Jay's Homepage FAQs/About
This page was created to begin my obedience to the Great Commission, to share the joy I have in my salvation thanks to Jesus Christ, God's love with my peers by helping with some useful information, an ear to listen, a community to help figure things out or whatever I can do to help. I must have a few rules to this page as it will be a safe place on the internet.
- Who is this built for: My main target is to reach out to my peers in the disabled community but that does NOT exclude anyone that finds interest in this page or its contents and wishes to be a part of this little corner of the net.
- What was it built for: For the purpose of sharing stories, connecting people, building friendships and providing a friendly place where people can share their opinions and receive encouragement.
- Where is it located: It is hosted by BlackSun in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
- When was it created: I first transfered this site from a free Angelfire.com site in September of 2005 and began the original index shortly after I acquired a minor education in Adobe Photoshp CS2. The second version of this site, and the one that has seen greater success, was started being created on December 1, 2004. After realizing that "frames" designs and fancy effects were not the best courses of action I acquired an education in CSS and in actual coding as opposed to letting MS FrontPage do all the work.
- Why was it created: This site was created after our church participated in the 40 Days of Purpose Campaign, to discover our purpose in life, and I felt convicted of the need for me to be far more generous in showing care and concern for others. That I needed to stop thinking only of myself and those closest to me. Yes, they will take priority but if holding this site as a place for people to connect, and a place that I can share the joy I have in my relationship with God and the Good News of Jesus Christ and if I help only one person through a difficult time, or help them to find the joy in the free gift offered to us then this site and my effort has been fruitful.
- What's with all the colour? Well, not everyone agrees with me, but I most definitely find dark backgrounds with lighter, higher contrast writing much easier on the eyes.
This page will contain absolutely no vulgarity or inappropriate material. All comments, contributions and input are welcome and will be read, but nothing vulgar or inappropriate will be posted so if you choose to send something of that nature expect it to be returned for editing if you want it posted. I want people to be able to share on this page, but it will be a safe place on the web. This includes comments on my blog so please watch the content on there. Almost anything can be said in a vulgar immature way or in a respectful mature way. Please choose the latter.
Other than those few details and questions please feel free to contact me, contribute and enjoy the site. There should be few concerns about privacy as I will only post your first name and possibly last initial for contributions and if you request I won't even post that. I just want to give credit where it is due.
Finally, you can find the first proper index I made that uses frames here and the second index that was made with Photoshop CS2 here.
