Dawn of the Geeks

One of the constant issues with a large web-site is maintaining it.  Many of my web-sites have a blog running in the background somewhere and a custom front end.  For Dawn of the Geeks I’ve decided to switch gears and run a full fledged blog.  There will be zero custom code for the front-end of Dawn of the Geeks.

Last year I picked up a few new domains and this year I will pick up one or two more and get rid of several.  I like to constantly try new things and sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t.  If a domain cannot earn the cost of the domain in one year (about $9) I get rid of it.

The other issue is maintaining links.  Since sites are coming and going and moving around it’s difficult to maintain a static page.  Now, all my sites will be listed off to the side and that list of sites will be available to any other web-site through a dynamically generated JS file.  This will keep my network of sites interlinked through a central blogroll without requiring that all my sites reside on the same server.

Hopefully the coming changes will result in a better Dawn of the Geeks.
