Default  When you first thought of your site...

When you first thought of your site, what was the first thing you did?

Wrote plans on a piece of paper? Got to work on the design? Started on content? Deliberated on a name?

First thing I did was buy the domain. I was a lil' hype about it thats why I rushed and bought it. Now that I have my design and domain, I need to sit down and concentrate on content. Ah, the joys of being a webmaster.

Not trying to be cold or anything but you shouldn't reply to topics that don't apply to you.

lets see.. i first bought the domain and immediately started looking for a good host. but before that, i wanted to create a name for my final fantasy site that wasnt like the rest, like u know, Final Fantasy blah blah, just like every other final fantasy site, so i thought of Black Mage Cafe, Black Mage Industries, RPG Chronicles, RPG Online, etc. But, the one i liked best was Black Mage Incoportated. Once i got my domain and the hosting, i worked on a layout and content. I wanted to have at least 3 gaming sections complete on launch day. so thats pretty much what i did

I first thought of a name for my site, I didn't want a name like Final Fantasy -word here- because tons of sites have names like that. So after a few weeks of deciding, I decided to use SpiraOnline. Then with a help of a really good friend of mine I bought the domain name spiraonline.com and a vBulletin Liscence. I setup the forums and customised them alot. Then I got down to making the site layout, and right now I'm finishing converting the content into the layout and changing it to PHP.

However, I've been a webmaster for some 4 years now.. and I know that the road ahead is never a smooth one.

that's a really nice piece of spam. Keep it up and you're gonna get in trouble.

    Well, when I bought one of the most rarest Final Fantasy domains ever, FFXII.com, I got it hosted. Then I immediatly debated on a theme. Bought a vB License and went to work. I don't know. It didn't last long. I use the skills that I've learned since then to work for a profit now and I'm quite good at it.

Well, first I got a host... which was geocities.com. Then I worked on a design and then the content. The content was roms and emulators and everythnig.. But then about 5 monthes later, I changed my site into a RPG site, which became a huge success
