HomeWolf Frequently Asked Questions
(...actually, they've only been asked a few times, but anyways...)
Q: Why the name Homewolf?
A: Because. Actually, a long time ago, I was looking through one of those
"Baby Name" books and found that my name, Randy, meant "the home wolf" and
it just kind stuck with me.
Q: Why do we have to log in to post?
A: Because. I've been to other poetry (and message) boards and have
decided to take this course of action for two reasons:
- Nick Protection. Nobody can post as you nor steal your Nick,
which happened several times on boards I've visited.
- Copyright Protection. By posting "as you" via your Nick, you
have claims to what you post, it attaches identity to your
writings.
Q: Is being a User free?
A: Yes. There is no charge, nor will there be, as long as I work where
I work. :) I get free bandwidth, enough to run this site anyways,
as a perk. As long as the traffic stays light (shouldn't be a problem,
really) this site will always remain free.
Q: But you mean free to us, but you sell our info to others?
A: Absolutely frickin' not! I'm a very big privacy advocate, and
detest the "mining" of e-mail addresses and other info to sell.
Your info is safe from being sold here. Read the
Privacy Policy.
Q: Why did you do X in the design of the site?
A: Over the years I've developed my own taste for what makes a good
website. After designing sites professionally I found that I did not want
to do it professionally; business customers tend to like a lot of flash
(not Flash®, but WOW! OOH! type of flash) and images, which over time
I found to be a real pain in the neck to do. My instincts tell me "less
graphics, faster load" (and this was when everyone was on dial-up
connections!) I love graphics, so don't get me wrong, but I believe in a
balance of nice images and content. And HomeWolf represents my ultimate
goal, to present content in a nice, elegant way that makes it easy to
navigate the site and still looks very nice.
Q: How do I suggest a theme/skin for the site?
A: Coming soon! A way to do so.... :)
