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 not sure what I’ll end up doing with it; ideas are swirling…Update: This is my web design playground site for now as of Spring 2024.
  • Karen Caters was a web design practice site, and considering it for my sister’s business. She does her business mostly through Facebook and word-of-mouth, so I’m unsure about the future of this site.
  • 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 have two jobs and limited resources, so focusing on as many free tools as I can for now].

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
