NEW WEBSITE
In the last couple months, the traffic on my website,
FunnyPhotoContest.com, and the number of contestants has dropped about
50%. Of course, I’m discouraged and
wonder if after 6 years, my site has run it’s course and the time has come to
shut it down. I don’t want to end my website as I’ve greatly enjoyed running
the site and it has kept me very busy.
In addition, I worry about how I will fill my time once my
website goes away. Luckily, yesterday I
received a surprising and actually inspiring email from a classmate. Since 1992, Chuck R. has operated a website
for our high school classmates -- The West High School Class of 1958. But a few months ago, he closed down the
site. It was a great site and it was a
shame he ended it. So yesterday, when I
received an email from Chuck, I was delighted to see he sent an e-newsletter to
me and all of my classmates. Plus, he
mentioned he would be sending the e-newsletters about every six-eight weeks.
Eureka!!!! What a great idea. Instead of my FunnyPhotosContest.com website, I can create an
e-newsletters for my relatives. I have
100’s of cousins whom I don’t even know.
What a wonderful way to connect to them and get to know one another.
