and good if you’re off to uni in Manchester, but else where, well I found a few university websites were lacking and the only other websites advertising student accommodation were pretty limited in content and not very effective. I decided I would just register the name and have a play around when I got to uni and found somebody to work on it with. But alas, nobody I know on my course so far seems interested in doing the internet computing side of things.

I also made up www.lettings -ac.com as an after thought at the time since the host I went with was offering me 5 free domains. Not really sure it is even worth spending the £10 a year each on keeping them alive since I really can’t see me ever using them. But then I think £10 isn’t a great deal of money and if I’m paying for yearly webhosting then it mabe worth hanging on to them just in case but yeah well…

So anyway, I really do need to get this new webhosting sorted, but my problem is I’m being offered 3 free domains with the new host which doesn’t include the three domains I am considering taking over with me which is a bit rubbish. I just don’t want to get to the stage where I have three new domains and then the three old domains too. Really isn’t something I’m relishing, having to pay £60 for 6 domain names a year just in case I ever do find a use for them :p

My ideas for website domains:

1. New domain for homes for both sale and rent as well as a few other bits and bobs, but then there are established websites out there already doing what I want to do…
2. New domain for bands, singers, producers and DJs to have their own artist pages, but myspace is just too popular!?
3. New domain for… Who knows, but then they are free so I could register them and then give them up I guess!?

My current website domains:

1. www.friedgreenkidneybean.com – just lots of randomness, help, hints & tips and links (like this blog will be)
2. www.student-ac.com – a website advertising student homes and rooms for rent
3. www.lettings-ac.com – a website advertising homes for rent, although I wonder if it’s worth bothering with…

Just far too much to think about and well, who knows…
