Site: All About the Domain

Like Divinest Sense, this domain name was also inspired by an Emily Dickinson poem, which begins:

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without words
And never stops at all.

That is all very sweet, but I have never been much of an optimist, so I guess you could say I am hopeless. In other words, whatever's flitting around inside of me is not “the thing with feathers”.

This site is made with valid XHTML and CSS, with a generous dash of PHP and MySQL to make things extra sexy. I hand-code this site in Notepad, test it in various browsers (including Firefox, Opera, Netscape, IE, and Safari), and upload files with Filezilla. Everything is hosted by Blurstorm.

The current layout features Dr. Schadenfreude the Flying Guy, who has been a site symbol since the very first layout. In fact, so many people have referred to my site as "the site with the flying guy" that some people even started linking me that way.
