New Beginnings
This Blog is a little basic at the moment as it's New. It's just a little information about myself.
Between 1998 and 2008 I had my own website known as Pamelas Palace. It started off at Geocities and gradually moved to a new domain. It started as a few personal pages about me and my journey after having a guest page on a friends website. I taught myself HTML 3.2 in a month which was the version of HTML at the time. But I wrote and coded it all myself and tested it on a range of browsers to ensure that all visitors had a good experience. At the time, the World Wide Web had only about twenty million users in the whole world instead of the billions of users now, so I wanted to make it special. Many people who had websites at the time called it something like xxxx homepage. I decided to be different so I created Pamelas Palace.
I was around before many big companies had their own websites and in an attempt to drag people into the internet age I also ran several other websites. These included the first website of the Northern Actors Centre who had split from the London Actors centre in the mid 1990s. I also offered to do a website for PADOS but their webmaster at the time was quite possessive so it didn't last long. It was too much trouble. Finally, I did the first website for Mermaids, a charity for Children and adolescents with Gender Identity Issues and those involved in their care.
The website developed into many sections offering support and advice and general infotainment. Don't bother with any of the links because that archived page doesn't have any linked pages. Some internal links seem to work Here from a few months later.
In 2008, several years after the main part of my journey had been completed, I finally closed my website when the homepage reached a million visitors. Pamelas Palace homepage can be seen a year or two before it ended. At the same time, I passed over the Baton to one of the youngsters from Mermaids, and this is a link to their current website. And I did have one other site briefly. I published the first part of my life story. If you want to take a look it's here at Rebirth. I don't know how many of the 31 chapters are archived so it's pot luck.
The reason for this new blog is for campaigning for trans-rights, especially for young transpeople, who seem to be having a hard time in the media and need a little support from some of us who have been there and done that.
Watch this space and I'll try to improve the design soon, when I have a bit of time to spare.
