The Future Of Willow What I have been building and experimenting with over 30 websites since 2006 when I first started my career in the world of web. I have done websites that were complete junk and others that were as brilliant as I could muster. This is my 3rd time owning WillowWhat.com I enjoy pulling things from thin air and trying them out. What comes next from my tiny yet cozy cabin will shock and yet thrill this community. Willow has many good points and many bad points as any community in Alaska yet I have called this my home for 31 years and my how the time has gone by. We have everything you find in the big cities such as crime and hard drugs and those that use and those that sell. I really could name names but that is not for this story...just saying is all. My time on social media as a content creator has given me many insights and provoked my thoughts and creative juices. I have some changes to make that you the reader will not notice...Too many PNG files that need to be reconverted to JPEG....PNG files are massive so they use lots of computer resources and the website multi page preview takes 12 seconds to load....That is one example. Using You tube I have shot little mini commercials for the site and have gotten almost 18,000 views since April 2024 when I first published it and I dare say I have been happy with the results and fruits of the labor. Building websites is technical work as well as mind numbing madness but the end results are totally worth every minute of effort. I had considered an E- Commerce Platform on Willow What but I am only 1 person so that will not fly. Any small biz like that requires quite a bit of start up cash... If I do anything I will make certain it remains small and easy to manage myself and in theory as it grows so does my fledgling enterprise to the point i could take on a small staff. There is many oodles of coding that has to be written to have such a site...There are many markets the world over and new ideas are bristling all over the internet. Originality is being replaced by human engineered Artificial Intelligence and now people depend on A.I. to do the creativeness for them because they think its easier than doing it themselves. Anyone that has half a brain can see the writing on the wall and I do too. As Editor and Creator I refuse to go down that road because I would like to use the creativeness of my mind and be as original as possible....Relying upon myself and that makes me and others like me as extinct dinosaurs. All Hail A.I......Bleep. Peace, BigT
