iPedro v4.0
At the beginning of the new millennium, the dawn of my introduction to the Internet, I was inspired one night to figure out how to put myself online.
At the time, few people (or perhaps nobody) I knew had their own website and I thought it would be an interesting outlet to have my own online presence.
On that July 2000 evening, I wrote:
Finally I got my own homepage! Believe it or not, in just one night (I spent all night - July 28 to 29) learning HTML language, writing my page, finding how to upload it, creating an account on Yahoo Geocities and finally uploading it. When I was done I opened the curtain and it was already day. Well, not too bad for a beginner. The site has information about myself, photos, some of my work, links to some of my favorite sites and regular newsletters
Six years have gone by and I now make a part of my living by designing websites for other people, artists, companies.
Somehow, I haven't been able to keep iPedro.com up to par with my skills. It's like the plumber's house who's pipes are leaky.
At its peak, my blog @ iPedro.com was being updated on a daily basis but somewhere down the road, I stopped having time for personal webdesign.
Tonight, I'm feeling Deja-vu...Earlier, I picked up a bunch of creative photos I had taken of myself and laid them out in Photoshop. Suddenly, I began seeing a new iPedro.com emerge before my eyes. I frantically worked on capturing this vision fearing that I'd lose the moment and leave this new website on the sidelines like I have before.
Well, it's not quite an all night project like on that fateful evening in 2000, but a few hours later, a new iPedro.com, a homepage that I can be proud of once again is now online.
I'll be adding improvements such as a more in-depth Profile and a feedback/guestbook system but the new iPedro.com is finally here.
