I can't say I'd do anything different, since I am still in the begining stages. Since 1997 I found the internet extremely useful in that I could view nasa pictures, go to a company's web site and find information about repairing a product they sell or just finding a 1 800 number that would be helpful (for free). Back then you could browse for hours and never be asked for a credit card number. I thought content was most important and I realized I could chase the key word wild goose for days but I would've had to make a special web page for each search engine submittion. Also I thought that if I had enough traffic I would have advertisers pay me for the "honor" of advertising on my site but now thanks to browser and page redirection malware I don't want anything to do with that. I guess my biggest problem is a lack of greed. I saw the dot com debacle come and go and I've been studying the trends for a decade now and I feel no remorse for not having done more at this point. I will get off the ground and it will be on my terms. I am in the process of applying for a government grant to help pay for the publishing of archival photos because I don't feel it is right to charge people for educational historical heritage information. I am not a leftist non-profit weirdo I just am one of those people who has no business sense or in other words I do the work, create things etc. I would like to have money, unfortunately I am a good worker and can produce results but I live in the U.S.A. which means I make other people rich...All I want is to be exploited well
