It all started as a joke and a bit of a challenge. But then somewhere along the line I realized that being involved in copy-writing is too good to pass up. Big love for analyzing was a certain slide to where I am now. To pick up every tidbit of info, meditate on words literariness, and then pour it all in a decent form - that is the essence of my current work being. Overall, I see the web as a Klondike of art, music, and literature... it's all there. Maybe someday, I'll brave more than just copy-writing. We'll see. on Google+.

      If I set up a WordPress Razor template and use Microsoft® WebMatrix will I be able to host it at my current host or do I need to use their “partners”? Will GoDaddy or Hostgator handle the site – I can ftp it.

        Veronika, I believe we’ve already discussed this on our Facebook page. However, here it is again:
        the templates optimized for the Microsoft WebMatrix environment can be hosted elsewhere, the main condition here is that it has to be IIS hosting with asp.net 4.0 with integrated pipeline.
        Let me know if there’s anything else you want to ask.
        Thanks for your interest!
