When I first found I could build pages on the Internet I started building them at free sites.
Fortune City was the first I found and I used that opportunity to write about myself, my life, both before and after my husband died.
These pages helped me grow and I shared them with my family and friends.
Eventually I got tired of the restrictions placed on my by the free sites. I had to allow ads on my pages.
The site was regulated by what's called 'band width' which restricted the amount of people that could visit a day.
And if I experienced problems publishing Fortune City always said it someone else's fault, usually mine,
and I'd spend literally hours trying to find the problem only to find Fortune City's had been 'down',
or redoing their site, or that their modems were bogged down and they were simply unable to handle the load of people uploading to their sites.
By the time I purchased my own dotcom I was dating, and experienced problems with men seeing so much of the site dedicated to my husband,
so I didn't transfer that part of my old site to this one.
I've published it here, today, because I am once again alone, and once again trying to survive grief.
