Sebbie on the Webbie

Archive for the ‘My Projects’ Category

On Sebastyne.net, I’ve been blogging about this and that for the longest time. As I love the net (see the photo, hehe), the Internet has become a topic over and over, so I thought I probably should start a blog just about the net and leave My Dear Hard Drive for more philosophical stuff.

I used Sebastyne.com as my bridal design company blog for the last year, but since I decided I didn’t have the drive required to run a bridal company, I took the otherwise good domain for this use. Granted, it’s going to hurt my page ranks and stuff quite a lot since this new blog has nothing to do with bridal wear, but as always, I choose to do things the hard way…

So all 2 of you who have been following me for the bridal wear; it’s time to unfollow and unsubscribe – this is going to get geeky instead!

I’m very excited to announce to you that my long harbored dream of owning my own dating site is coming to reality. I recently “shook hands” with a New York coder to start working on this project.

Not another dating site?!
I know you’re thinking that, and I agree. Dating world is very competitive, and there are some good sites and bad sites out there. Who knows how many is started each day, only to fail a couple of months later. Why should I be any different?

I have been planning a dating site for a long time, not basing it on the vast majority of dating sites, which generally make me want to vomit… I am not after a quick buck, but I want to make a site that will actually work as intended, bring people together and weed out the fake profiles and spammers.

With this plan in mind I have started a new blog about online dating and relationships called Intimate Onions. I hope to see you there, too, and if you are in a relationship, help me on those tips by commenting!

I’ve been thinking about redesigning the site for ages now, and I finally got around to picking and tweaking a new theme. There are still things all over the place, but I’ll have to do some real work now… I could easily spend the rest of the day fixing little details, but have to move on. *Convincing herself to leave it alone*.

I hope you all like it!

I was looking for an online community for people who don’t want to have children. This was because I generally feel a bit… Well out of my place surrounded with women of my age who are either having children or desperately trying to have children. I search through blogging sites and come across 10 blogs by blogging moms who rule.

I don’t hate kids or anything, just that since I don’t have one, I have none in my near family and my closest experience of kids is having been one, I really don’t feel that connection with moms – unless we have something else to talk about of course. But often, kids take so much of your time that you just can’t focus on anything else, and in all reality, why would you want to?

So I went looking for those communities and was surprised not to find any other than No Kidding, which didn’t seem to have a working online community and was really full on about the no kids stuff. I don’t want to talk about “childfree issues” I just want to talk to people who’s lives aren’t wrapped around a 1 inch little finger.

I’ve never really taken the time to look for blogs that I would anxiously return to on a daily basis or even weekly. A friend of mine once asked me that what on earth am I doing online with all the time I spend on it, but I can tell you, reading blogs is not one of my biggest pastimes. I do come across nice blogs every now and then, but rarely find them that interesting that I would want to return over and over again. I would like to though. And I have a couple on my list – some day I’ll tell you where.

I’d like you to share your favourite blogs with all of us, something that is:

If you do, please point them to my direction! I just started a discussion board on my Barbie Collectors forum in English, as more and more people are visiting from US, EU as well as Australia, and there’s nothing for the poor buggers to do there (apart from uploading their photos to the biggest Barbie photo gallery online, but they wouldn’t as things have been). Now there is a discussion group! I don’t know if it’ll take off, but I certainly honestly hope so!

Here’s the link to the board.
