The Limitations of a Blog
It should have been apparent to me earlier that a blog has some limitations that a regular website doesn't.
- Because each new blog message appears right at the beginning of the site, anything really important that you posted earlier gets pushed further back.
- The address: http://therainbowman.blogspot.com is difficult to remember/find/put on a banner, etc.
These are important to me because:
- People need to know right away that the website is about Rollen Stewart, the Rainbow Man, who they probably remember from years ago.
- An address like http://therainbowman.blogspot.com generates fewer visitors, which I need both to learn of Rollen's attempts to start up his campaign and to donate toward that campaign.
- An address like http://therainbowman.blogspot.com is hard to put on a banner which Rollen would like to have displayed at events. A banner would help, obviously, with informing people of the above two points.
I need a regular website, one that is short and easy to remember. Until I get one, please continue scrolling down this website to get more of the story.
