New Boy In The Class

PreVert · 2003-10-24, 04:00 PM

Greetings one and all. Thought I might introduce myself, being new here and all, and bore you all to death with a short background

My handle is PreVert. It's unlikely you'll have heard the name. But I have just finished putting myself through a two year self-taught webmaster apprenticeship, deliberately not doing all those good things we all know work - talking to people, making friends, asking questions, etc.

The reasons? I made my own mistakes and have learned from them, and will hopefully be able to anticipate most others in the future. I've looked, listened and learned. Now I feel I know my own limits, those things that will work for me, and those that simply won't.

Ran a Linksite [now closed], a TGP site [closes in November], had galleries or sites posted on everyone from The Hun to Richard to Danger Dave, and still run a "Toy Store". All part-time. Have watched all the big hitter sites and boards, and know a good deal about most of the big webmasters and how they operate their sites. Spent a few, made a few [very few] bucks.

Now I'm going full-time. It's time to talk to people, make friends and ask questions. And as far as I'm concerned this is certainly the best board site to make a start. There is a great deal of knowledge and experience loitering amongst these pages. The "New Site" is almost ready to launch [watch the Link Trade board], and it's going to be successful because I intend to use that knowledge and experience to supplement my own [which is still limited]

Anyway. If anyone has got this far, should just say I'm certainly look forward to threading with you in due course, and even striking up a few friendships along the way

PreVert,

Welcome to the board and good luck on your attempt at doing this full time. Plenty of experience to pull from here...so ask away and I am sure you will get great info when you need it :-)

Lannyson · 2003-10-28, 02:47 AM

It appears that histories are very similar. I won't bore you with all the details, but I will admit that I've made many of the same mistakes and I am looking to learn from anyone who is willing to offer and share their advice.

Knowing that I'm as green as they come, I would prefer not to waste space on the board with what vast amount that I don't know. I would, however, like to follow the threads that you form, hear more about your sight and share what information that I come across during these next few months. On the flip side, perhaps you would consider sharing with me what you uncover in the future.

Make it happen,

Hi Lannyson,

Hope we can all learn a lot. It's why I joined the board. Welcome

Thank You PreVert,

Agreed! And I look forward to learning more from those that seem to have a handle on this aspect of the web.
