Do you have a personal website?

i recently created a website for myself and i was lucky to get my first and last name as the domain name.

if you want, go through web.com, and the people there will help you set everything up and give you templates to get the website going. it costs me 10 bucks a month on the credit card and is so great to direct people to instead of throwing together clips packages for everything.

Bookmarked. Thanks, but should I be concerned that no linked paper is from my neck of the woods?

Nope. I limited the newspaper links to markets with pro teams.
Utah Jazz aren't pro?

I could make a crack there, but the truth is, I'm adding 10 more papers this weekend and you'll be covered. I aim to please.

I knew the set up was there waiting to be hit out of the park. ;) But I noticed a couple of the NHL markets ommitted, too.
 
myname.com is already taken. Could I use myname.net? I don't know the protocol of these things.

That's exactly what I did for my last two job searches. It's a hell of a lot easier to just email a cover letter with a link to Smokey33.com than it is to copy, print, package and mail stuff.

And you can get your clips to the hiring editor before those mailing stuff in can.

Yeah, you can do that. I have a pretty common name so I had to do my-name.net. It's still easy and it'll still get you there.

Yes. A friend runs it because I have no idea how to do that shit.

Same here.
People you need as friends:
Doctor/dentist, lawyer, mechanic, techie.
In that order.
Wouldn't the list be: Supermodel, hot nba team dance girls, hot lonely wife of philandering pro athlete?
 
That's why a friend of mine does the techie work for my site, too. I am not a web kind of guy. My site: www.illinoisreporter.com

It is not just sports clips, but news clips too, since I freelance. But if you reply, use the email address I use for sportsjournalists.com

The addy on the site is problematic.

As of yesterday, I have a BLOG! which is independent of anything I do at work. Just something I thought would be fun.
