This is beyond "webmaster" -- time for web-philosopher!
anatoly, not anatolant ?
... ethio.vtheatre.net -- practical application of my web theories [web-actor, web-director, web-wrighter : spectator.vtheatre.net]
NB. I do not have enough structure in my web! Mini, "service" pages! Sub-sub-directories -- and etc. It's too close to "texts" and linear mind, it's not WED-DRAMA yet [genre].
Web-Narrative?
I do not have the critical mass of complexity! And this is after a decade of webbing!
That's why there is no simplicity!
web.vtheatre.net/1 & web.vtheatre.net/2 -- no work is done. Net & Web... and now there is web2.0 and 3.0 !
2005 updates: Small Chekhov Fall * "Four Farces & One Funeral" -- Chekhov.05 Chekhov's one-acts are updated -- The Bear, The Proposal (1st act -- Oh, Love!), Wedding, Tobacco (Act II -- Ah, Marriage!), but I'm still working on the "funeral" (Last Day of Anton Chekhov). mini-chekhov I am teaching DramLit -- groups.yahoo.com/group/dramlit (subscribe) and see THR215 for subjects, topics, titles.
Spring 2006 -- Waiting for Godot, Beckett -- new pages ( see shows )
I never was a free man and it was explained to me in my childhood by Karl Marx. But three years ago, in addition to being a slave of historical surcumstances, society and so on, I became a cyber-slave, total slave! Maybe this is why we, the slaves of the slaves, wish to call ourselves -- "webmasters"!
Maybe it was two years back that I understood the need for the web directories on my sites, where I can keep my complains and chronicals of the web-slavery. A year ago I discover that I also need BUSINESS directories! Who was I kidding? Of course, it's business to have a developed website. Respect your time, slave! Treat yourself as a business, my friend.
Your time = your money. Money must make money. Website is an investment. (Unless you made it out of egomania). They come for service and products -- and you better figure it out, what is your price. What would you pay for using your own site? We all know that "free" is only a teaser.
There is a way to turn yourself into "master" -- think as one. Creat the distance between you, master, and the webmaster, who you hared. Keep it professional, not personal.
Featured Pages : Virtual Theatre, new site that will coordinate all my theatre and film pages.
New? Bad news. Ethiop Village is gone. "Above the World" is no more (thanks God, I didn't use it). "MyComputer" -- asked to pay... I removed their code from my pages. I better get ready for Tripod and theGlobe going non-free (my biggest sites are there). 2001: TheGlobe is gone.
Think about it.
2007 updates?
Summary
Read 2009 pages : my third web wave -- working on re-structuring, not just "building" webpages. Here, and in web.filmplus.org.
...
new: 2003 *
... My "Russian" 2005 Summer is over. "Russian" -- because I wrote about the Russian past (in Russian)... What next?
... 2003: So, I got the traffic, but most of it comes from the search engines and by accident. More than 50%? I don't know. It's getting better, if you continue to update your metatags. But at the moment I do not have any webmaster strategy; I got to the 3rd generations of my webpages and simply "use" my cyber space for classes, productions, writing.
..."It has been a great success over the years. The Web information Resource
for Newbies has survived many ups and downs and has had almost a million unique visitors over the years. Don't say wow because that is nothing for a web site. Its actually low to moderate traffic. The major players receive that many uniques in days weeks or months."

* 10.10.05. Chief executive Eric Schmidt estimates that Google won't manage to index all the world's information until around the 24th century. Of the approximately 5 million terabytes of information out in the world, only about 170 terabytes have been indexed.
Of the estimated $283bn spent on advertising in the United States, $11.3bn is spent on the Internet, with Google taking in about 1 percent of that.
2007: I made this page on 4.13.06 = I have to work foreward, not trying to fix what is behind. Or, better say, in both directions!
Only after 8 years of webbing I began to make "new.html" pages. And "new.txt" files...
2009 = 2002 (Ethiopian calendar) = The Ethiopian Millennium, as I call it...
I hide "notes for myself" at the bottom of my pages.

2005: As a webmaster, I do not have any business ideas. It's wonder that my webpages got to this 2K/day traffic; all I do is keep writing. Writing what? Notes for myself. Notes for the classes I teach, the shows I direct, the books I want to publish...
New? New obsession -- the ads by Google. I placed the AdSense code on all pages -- because for a change this program does pay! So, I went crazy -- $3/day? How about five bucks? What about ten a day? $300/month? Wait! What if I can make $100 every day?
Webmaster's dreams...
Well, finally, the pages pay for themselves (hosting, domain names and etc.) -- not for my labor although...
You see? This is something unthinkable for a book. "New"? New edition?
Well, the "smart pages" are set in such a way that they keep updating themselves (htmlgear). The fresh content is a must, if you want visitors to become repeat readers (as I use to call them before). Loyal clients, how they are called in business.
New is what makes them to come back.
And they should know that the NEW is there! That's why we do buy newspapers.
Another madness -- the cqcounter (you see it on every page too). Neat -- I can see the trands of my pages' traffic (you can see it as well). Who does come to my sites, from where, what language they use and etc. -- of course, I can't resist and keep checking the data! Stop it, Anatoly! Stop it right now!
So, what is new, Anatoly? Me! New thoughts about the web, even I say -- realizations. This web "diary" goes nowhere. First, the web-writing is nothing less than faking writing. The numbers are fake. Newspaper deep. TV screen flat. Walk away from it, leave it behind, anatoly. Write for the page of paper.
The public space is your limitations. The millions. Keep the webmaster in you under control. Be skeptical. Only the minimum. The web is to support the real actions -- texts, directing, thoughts. The content. Be smart. Be in control...
Sounds different? Contradicts everything I wrote about this lovely couple Web and Net?
Not really.

-- New attitude, that's what a webmster needs! Accept it, you will be forced to treat your sites and pages as BUSINESS. Nothing could be done about it; ineternet is the public place.
10.24.04. Oh, well! I just took a look at this cqcounter again -- on weekends I lose 50% of visitors and fear that the numbers won't be back... The students do not do their homework before Sunday night. Now I know.
Look -- "easy notes Galileo by Bertolt Brecht"... I have Brecht's notes, but their are not "easy"... "papers about Ivan the terrible by eisenstein" -- the paper is due on monday! "the 12th night analysis" -- another assignment is due. "Analysis of Desire Under the Elms" -- I bet they got to my O'Neill page...
You got the picture. How useful my instructional pages could be, I do not know. I do not think that my live students use them. I do.
I write something new before (and after) my classes; this is how the pages are getting bigger. I write to help me to tech. That's all.
Right now I have to go to shows.vtheatre.net/shrew to get ready for the rehearsals of The Taming of the Shrew.
Web secrets? Sweat...
NB
The Net will go small... The Web goes for specialized markets. In one-man operation the smaller is the better.
Web is very new as a field of business, very little known about its economic laws. Experiment, there are not many formulas to learn yet. And the models are to study, to think about how you can have your own unique business model.
2002: Only two websites left that I work on: GeoAlaska (Virtual Theatre) and Film-North...

"Put some time and thought into reorganizing the principles of your web-bulding habbits to suit the business needs. Do it before they will force you to do it, or will squeez you out all together! Put the businessman above the webmaster. Consider yourself as an investor, producer, the one who thinks about the money. Become a small business. Write your own business plan. The datelines, translate your time into money inwested (not wasted), your business goals and targets. But first, deside if you want to do it. If this is not for you, prepare to pay for having your fun webbing."

When will my webpages make any business sense? Probably never. Will the traffic grow 150% again in 2005? It have to go 1000% before I can see any real money. I have no idea what will it take to increase the traffic 10 folds in one year. Extra income is nice, but I'm a webmaster by default, I can't jump over my head, even if I would have the time to do it. And this is my new realization.
I have enough pages to keep writing. And I will. Thanks, webmaster, and so long.
I hope you understand the difference between books and ebooks?
2010 thoughts: I cannot "fix" this page -- and I can't make "new" NEW pages. I use the "year" pages.
What is the balance between "old and new" in my web?
You have to work, too, if your are "reader" and not surfer: if you are student of WEB.
... I myself should re-read etheatre and enotes, to look back at the begging of my search for web-aesthetics. Is there a page "web" in filmplus.org/research?
... 2009 : FAQ : 2009 | new.html | new.HTML | new.HTM | new.htm + NEW.html | NEW.HTML | NEW.HTM ... NEW & new [filmplus.org "new" pages] -- how to understand this (new) super-structure?
