Old WEBnME Site

In 1999 a colleague of mine challenged me to find a domain name that would fit on a vehicle license plate, build a site with the address, and keep it running for at least a year. I picked WEBnME with the idea that I might write about things that were related to the web and being a webmaster and ended up running the site for eleven years as a personal website and as a place to experiment with website coding and design.

One of the core features of the site was a blog integrated into the home page of the site. More than 760 articles were entered via Blogger and sent via FTP to the website from 2003 to 2010. In February 2010, Blogger announced it would discontinue support of blogs maintained by FTP. Most of the content on the site was old and getting older. It was time for a fresh start using applications that integrate with the iPhone and with a simplified design without the clutter of too many decaying links. As a result, WEBnME2 emerged.

The old website is being maintained as a “ghost town” website – one that is no longer current or maintained, but which may still have useful reference material or other useful attributes. I suppose it will eventually fade away and die, but for now it still will be available at http://webnme.com.
