A Proud Moment

As I’ve been moving my websites to Cirtex, I’ve discovered little pages and mini-sites that I’d forgotten about.

Two of them are Alan’s Macau Guide and Alan’s Hong Kong Guide. There are tiny little one pagers that I wrote back in 2001/2 and just forgot about, but I’ve discovered they are actually still getting hits daily. Today I even found that Alan’s Macau Guide is listed on this travel site, and has sporned a discussion on Gambling and Casinos in Macau. Amazing.

Searching around, I found that Alan’s Macau Guide is listed on this Investment site. They’ve stolen my images, which I’m not chuffed about, but they did link back.

It’s on CMOZ as well.

I almost deleted them. Now I’ve discovered they have a life of their own.

I love that about making internet sites - I love the way that a simple creation, a little bit of effort from me, can lead to so much more. It can even lead to things you wouldn’t imagine. Look at The Korean Blog List, it’s has become one of the major ways for foreigners living in Korea to find each other.

Those two guides are just little page - in some ways they are laughable - but I can’t help feeling a little proud that people are still finding them useful 7 years after I wrote them and forgot about them.

Of course now I know they are popular, I’ve adsensed them upto the hilt. Maybe one day I’ll get to cover my Korean Blog List hosting costs!
