I built my first website years ago to learn how to do it.
\nI built the second one to help me with students when teaching.
\nAfter that I built a few more to learn new skills, and then started helping others build them, and used my own as an ongoing learning exercise.<\/p>\n
By now, the purpose of my own website is simply to record technical things I’ve learned, so that I remember them. It is mostly for me.
\nI make it available online so that in the extremely unlikely event that somebody somewhere is looking for an answer that I have found (and if they manage to find their way here) they can read what I have learned, and if it helps anyone, I am very gratified. But I am under no illusion that this will happen very often, and perhaps never.<\/p>\n
Initially I allowed public commenting. But I found that was a bad idea, as all the comments are from spammers and require looking at and removing. Then I tried allowing public registration, and that was a bad idea too, as I got registrations from spammers.<\/p>\n
If you are a real person, and would seriously like to comment on anything I would be very happy to provide you with login credentials so you can do so. Simply drop me a line at dee at thegraygeek dot com and say something cogent about what you have read here, and I’ll set it up for you. It doesn’t have to be smart. I don’t care if you agree with me, or if you are a novice or a genius. If you have something to say on topic I’m happy for you to do so. And if you use the credential to advertise I will simply remove your credentials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
