I've been with website host since 2007. They offered free domain for life as long as I paid between $12 to $14 a month for all eternity. It ranges because their promos only last for so long and then the price goes up. But nevertheless, even though their sitebuilder was terrible, they were reliable. My site was never down, and always easy to find.
But alas, someone recommended me to turn away from what was comfortable, for something "cheaper".
Unfortunately cheaper meant paying for 3 years upfront, plus all their service charges. Ouch. But even still, I thought it was better than paying nearly $15 bucks a month for YEARS.
And I've had free hosting before, still do. But it does go along with my username inserted into their domain name which isn't good either. And super limited.
So. Although I am still with the old site, I have an account with the new site of which I have been with for months but does not work well for me. The site builder is horrible and I currently do not own Frontpage, Dreamweaver etc.
I've opted to go with another host. Free hosting, but I pay for my domain once a year. I've heard good and bad from all, and have to take my chances. Supposedly the other 3 year site is going to refund my money. If so, then I will write a positive thing but I've read it's hard to get a refund from them, if not all together impossible.
I will get away from my month to month billing finally, even if the cost is being domain locked. Scary if I don't like them but it's hard to not like the idea of keeping my dot com while enjoying free services, even if the sitebuilder sucks...or doesn't. Don't know yet.
It's all in motion now, no turning back. I just have to wait for everything to process.
I can't wait to design a new site though, I'm excited.

My First Interview!!!!
I am so excited and proud!
On Friday I had the pleasure of meeting two very awesome gentlemen and youth pastors for a blog site: http://www.geekchurch.net.
Travelled to the state capitol with my dear friend Melissa McCommon, creator of the comics Carnation and Epic Chaos: http://scar23.deviantart.com to visit Empires Comics on Fulton St. Sacramento where we talked about our comics and being general geeks.
I was soooo nervous! I've been in front of the camera many times, both as a filmmaker and as a casual Cosplayer but never for an interview, let alone for one about something so near and dear to be as LoK. I was delighted to answer their questions about the details of my comic and they enjoyed the interview and comic so much, they have asked me to do another, more extensive interview about LoK in the future. I couldn't be happier!!!!
I will post details when they feature the interview on their podcast online, but until then keep a look out for it!
On another note- I am in the coloring stage for the cover of Issue One, and only two pages left to pencil before I start the lining and coloring stage of the interior pages. Issue Zero is still available for sale in my online store at http://www.spyderdust.com
I have about three copies left in stock, then I will need about 15 pre-orders before I can order another wave from the printers. Lucilia is also still available as well as Lucifer. It has been recommended for me to sell them as a super limited pair and I am highly considering it with the remaining copies.
I will be selling my art work at Sac CON: http://www.sacramentocomics.com/ December 11th, and Melissa will be attending the table for me since I am so pregnant. Commissions are closed, and will remain as such until Fanime 2012 but all other merchandise is available for purchase either online or in person. Looks like I will be lurking in the crowds at Anime Expo 2012, but not at a table as an artist. You'll have a keep a lookout for me or let me know if you are going so we can say hi.
Happy Holidays!!!!
That's all for now,
