good for your brain. No kidding. Maybe some of the content is doubtful, but the activity stimulates your brain cells. 
I fell in love with the Internet in 1995 when there really was nothing there to see. I was interested in doing a magazine and somehow distributing it through the computer, a pretty innovative concept back then. No one seemed to have an idea of how I might do it, then a young fellow took me to a trade show and I saw the Internet for the first time. They were broadcasting a soccer game from somewhere in the Far East.
That was an exciting moment! By the following year, I had launched my online gardening magazine, Atlanta Garden Connection. It actually did quite well, and at a time when you had to spell out the entire name of the site and wait patiently while the other person wrote it down, I had an average of 5000 unique visitors a month.
I got to know Walter Reeves through that effort and visited a lot of terrific small nurseries in the metro Atlanta area. AGC was so much fun and so rewarding, but my main income was coming from my permitting business. I had to choose.
I let AGC go, reluctantly. A year or so ago, I tried to revive it but by now the Internet is full of web sites about gardening.
The point of this post is that just because you try and don’t succeed, you shouldn’t be reluctant to try again. Every failure has its lessons. AGC got me so familiar with the web and how to create pages, that it has made it a lot easier for me to create this nice page and others.
It’s a great way to share with family and friends and a tremendous tool for business, even if all you do is maintain an online brochure for the ease of your clients.
And I certainly believe that it stretches your brain. I get very excited about the scope of knowledge at my fingertips on the web, don’t you?
