Havasu Magazine adds a blog
It’s been almost 9 years since I started the Havasu Magazine website.
Although my roots are in Lake Havasu (my family moved here in 1968 when I was
13 years old), my husband and I lived for a time in Wrightwood, California.
There I published a monthly community magazine, and an annual, full color
magazine. So, when I moved back to Havasu, and was finally able to get the
internet (when we moved from Wrightwood, local internet connection had not yet
made it to the mountain community), it was only natural for me to make the move
to an online publication.
In the beginning we published at one of those free hosting sites, which were so
popular in the 90’s. Any wannabe webmaster could throw up a site, using
the simple online web builder the host offered. We graduated to a hosting
site, where we had to create our own webpages, via a funky little web software
program I had purchased. Back then it cost $100 a month to host our site.
Eventually we began creating Havasu Magazine using Microsoft ‘s
FrontPage. After a few years I began getting harassed for using the
dreaded FrontPage. After all, I couldn’t be a real webmaster if I was
using FrontPage. And to be fair, there were some standard and compliance
issues with the program. So, I decided to catch up with the times, and
switched to Microsoft’s new Expression Web.
Once again I am trying to “catch up” with the times, which is why I finally
decided to add a blog to the Havasu Magazine site. So here it is!
I wonder what exciting and titillating Havasu inspired blog material I will be
publishing in the coming days? Come back….and see!
