Ok, yeah, let’s just get it out into the open. I bought another domain. But I had to! I saw this wallpaper of Lindsay Lohan and it captured my imagination so I thought about building a site around it. Then later I was over on NamePros checking out the developed sites for sale. They are all crap, mostly just sites people have just built to sell and are doing so straight away.
Almost all of the celebrity sites on there are “less than a month old so assume no income or traffic,” that are just getting sold on for $30 or so. I don’t know why so many people bid on them, the biography is always copied straight off Wikipedia and a few generic photo pages complete what is they claim is a “developed site.” Why don’t people just bother to put a little time into the site? They could fetch a lot more for it if they did.
With that in mind, I’ve launched Simply Lindsay Lohan. It’s not integrated to the rest of my network like most of my sites are so it’s easy enough to sell if I want to later. Then again I was planning to sell City Ruins but by the time it came to selling it, I didn’t want to loose it :D.
It’s also given me chance to flex my design skills a bit as the entire theme which is a custom half built from scratch (I created the design as a static page first but then still used the default WordPress theme as a base and ported my new HTML into the files) and is completely done in CSS, not a table to be seen.
