I just downloaded and installed Mozilla 1.2. So far, it has been very stable and it is working like a charm. I already installed the mouse gestures and tagzilla. I have not deciced on whether or not I am going to install multizilla, since I have had problems with it in the past.

Tonight, I will finally pay the bill I owe to my web host. I will be moving this site over to it, and will hopefully begin work on my website, which I have neglected for over 2 years. There is nothing up there now, so I will be starting fresh.

I never was very good at it. Some people said I was, and I had a site that attracted a few thousand visitors over its lifetime. I had a small stupid looking Star Wars related page, and for awhile, it was the first site that popped up when you did a search for "Star Wars" on Webcrawler. I have no idea how that happened. I also had one of the only anti-Prodigy sites on the web, so that attracted a lot of attention, and a few flames ;) This was back when Prodigy was a closed online service like AOL.

I ended up losing access to the site when the ISP I was with broke off from their parent company. I lost access to the site and the email, and the parent ISP would not give me access to them, even if I paid. I was never able to update that site, which still got visitors, and I was getting email from it, since I had put another address on there. It took about a year for the parent ISP to finally kill the site off, which made me happy. I was sick of people getting on my case about not updating the site, or that my info was wrong.

I used to have the html and graphics files from that site archived. I had them sitting on a zip disk. I looked at it over a year ago, and laughed before deleting it. It looked like shit and was filled with annoying animated .gif's. Most of the links were dead.
