You can get a discount on a domain through GoDaddy any number of
sites.  Watch the geekbrief podcast they have three different
discounts.   http://geekbriefwp.podshow.com/sponsorship-information

I'm sure if you look around you might find a better one but there are
plenty of discounts out there.

Oh, I don't know; probably just seemed more difficult to construct a website 
(more so than the only other site I've created, which was on a network and 
probably more user friendly in some ways).  Also, don't see a way to blog or 
to host the forums they mention.  Thought these might be like message 
boards, like I was able to set up on this other one, which can't be used for 
some of the purposes I want as it has a specific purpose.


If I had a kid, I would have left them fool with all of this while I got

Not that I know of.  It was $15 a year which is pretty standard.

Rates went up this year.  (We reupped before the increase.)

Part of the benefit of registering with them is you get web space.

like computers and printing cards or creating websites is not 
generally a desirable thing to be, when it comes to becoming the 
world's most consequential person, being green doesn't seem to 
be all that bad a thing; maybe even a good thing, actually, by 
some accounts.  But, of course, green or not, anyone wanting to 
seriously play the Presidential game sure needs a lot of the green 
stuff.  Agreed?


 There will be, as they say, a second chance tomorrow - so long 
as I don't repeat the whole thing tonight, toiling into the wee 
hours again, trying to print cards that line up right, figure out 
how to do this or that in setting up a website, figuring out what 
happened to GoDaddy's wonderful-sounding promises of free blogging, etc.


So going to have to do the hardest thing of all related to 
computers (at least for me) - turn the damn thing off and keep it 
off at some reasonable hour!! :)  Why, oh why, can't someone 
invent a timed lock

The deal I got from GoDaddy is webhosting (though just got it for one 
month, to see) with ability to have unlimited websites (which I find 
appealing, as have several, very different types of websites and audiences 
in mind, though I noticed that you still have the same total disk space, 
if that will end up mattering) for only about $7.  Plus, this includes 
getting one domain name for $2 instead of the usual $7or so.  Plus think 
its supposed to include blogging capability.


BTW, are you or any of your colleagues that you know of getting into 
things like internet radio or podcasting?  Reminded of this because 
GoDaddy offers some of this as well.  You know, virtual sermons or 
services or stuff like that.  Wonder if any preaching or praying going on 
in Second Life - could be the next frontier for religious expansion - 
virtual religion. :)

Not that I know of.  It was $15 a year which is pretty standard.

Rates went up this year.  (We reupped before the increase.)

Part of the benefit of registering with them is you get web space.
