Welcome to Webmasters Unplugged! So, you've been to all the top websites, huh? Well, have you ever wondered what the Webmaster(s) was like? Or what inspired them to make that great site? Well, most Webmasters/Mistresses love positive feedback. So feel free to e-mail 'em!
But, some of you are too shy to write and ask questions, but you may still be curious about the people behind those kickin' sites. So, Webmasters unplugged will bring you some of the best PR webmasters around, kicked back and ready to discuss all sorts of things.
We've got tons of great Webmasters here, wating to talk. So, let's get interviewing!
Who do we have this time? Why it's none other than one of the coolest Webmaster's ever, Krissy! *cheers* Hehe. But really, She has many Sites which include shrines to Danny Slavin and CKL, Her site for an IRC channel, and her own Fanfiction page! And that doesn't include the sites she hosts for other Webmasters! She's one busy person!
Ready to meet her? Okay, heeeere's....
When did you first discover PR?
When did I find PR or do you mean when I became obsessed? Obsessed would be season two almost start of Ninja era. I saw miscl. PR eps before that but I just passed it along...I wasn't much of a fan at beginning.
What inspired you to build a PR website?
I don't know...I guess it was when I saw all these websites out there about them but at the time I couldn't find what I wanted. So I thought, why not make my own? So I taught myself basic HTML from the help of Tripod's basic editor and voila..Heres what I know now with many computer classes in my schedule now. :)
If you could be a ranger, which one would you be? Why?
I don't know...I like myself pretty much how I am now so I don't think I'd want to be a ranger teen but ranger wise Pink Ranger. She's always so spunky and fun to be around. That's who I hope I am and what people think of me.
Who would be on your "dream team"?
Dream team? This question has been asked to me before...But probably I'd want Zhane as Silver, Tommy as Red, Carlos in green, Kim as Pink, Kat in Yellow and Rocky in Blue.
What keeps you interested in your site?
Which one? Well, what keeps me interested in my CKL site is I know he's seen it and appreciates it...But really what keeps me interested is that I love HTML. It's going to be what I do later in life professionally. It just gives me practice in what I love with the show I love. :)
What's your favorite PR genre? Why?
Probably PR Ninja and Space. I love Zhane and Andros and Rocky and Tommy...Lost Galaxy is becoming a favorite though I havent had a chance to be as caught up in it with the others.
Do you have any other webpages?
Not really...Except my Spice Girls webpage and my JC Chasez site under construction.
What advice can you give to someone who wants to create a PR site?
Make sure it's what you want to do. HTML takes a lot of pateince and practice. But it's a blast once you get the hang of it and never give up when you want to accomplish something.
What, in your opinion, makes for a good site vs. an okay, or bad one?
A good site? One that you put all your love and skills into it. If you're proud of it, then that's all that matters and then its a good webpage. The only thing I think of a bad webpage is one that isn't even worth seeing. It maybe has one pic or link that works and is never updated. It's different when you're brand new to this field and there ARE different amout of skills...but when you don't even try its not worth the time.
What's your fave part about making your site?
The best thing I think is when you hear that it's actually appreciated and that someone actually took their time to see it. That's the best feeling to me, knowing someone actually had fun or learned something.
How long have you been making sites?
Let's see....I came to the Net 3 years ago...Making that '96 and I started to teach myself HTML around that time..So about two and a half years.
Do you have any other hobbies?
Writing and reading. And HTML. That's basically all I do. Although I'm going to be getting to travel this summer to see some online friends...so maybe that will become hobby too. :)
How do you stay sane constantly updating and meeting the demands of visitors?
Like I stated above, I don't do much else so I update when ever I think of something I want to do. Frequent visitors know I just redid both the CKL and Danny Slavin sites so I'm always doing something.
In MMPR:TM, the rangers have animal spirits. What do you think yours would be, and why?
Oh wow...I honestly don't know. My favorite animal is whale and dolphin..Maybe one of those because they're so pretty and so graceful...Something I've always wished I was.
What's your favorite site, besides yours? :)
I pick mine apart way too much to have mine be a favorite...But Brent's Absolute Melody has to be one of my favorites. Great HTML and designs besides that Melody Perkins is one of my favorite actresses on PR.
What's your fave movie?
I have a couple... "Empire Strikes Back" and "The Phantom Menace," of the Star Wars types...I love those story lines. They're just so exciting and fun to watch. "Titanic" and "Ever After" are my other two favorite movies. I guess you could call me a sap at heart. :)
What's the coolest experience of your life?
Well, I have two really...One was when I was 9th grade I was chosen to be one of the four princesses for a fair in my hometown. It was so much fun and I learned a lot about myself then. The second was when I found IRC. I made some of the best friends there. I will never forget them.
Scariest?
I haven't really had a scary moment. I was hacked once but that was more anger then being scary.
Person you respect most?
My mom...She's raised me for the last 17 years and knowing me, I *know* that was a hard task. I trust her the most of everyone in the world.
What do you look for in a friend?
I don't know. I guess someone I know I can trust, who will be there for me when I *do* need help.
What's the thing you hate most about being a website owner/maker?
Nothing! I love HTML. It's what I do.
What's your favorite joke?
I absolutly have NO clue.
What "big thing" do you want to accomplish?
To make my own website design company. That's the one thing I most want to do.
What music do you like?
Anyone who knows me knows that it's country but I prefer pop music now. I love the beat in some of that music. Groups that are the most listened by me is Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys, N Sync...Bryan White and Garth Brooks are my favorite country artists.
What's your favorite song?
"Crush" by Jennifer Paige is my absolute favorite. There's a number of others too. Like Spice Girls' "Say You'll Be There," "The Lady is a Vamp" (Which has been nicknamed as my theme song), and "Goodbye." I love BSB's songs..I really dont have a fav of those cuz I love them all.
How would you describe yourself?
Nice to everyone unless you give me a reason otherwise to dislike you. Some say I'm sweet but I don't know.
If you won the lottery today, what would you do with the money?
hmm...you know I just answered basically this same question today for english...I'd probably put it away and start mydesign company when I'm ready and put some to the dream college I want(UCLA) and then give some to people who need it more then me.
Do you have a motto?
Not really...I always believe though that if you do you're best that's all
that matters.
That's Krissy everyone! Hope you enjoyed the interview! :) And you should really check out her site, The Surf Spot!. It's an incredible site. And you can e-mail Krissy here.
So who's up next time? I guess you'll just have to wait and see! :)
