No congratulations necessary. No, I'm not a father - yet. Whahaha.
No, seriously. My baby is my website. No other project has so consumed my adult life. I pour hours and hours into theme changes and content additions, working to beat the last cool thing that I did.
It's fun! Since it's creation late last year, MikeLovdal.com has grown from 1 or 2 users a month to over 300 users per month and growing! The average user spends between 15 and 30 minutes every time they visit, (excluding users that go direct to the forum), and at least 9 websites link back to me.
It's really rewarding to see your own virtual empire being built on the back of all the work you've put into something. Today I just spent an inhuman amount of hours doing a complete retrofit on my site, causing more broken links and graphic chinks than a 10-year-old fansite.
After all that effort, it's nice to know that users will be able to move about my site more freely, discover pages that they may not have otherwise, and just enjoy the site more in general.
This mega update will be published to the web right after Easter (or during if I get jumpy).
If you ever have any comments on my site, good bad or ugly, please email me at cmikeff@hotmail.com
