So...
For 15+ years, I've had a corner of the web. Actually, I've been a squatter in my friend Merwolf's corner of the web. Every year I said, "self, time to buy your own real estate."
Well, not really. I don't talk to myself - at least not quite like that. The sentiment was accurate even if the conversation isn't. Somewhere along the line, I acquired my own domain, mostly to get a nifty email address that wasn't gmail, or one that managed to allow me precisely one less letter than needed to have my name as my handle.
My content though, stayed on my friend's server, covered by a redirect, protecting me from the need to follow through on redesign and upgrading the html from the early 90s into something more suitable for someone with a degree in maths and cs.
I've done loads for other people, but never quite summoned up the will to spend what scarce free-time I had messing with drupal instead of playing video games. It seemed too much like work.
Today that changes.
And guess what? I'm going to document what I did, what went wrong, how I made it go right and any thing else I deem relavent about the process.
Maybe it will help you - I expect it will definitely be useful for me.
Next post I'll take a look at what my ISP provided, what I need to acquire, and basic configuration.
