One of the most difficult things I've discovered with this whole website development process is actually explaining what my website is about with sounding like a TOTAL GEEK. Building the web site itself is easy and surprisingly cheap if you know the right people. Now in my case, I have website. Got it up and running in record time. Changing it a few of times as facilitate the size of my head and silly little standards that popup. But basically it's up and running, now how do I describe it(the website) to people? especially old people and the cute Asian girls who don't speeck english. i.e. if I find any.

I find the top question that people ask first when they find out one has a Web site is "what's on it?"
So, where we're extremely excited geeking-out about what we know the site can do, how it does it and how you managed to get it to do that, they really just wanna know what might interest them.
they'll get excited if you talk about photographs - they'll think you have porn.

The porn trick works with the guys (at one very low point there was a section called soft-porn). But what about the cute asian girls and old people? how can I get them to eat my bandwidth?

I just say it's my journal... but generally I try to avoid anything pertaining to geekness because most people's eyes glaze over when I try to explain.

Isn't journal similar to saying man diary? and if so wouldn't that be like totally geeky?

In some respects I guess, but the questioning usually stops there.

If you want to get cute asian girls to read your stuff, you say, "It's the latest fashion. If you don't read it, you're out of date". or just talk about Anime, and all things cute. Puppies, they like puppies
