I have a long version of this page that I'm going to work on when I have more time, but for now, I'll give you the gist of what this site is and why I'm doing it. When NickAycock.com was originally created, it was a place for me to learn about making a website. I put some neat little information on it about different interests of mine, Disc Golf scores were placed on it so that everyone I played disc gold with could come and look at the scores for every game we played, and I ultimately had intended to make a blog somewhere on the site. I didn't really understand a blog, at least a personal one, for quite some time.
The Original NickAycock.com had few, if any, visitors and I was fine with that. Like I said...it was for me to learn and have fun with. But then, I got into that accident in August of 2010. Luckily, my friends Bob and Andi who had been helping me with the website knew the credentials to get onto the website and with both of them
having backgrounds in web design they transformed the website. As I lay in a coma in ICU in St. Louis University Hospital, my condition wavering between bad and worse, Bab and Andi turned NickAycock.com into a powerful tool to keep everyone up to date on my condition and status as they were notified and as they would monitor my family members' facebook pages.
Not everyone that I know has a facebook page and NickAycock.com gave them a place to come to stay updated on my status and later, my reciovery. In addition, it was extremely beneficial as a tool for fundraising and several other projects that my wonderful family and friends put in place.
Now, over a year later, NickAycock.com is still a place where my updates are given in length about my recovery. But now I am able to write them. I've also expanded the site to include a generic blog about my life as originally intended, a Tech Blog to write about my love of gadgets and technology, and it's still where my recovery blog is. On top of it all, the original purpose still remains and that is that this is a place for me to have fun on the internet and learn more and become better at building websites and doing graphic design.
So, I hope that you enjoy my little place on the internet. While it was originally created for me, it's always open to anyone who would like to come in and enjoy anything that I create or share.
