Jody was selected as an Athens Special Leader because of his support and kind demeanor doing diogenes_athens first site critique (and that wasn't easy!). He is one nice guy and deserves to be recognized.
DA:How long have you been in GeoCities?
I've had a homepage in GeoCities for more than two years now.
DA:What brought you to GeoCities? What is the thing you like the best?
I found GeoCities by accident. I was looking for information on HTML and stumbled accross it...and the rest is history! The best thing about GeoCities is the customer service...from the CLs on up the ladder! Geo is really more like a family than a company.
DA:How long have you been a leader?
I became a CL in July 1998...so it's been almost a year!
DA:What exactly is a leader? Can you describe your duties?
A CL is a volunteer who helps homesteaders make the most of their GeoCities experience. We have experts on just about every facet of web design you can imagine. We monitor the neighborhoods to uphold GeoCities guidelines for content. The CLs also maintain many community orientated websites, such as the "Best of Athens Team" that provides a site critique service and awards for the best sites in Athens. We're also an avenue available for folks to address problems or concerns GeoCities in general.
DA:What is the best thing about Athens?
Hands down...it's the people! I enjoy meeting people and making new friends.
DA:If you could give out one piece of advice to those interested in Athens,
what would it be?
Don't get discouraged! At first building a webpage can be a little overwhelming, but stick to your vision and make it a reality. Seek out the CLs when you need help!!
DA:What are you personal interests?
I'm an avid reader...I love the classics, but my passion is poetry.
DA:How would you like to be thought of: in Athens? in real life?
If I am remembered, I would like to be thought of as a man of integrity.
DA:What is your biggest contribution to the Athenian philosophy?
I'm no philosoher, but I do believe in free thought and expression within ethical guidelines and I believe my contribution lies in helping others find their voice on the web.
DA:Anything you would like to add about yourself that the readers may be
interested in?
Me? I don't think I'm a very interesting person. Let's talk about you! :-)
DA:I don't think I am that intersting either. Maybe some other time. Gotta run right now :\
