So, how did this happen? Well, I stumbled onto the net in 1998, just as Highlander was ending. To be honest, I was bored out of my mind one day while my friend was checking his email at the library, so I decided to do a search and see if there were any websites out there devoted to my favorite show. Those first few sites I found turned me into an addict... I wanted to see everything that was out there. Of course, being new to the Highlander fandom and the internet in general, I was completely clueless about several things. What were all these clans? Where could I find fanfic? Where had I seen Joe Dawson before? Of course, there were the usual lists of links, but I found it hard to find what I was looking for without spending the entire night clicking on each one. It wasn't that I had a problem with visiting all these sites (Otherwise I wouldn't spend hours doing just that), I just wanted one site that could act like a 'front door' to the rest of the Highlander sites out there. After a few months of being obsessed with Highlander I decided to combine my highlander obsession with the other love of my life, design, and create a website. At first I knew nothing about html and I used the geocities idiot editor. That lasted about as long as I could stand not being able to put things where I wanted them, so I picked up a big fat book-o-html and learned what I needed. Before long I had a nifty little site with some poetry, bedding advice, a picture of my cats and a links page. Little did I know.... I don't know when the links got out of hand, but they used to be on one page. I just happened to categorize them instead of having one big list. Anyway, to make an already long story a little bit shorter, the site grew from one page to three to nine to thirteen. Most recently I've given it a new look and moved it away from Geocities (which won't let me in without making me get a new password each time). I've added some stuff, such as this page (Yeah.. I like to ramble, but you choose to read it) and an FAQ. I really want to work on making this page better and easier to use for everyone, so suggestions are always welcome. And now for the new stuff:
