Thank You To Everyone Who Voted For My Site
At some time during January, the hs2go.net domain was "parked" as the person who had sold me the HomeServer software I originally used for my first web site did not renew the DNS service for the hs2go domain when it expired in December 2005.
Fortunately I had expected this after I noticed that the support site and the home page for the software supplier had disappeared into Cyberspace in the fall during my disaster with my ISP.
I did still have a few links that "broke" when the service became unavailable -- they were reasonably easy to clear up. I shudder to think what would have happened had I not reworked my site in anticipation of this demise.
(You can read about the trials and tribulations of my preparedness in earlier editions of this newsletter -- particularly October 2005.)
I would not likely have wound up winning the CardMaster Championship if my site had disappeared mid-contest.
In addition to winning the contest, January has been an unexpectedly busy month for Cards From Ogden Point. The stream of visitors continued even after the end of the contest. By January 28 when Cards From Ogden Point showed up as number 22 in the top 40 card sites on the MyPostcards Network, January 2006 had become the second busiest month in the site history.
