Yes, it's true: my babies have web sites

Categories: Pregnancy & Birth, Media, Gadgets & Tech

everett hanson dot comIt all started innocently enough. I bought everetthanson.com when my first son was almost one year old. I was doing research on acquiring domain names for my job, and it seemed like a good idea to practice all the mechanics of getting a web site together before I wrote FAQs on the subject.

Soon, I was addicted. I started my own blog, with my own website, and switched from my previous "lazy" use of Microsoft Publisher to full-on, hand-coded HTML. Then I decided I needed to teach myself CSS. Everett's web site got permalinks, archives, an RSS feed (I was working on product development for a news/feed reader). By the time Truman was born and my Blogging Baby colleagues bought me trumanhanson.com, I had a system going. His website was operational by the time he was 10 days old. Why? Partly, for work. Mostly, because I'm a ridiculous overachiever enthralled with her children's adorable-ness.

When I read Melissa Summer's post about kids getting their own domains, it was obvious that the practice was going to be heavily pooh-poohed by the Times. But even worse, the writer points out, is a child's own email address. Hooray! I thought. I'm vindicated. At least I haven't done that yet. I'm going to wait until they can read, silly.
