In June 2006, I discovered an offer from my internet service provider to get a free .net domain name and link it to the personal web space included in my package. I jumped on that offer and I created the "krakowpat.net" domain name. From then, there was a brilliant Hello World! default page on it.
During summer 2006, I have also started to explore the world of blogging, also called the blogosphere. I remember that I have been particularly impressed by the Washington Post article A New Model For Getting Rich Online, which explains how people can now (comfortably) live only from the money generated by advertising on their blogs. In addition to that, I also remember that the reading of this article was close to when I have heard for the first time about the incredible story of a college student who earns $1,000,000 online in just a few months with a clever idea, The Million Dollar Homepage. In other words, I have realised that it would be possible to earn some (if not a lot of) money using the internet with a null money investment, a bit of time, and some luck in order to be at the right place at the right time.
Then, I have created my Google AdSense account, followed by dozen of blogs created using Blogger.com, with no sucess in making some money :-(
Finally, I have decided to create my own blogware, and this post you are currently reading has been published with it ;-)
