My webography

My very first meeting with the internet was when I was isiting a friend and we went online looking for pictures of the Spice Girls. Lol, do you remember them? I was probably about 12 years old. We also broke the house rules and chatted on mIRC. At first I didn’t quite get the whole online chatting thing, I thought we had to use like a phone or something, lol :p From there I started visiting my uncle and chat on mIRC, and when I was visiting my dad once I discovered the Yahoo clubs. I started a fan club for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in 1999 and ran it for a year or two. Along the way I discovered the possibility of making own websites and html.

I started out trying to make a website in html for Buffy the vampire slayer, it was nothing big, just pictures of the cast members and their names written in insanely huge font. It was never “published”. Then I found the geocities pagebuilder. I made a website, with no real “theme” I can’t really remember what was on it, or what I called it, I just remember having a starry animated background, lol :) And I remember winning an award for it, from a fellow geocities site, but I was exstatic! lol :) After a while I found the homestead pagebuilder, that was the very first time I paid for having a website online. I made a Britney Spears fansite and it did quite well actually. It was also my first time ever making a “real” graphic, that was my layouts.

After a while I got tired of running the Britney fansite. And discovered the posibilty of owning your own domain. So I bought my first domain Bad-Bitch.org (yeah, I know…) from Web-Mania.com. They had a really good hosting plan that fit my site perfectly. Bad-Bitch.org grew to be a quite big site, tons and tons of content, lots of visitors and even some fans. My layouts grew from being crappy pictures placed around made in Picture It! to quite cool graphics made in Paint Shop Pro. while having Bad-Bitch.org I discovered Cliques. I started a clique called “Damn Proud Fan”, and amazingly enough it grew to be quite big. I had it for a little over a year and got tired of it. I also started a Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen fansite hosted at Bad-Bitch.org. And that also grew to be somewhat big, and when I signed up to get it hosted at Fancube they offered to also host my personal site.

Fancube had a really good hosting plan, unlimited everything for $10 year. And since I was sick and tired of the idiotic name Bad-Bitch.org I took the opportunity and changed the name to the original name of my website, Zassy.net. May 16th, 2003 Zassy.net opened, it was a quite big site, with lots of the content from Bad-Bitch.org and I had a very original beauty section, with make-up, fashion, fitness etc. Summer 2004 I needed a break from running a big domain. Early 2004 I discovered TCGs and had started two of my own, Talented Success and Onyx. So they took up alot of my time until January 2005 when I decided it was time to bring back Zassy.net

Summer 2005 I had to close all my sites cause I was moving away to go to school so I had about a year long break from anything internet. Then Summer 2006 I decided to open up one of my TCGs again, cause I really missed it and TCGs are really addictive, I re-opened Talented Success. Fall 2006 sometime in October, I decided I wanted to open up my personal site again, Zassy.net a few days later my host fucked up. Zassy.net had become a redirecting domain to some Charisma Carpenter fansite, I tried contacting Fancube about it but no response, so I decided to say fuck you and find another host. I decided to finally get hosted by Dream Host I also had to find a new domain name, which I’m quite sad about, cause I love the name Zassy. But I came up with Fragile Secrets and it opened in December 2006!

December 2008 my hosting plan for Fragile Secrets expired and I couldn’t afford to renew it, so I decided to let it expire and buy a cheaper hosting plan in 2009. With the new possibility of the .me domains, I had a chance to get back the name zassy and ended up purchasing Zassy.me.
