celebratoryTopic: Comic Book History
Today, May 12th 2008 Is My 10th Year Anniversary On The Web! And whew... man do I feel it! LOL! Nah, just kidding! But, seriously, it has been 10 years since I built my first web page. I learned how to do it from my oldest son, who had just learned at school! So what was my very first web page about? At the time I was publishing my 'Family Genealogy Newsletter', so I designed and promoted a webpage to support that endeavor! Not too much later, I realized I could translate my love of comics to a web page to supplement the comic book catalogue I was publishing. That early experiment led to a full blown comic book domain web site which is still online. I found eBay and joined up on January 20, 1999! Eager to learn more, I took Webmaster courses. I built a web site for my Dad's Whirlibirds craft business, which led to the opportunity to design websites for other crafters! Websites for companies soon followed that, but then an explosion in newly graduated 'webmasters' domestically and web designers outsourced to India overloaded the supply of webmasters. LOL! Since then, Tina and I married, and between the two of us, we have several projects on the WWW, including this Blog on eBay, our non eBay Blog, a Book Promotion site, an eBay Featured Store, a comic book web site, and more! Let me tell you the first 10 years have been exciting! And here's to the next 10! I want to thank all of those that got me started on this adventure, which in turn allows me to work anywhere my laptop can get a signal!
For those of you that are new to our blog, we have an ongoing comics and pop culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale! Thanks for reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post and come back again! Michael D Hamersky
"Hammering Out the Web |
 The first web pages I built on the WWW were to publicize my Family Newsletter which I was then publishing on a Brother Word Processor... a sample copy's cover is shown above!  Soon I started publishing web pages on my other hobby, comic books! Pictured above is me filling in for 'The Thing' at a Comic Con in the mid 1990's with the other members of the Fantastic Four on a 'hot' trading card! Non-sports trading cards were the rage ten years ago!
