Dance Google, Dance!

Well, thank you Google!

I went from a zero page rank to a 4 today on this blog... and my website (which has been around forever) is still only a 3 (ok, Google, maybe you are bastards).

Unless you have a website, you could probably care less about what a page rank is. But for those of us who do, you know it's a very, very important thing that makes it easier for like-minded purrverts to find you! Purrhaps I could purrsuade some purrverts at Google, through subtle and not-so-subtle manipulation that a manipulation of my page rankings (to oh, at least a 9 - for my 9 Lives) would be in order...

The funniest thing is to look at the Way Back Machine http://www.archive.org/web/web.php to see what your website looked like years ago... how things have changed. Before I started katja-minx.com, I had many other smaller sites advertising my wares, usually just one-page things with a few pictures, but I was always really aware of design. I was definitely one of the first Dominas to use this new medium - this is back in the days of Mosaic (ok, I'm dating myself here), just when AOL was a brand-new thing, and you paid for slow internet access by the HOUR. With a 14.4 modem. Not that there was much to see...

I have never, ever paid anyone to make a site for me. I'm proud of that - teaching myself how to use the computer and then html and then photography - so that my vision comes across as purely as possible. And yes, I do all of my own web work, I take all of my own photos, do all of my own updates, style all of my own shoots...

Can you say Control Freak? I certainly can...
