1998: starting to build websites

From 1998 I have been making websites. At that time everybody was offered to make their own websites for free like on AOL, Yahoo, Netscape, Geocities and many many more

Around 2010: when the web was changing quickly

All that free stuff online like free websites, free tools for webdevelopers, free thisses and thats started to fade away and taken over by mostly commercial websites. You can still do a Google-search for "free whatevers" but the search results mostly start with sponsored advertisements and the links below that are mostly misleading: you think you're going to a website with the "Top 10 free whatevers" but you'll soon find out that they are not free at all like "free to try" (and then you can only keep it after paying) and like "free demoversion" (where a lot of functionalities do not work and where they try to sell you the full version)".
The people that publish those "Top whatever websites" linking to these not really free whatevers, often get payed by these comnpanies behind those links using affiliate-accounts. And ofcourse: the companies that pay the most are always on top, so say goodbye to objectivity and honesty.

Not me: I do not go with this commercial flow

I still feel that the WWW should be for everybody, young and old, poor and rich, blue, green, yellow, pink, dark etc. no matter where you come from: same rights and same possibilities and opportunities for every living human being on our planet.

But that time has past forgood: if you are able and willing to pay a lot of money, you will have better chances, more opportunities and you will be able to compete and win and earn even more money online: there is no equality on the WWW anymore, it has become an arena of gladiators competing for their lifes and the slow ones and poorer ones amongst us can not compete anymore, just because they were born in a not so very rich place or family: money rules.

So whatever you find on my websites is totally free and no strings attached and no hidden agendas: what you see is what you get.

How do I feel about offering ways of contact and interactivity?

Here comes the tricky part of making websites: offering interactivity like a contactform, a blog, a messaging system or anything like that always imposes risks of hacking, spamming, phishing and all kinds of malicious content. As a websitedesigner / publisher a lot of your time will be consumed only because of this and because I just love making websites I want to do just that and not spend too much time on this interactivity-thing: I do not rely financially in any way of my websites and I do not have to make a profit: I just want to do what I like best.

And for this reason I choose to make use of external ways of interactivity like my blog on Blogger and whatever more ways I offer on my contactpage.

New website online! (and more)

Take me straight to the webpage! Hard work It was a lot of work re-designing my websites, but finally it´s done and online Website-architecture All the websites now have the same architecture, this means that whenever I need to make changes in the future again, it will be a piece of cake. Social-media section Yesterday, the 7th. of august 2023, I installed OSSN-social media application and added the facebook-theme to it. This theme looks exactly like facebook did in the old days, before they started adding all kinds of things that nobody asks for and that make facebook a labyrinth in which nobody can find anything anymore. I think it's awesome: finally we can have social contact again like it's supposed to be: for the users instead of the owners(´ bankaccounts). No selling personal data, no unclear rules, no censoring, no crap that nobody wants in the first place, just a safe and happy social environment .

Hello people: friends, family and the world!

I have started this blog to write about my main hobby: webpage-design with which I communicate about all my other hobby's. So I make websites about my hobby's and I make websites about my life and that's how I express myself online. I feel that webdesign is a type of art and that my websites are pieces of art about the things that I like. So why do I have a blog on blogspot and not on my own domain exdomo.com if making websites is such a hobby of me? The answer is pretty simple, just as simple as it is to have a blog on blogspot: I want to invest my time on creating pieces of webart and I need enough webspace for that. Running a blog on my own domain will take up quite some diskspace because of the database that needs to be connected with it and because I do not have much financial resources I want to spend my money well and that is making websites. Next to that: I have accounts on several Social Media like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Quora and some more, but they all do n

Goodbye to Fb

Out of control Hacked accounts, scammers, trolls, lack of communication, unclear community rules, dozens of glitches and almost daily new changes that nobody knows of: Facebook has become a misty swamp filled with predators and mosquitos I am getting out of it before I get lost in this labyrinth run by greedy false prophets. The beast from the earth Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. And that's it, the worshipping of the beast, but it's time has come, greed is not sustainable but selfdestructive and this beast has entered the final phase. Back to basics A lovely wife, a beautiful farm, the serenity of mother earth around us: those are the basic ingedients of happiness I am not going to participate in this worshipping of the beast anymore, as soon as my account gets restored, I am deleting it
