Geocities?  My apologies go out to everyone.  I am using it because it is free and the advertisements aren’t that shamelessly horrible and obtrusive.  You can turn them off if you are reading a long page.  I am using Geocities because I want a permanent place for my website that I don’t have to pay for.  Because it is free, in other words. 

 

Desert Solitaire is actually the title of a book by Edward Abbey.  At one time I believed the desert was horrible place and couldn’t understand why anyone would ever like it.  After reading his book I became desert enlightened.  Our arid regions are beautiful and I enjoy them immensely.  His book is also a great book on the environment and National Parks.  Reading it would do anyone good.

 

I used Microsoft Word for the most part, just because what I want to do is simple.  Word lacks any depth whatsoever as a web editor, but lucky my tastes are simple.  I chose to go with plane jane style.  Content over flash.  I read a great article on “Zen and the art of webpage design.”   The link is below and it is a good guide for any webpage development.

 

It is rare to see a webpage that is simple, loads quick and you know what the content and the quality of the content are in a matter of minutes.  I do have pictures on some webpages, but only ones that are meaningful and relevant in my head.  As for the true quality and content of this website, that’s for you to decide.  Please submit any comments to me jordanbbates@hotmail.com and I’ll post them here.

 

 

Any * (asterisks) will mean the link will take you off my webpage and onto someone else’s.  They should be rare.  You are here, I assume, to see my webpage and my stuff.  And thus, sending you somewhere else is not really a good idea.

 

Most pages are in font size 10, bookman old style font.

 

When I am finished, I will put up an Index here for easier navigation. 

 

FAQ’s  A bizzare question and answer page about me.

 

Sign Guestbook  I couldn’t help myself.  Hopefully it is a little funnier than normal.
