My Other Sites

  • Ordered Confusion is where I started making a web development portfolio. It isn’t updated often.
  • I started a personal blog at Patricia Grace, but am considering a merge with this site. The new site will include the existing blog articles, along with info about events local to my area and an online store. Please pray for wisdom and direction with this effort! Thank you!
  • Karen Caters is a web design practice site, but does point to my sister’s actual catering business. She does her business mostly through Facebook and word-of-mouth.
  • Nerd Fiesta is where I blog about technology (formerly just a testing and tinkering site).
  • I’m using Punk’s Post as a practice site, too, these days, but it was actually a domain that was working for a living years ago when I had a home care business of the same name. This site was my first blog and domain name purchase. The name was a suggestion from my sister, referring to my childhood nickname of “Punkin’”. Because it was my first domain name purchase and self-hosted website, I am reluctant to let it go.
  • Another random practice site is Tridda House. This name came from a silly suggestion from my husband. It’s hosted at a different company from most of the others, so that I could get experience with different hosting control panels other than cPanel. [Update: I’m now moving most of my sites to this webhost. May not keep the domain name. Undecided].
  • When you use Dreamhost as your webhost, they give you some subdomains to use to try things out. My subdomain there is at https://nerd.dreamhosters.com/ I’m slowly moving away from Dreamhost. They’ve been ok but I need to consolidate and I’m spending too much on hosting while my sites aren’t generating income yet.

I keep some WordPress.com sites, too, since I still come across folks who need assistance with these types of sites that aren’t self-hosted; one site was completed with an Ed2Go course:

A course at Udemy.com from Gregg Davis came with a year’s worth of use of some web development sandbox sites. I created a couple sites to follow along with the course:

[Update – not following the course as there was a push towards paid services. I still recommend Gregg’s courses and services, but only after you have started generating an income from your sites or have more time to spend building a web design / web dev business. I’m focusing on as many free tools as I can for now. You can find one of Gregg’s courses here].

So, are you a budding web design student? Are you learning web programming? I’d love to see what you are working on. Contact me at https://www.facebook.com/gospelwine or, better yet, at my tech page located at https://www.facebook.com/orderedconfusion
