My First Rails Site Launched 1
Yep, it’s now online and viewable by everyone. Check it out here: http://www.lyricsdb.ca
It isn’t much to behold yet, as I haven’t really put much time into the presentation of the site, or even the front-end at all. But I’ve got some more important things to deal with right now, such as adding content to the site quickly.
I have two goals for the LyricsDB.ca website. First, I want to use it as a project through which I’ll learn Ruby on Rails, and that is already happening. With every hour that I put into the site, I feel more comfortable with the Ruby language and the Ruby on Rails framework, and I know that the experience I’m gaining will lead to better constructed projects in the future. Second, I hope to generate enough ad revenue from the site to cover the costs of my TextDrive hosting account. Sure, $12 a month isn’t that much of a burden, but if this one site can cover that monthly cost, then I can take my time with the two additional sites I’m allowed to host on the same account.
So, there ya have it. Anyway, here’s one last link to the website.
Congrats. :)
