New Sites

Around the end of August I went and bought a domain name and hosting package through 1&1 - S.A. Hyde, Hypnotist. The package was three months hosting for 5.99 a month, then 9.99 a month after that. I got three free domain names in with the package. All well and good I thought, until I started trying to build the site.
1&1 has this really neat set of templates, but you can't change the HTML in them. For that, you have to pay an additional 9.99 a month for the Website Builder Plus package, billable in three month increments.
Then, last month, they added a new "freebie" called RatePoint, a separate company that allows customers to rate you and your business much in the same fashion as eBay's old feedback system. Only problem is, you'd have to be able to add their HTML code to your site in order for things to work properly.
Well, I found a way around the code problem. I created a mirror site on Tripod, borrowed a few things from 1&1, set up a bookstore with Amazon and !Shazam!, I have a working business site - S.A.Hyde, Hypnotist.
From there, I've gone on to revamp my personal website. It's now Hyde In Plain Sight. I also have a photo album showing my latest hobby - Steampunk!
One of the wonderful things about the three above sites is that when I buy a new domain through Tripod, the URLs will get much shorter.

More to come!
