Here’s my personal page [www.1728.com/prsnl.htm](http://www.1728.com/prsnl.htm)  
but if you want to see a more serious side, go to the main index page at [www.1728.com](http://www.1728.com)  
If nothing else, click on the Website Design Tools. It seems some of you are beginners at website design and this might give you some interesting tools with which to work.

I have three sites. I have two sites that are basically defunct and were just little projects from several years back, they were my first amateurish attempts at web design and graphics, but overall I think they were pretty good for first attempts. There are also some goodies on my sites, if you are interested (i.e.-Laetitia Casta pix, interesting Cult wallpapers, etc.).  
[Homepage](http://taokow.tripod.com)  
[Cult Party](http://thecultparty.tripod.com)  
My third site is my haiku site, it still gets hits but hasn’t beeen updated in quite some time. It is a bit embarassing as far as my haiku, but I have since improved as a haijin (thanks to [World Haiku Club](http://www.worldhaikuclub.org/)~ Thank you Susumu!) and guarantee that my current work is much better and more nuanced (and untitled :smack: ). These are literally all of my very first haiku attempts at Byakkohaiku. I just haven’t been able to update my haiku evolutions in at least two years for a few different reasons. There is also a cool haiku generator that you might enjoy experimenting with.

Why thank you. I like your art work, very nice. I’ll go with “red night” followed by “disco inferno” as my favorites.

Here is mine: [http://www.punkhistorycanada.ca](http://www.punkhistorycanada.ca)

I am the sole webmaster, although I have guys helping me with scanning, encoding stuff to video and handling all the emailed in contributions. It is completely a personal project - although we sell t-shirts we’ve lost more money on the site than earned.

The site has grown exponentially since it started - here is a short traffic synopsis:

Nov of 2002  
Total Hits  
45132  
Total Files  
7552  
Total Pages  
2285  
Total Visits

Total Hits  
968597  
Total Files  
695092  
Total Pages  
120491  
Total Visits

I can’t believe sometimes I am involved in something this big! I really gotta finish the redesign sometime soon - but with about 200 emails a week to respond to and about 100 items to post, it is hard to keep up.

With that amount of traffic you should definitely not be losing money on the site.

Between all of my pages, last month I got a little over 320,000 page views. Through my [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) commissions and [Adsense](http://www.google.com/ads/), I do just fine. I am not allowed to tell you how much I make (and it varies from month to month), but suffice it to say that I have paid for _annual_ web hosting expenses several times over, I upgraded my copies of both Dreamweaver and MS Office, and more—just in the last few months.

[Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com)’s Associate program is kind of “transparent” advertising—you just put in special links (with your Amazon ID imbedded) when you link to an album or book at [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com). Adsense—well, you’ve seen their ads everywhere, and they’re pretty non-obnoxious. You can choose different ad sizes, and you can customize the color scheme so it matches your site and doesn’t look ugly and tacky. I was ambivalent about Adsense at first, but it’s pretty non-obnoxious (as I said before) and the money just makes you feel very encouraged and gets you to make more pages. (Not that you want to design pages _just_ for Adsense, that’s a bad idea.) Adsense has some strict rules (not impossible to keep, common sense really) but if you break one of them and get kicked out, you are kicked out for good. Many web publishers make tons of money from Adsense (over $10,000 is not uncommon) but most of us just cover our hosting expenses, pay off some other bills, and have a little left over. Which is cool.

(No, I don’t get anything for hawking [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) or Adsense. They’ve just worked really well for me.)

But rather a message board I made for the school I’m going to right now: Brevard Community College. [Link](http://p201.ezboard.com/bbccunderground)

Yes…not many threads so far. At this point in time, I only have two flyers hanging up on campus, and traffics not going to increase untill I manage to get make an example and get some quality threads posted. However, I would like to give the community at my school a voice of sorts, and so I’m going to pursue the success of the board to the bitter, or glorious end. If nothing else, the banner is pretty neat.

With the crowd that somes on my site – advertising would be a bad idea. So I pay for hosting. The T-shirts pay me back for it.

Here’s a page I put together detailing the construction of my never-ending Home theater project:

[My Home Theater Project](http://members.shaw.ca/danhanson/Theater/HomeTheater.htm)

Here’s a couple of pages from **Happy Fun Pundit** , my political/humor site:

[10 Things I Hate About Star Trek](http://www.happyfunpundit.com/hfp/archives/000514.html#000514)

[The Jihad Boys](http://www.happyfunpundit.com/hfp/hits/jihad.htm)

That ‘Star Trek’ page got over 100,000 hits, after it was linked to from a couple of major magazines and Wil Wheaton’s personal web page (“Wesley Crusher”). He had a good sense of humor about it, anyway.
