I'm wondering how much of this you actually got done on the day HAHAHA.

All I did today was mess around with my new tablet. I made this
You can actually just access my website by clicking on my signature, reeseriverson.com. Nothing special there except outdated. :lol:

Not much, other than a few fits of information I keyed in on Reese, and I can't honestly recall what else at the moment.

New tablet? That's awesome! Having some new goodies on hand is always fun!

Woah, that's actually really nifty! This makes me feel nostalgic for a time where being online meant visiting more than just the 4 big social media giants. I miss the unique internet age of self expression. Did you have to pay for the domain at all or can you just have it if it is unclaimed? The look of the site is really sleek.

And hey, even if you didn't finish it all in one day, I'm glad you started something!

The new tablet is honestly really awesome. I'll be working on some less jokey rayman pieces in the near future haha :hap:

Yeah I pay for the domain, which I have a couple of them on hand since it was during a time I thought I wanted to get into content creation, but quickly realize I'm just not into that sort of thing. Though maybe random blog posts couldn't hurt of my hobbies.

Yeah, that was my early CSS work on the site as well, I have ideas on something far more modern in terms of CSS3 code I want to pull off, I just need to sit down and get it done. The work I've helped put into Rayfanpedia had been a good point of inspiration as well.

What kind of tablet did you get, if I may ask?

How much do you pay for the domain, if you don't mind me asking? And what do you think the benefits of reworking the code could be? A better interface?

The tablet is a Huion Kamvas 16! It's very lovely.

For the domain itself is probably $12USD annually, plus $5 domain privacy stuff. This doesn't account for the hosting service itself though.

For the second question, the main thing is updating the style, and reworking the code from the old redundant code that kinda makes no sense anymore. Primarily in the early days of CSS3 you had to do a lot of browser specific CSS codes for getting background gradients done, but now with things more standard, it's so much simpler.

Oh nice, I have a couple of friends who use the Huion branded tablets and like them a lot!

Honestly I thought websites just for the domain rights would have costed a lot more! I guess it depends on how coveted the name is?

I'm glad to hear things are a whole lot easier with web designed than they were back then

OKAY HOLY SHIT WHILE I WAS TYPING THIS I FORGOT I HAD SAUSAGES ON THE STOVE AND I SMELLED BURNING FROM THE KITCHEN FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF- :ouin: :boon: :boon: :boon: :boon: :boon: :boon: :boon: :boon: :boon:

Well, maybe I should do an AMA on my 7 year old self’s food preferences

Also this is a bit of an off topic spiral, but judging from your post on the rating topic I assume you play dragon city? Maybe there could be a topic on it if any more people on this forum play it! :hap:

There are a couple of factors here, especially if the domain name is already owned, and someone selling a highly coveted name would charge a premium for the new ownership. After that, renewals should be normal prices. Those prices are primarily based on the TLD of your choosing, such as .com, .net, .gallery, .xyz, and etc. Some TLD's are more expensive to renew than others. If you're ever curious, just look up some domain registrars that will let you see how much one costs. :)

Well, I'd say you can think positive if you're trying to lose weight, because you're going to eat calories that are already burnt! :mrgreen:
