For sale: one slightly used web domain...
In 2001, I created a website called 'Mr. P's Geography Pages' which was hosted on the free TRIPOD service.
A few years later, I moved it to web hosts 123Connect and it became 'GeographyPages'.
At the time, other than David Rayner's GeoInteractive and David Robinson's site there were very few Geography-specific websites. This was in the days of Netscape Navigator and dial-up modems chirruping away...
The site had a few thousand visitors a year, but quickly grew to over a million visitors and well over that in terms of page views.
I had to double the bandwidth, and then again and again....
The website still gets hundreds of thousands of visitors a year, although I 'archived' it in 2008 when I joined the Geographical Association.
If anyone is interested, the domain name is for sale.... one slightly shop-soiled URL
(Not that I anticipate anyone will be for a moment....)
The site will be disappearing shortly, so grab your favourite bits while you can.
The end of an era...
And the start of another in a month's time....
