After years of creating and maintaining my own websites, I am now at an age where I don't give a damn.
I have created them, had them hacked, lost everything, recreated including e-commerce stores.
I have come to realise that the hosting companies offer you the 2 or 3 years deals to get the website off the ground and showing in all the search engines. Then they start reporting 'glitches' of too much traffic or hacking attempts. Then the triple the price of hosting so that its then not economically viable for a small home run business.
I even paid a fortune for my last Do Tutu site and had it 'professionally' designed. Which made a change from my home grown self taught methods.
However, the costs of supporting the site became prohibited and honestly, I didn't get any more business from it. What I did get was inappropriate requests from all over the world, several hacking attempts and my designs being ripped off and used on Chinese sites.
So as all my labels (yes I know, I over ordered!) still have a web address. I thought I would use my blogger for a single page contact.
It may grow, but don't expect me to be on here baring my soul. After all, I am tied to my sewing machine and up to the armpits in tulle!
