Jasetaro.com is one year old today.<\/p>\n

I launched this site on March 17, 2008 mainly because I’d out grown the laughable 5MBs of free web space provided by my ISP. I toyed around with free services like GoeCities, MySpace, Facebook and Blogger for a while and I wasn’t crazy about any of them. So after a couple of days of careful consideration this web site was born… The past year has been a combination of fun and frustration and I’ve learned a couple of valuable lessons.<\/p>\n

1) Choose your web host carefully – when I launched this it was hosted by Yahoo Small Business Hosting… They were a disaster, in the roughly 4 months the site was hosted with then it was off-line 8 times because of server or database glitches. I moved the site to InMotion Hosting and, knock on wood, I haven’t had a problem since.<\/p>\n

2) I you build it they will come – spammers that is… Roughly 95 percent of the comments posted here are spam. It’s never ending battle to keep these pages and the forum free of spam.<\/p>\n

Anyway a little trivia, the majority of visitors come from the US, Canada, England and Australia. The top 5 stories of the past year were:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sarah Palin’s Private E-mail Account Hacked<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. More Anti Israel Hate<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Don Surber 52 Days, 52 Mistakes<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Wall Street Journal: Just Say No to Detroit<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Poll Question: Who Won The Vice Presidential Debate<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
