Our Retired Websites

My first ever site was Alex Atkin's Child-Starlets and Young Actresses, created during my early teens.

Back then, fan sites were very few and far between. The younger generation particularly overlooked which seemed unfair given that they would be the stars of the future. So I decided to create a site paying homage to the up-and-coming stars of tomorrow.

The site would eventually become http://csdclubs.co.uk as it started to cover too diverse a selection of actresses to be able to dedicate pages to each one seperately.

CSD Clubs was born due to the drecreasing cost of hosting PHP based websites and the death of Yahoo Clubs, which was merging with Yahoo Groups - a system I greatly disliked.

I wanted something that worked better than both systems, more tailor-made to hosting image galleries and chat rooms. I needed to be able to share all the vidcaps I had taken as a hobby and never used online, so that people could create their own fansites with them. Flickr, Picasa and Youtube were not around yet, there were few options but to build my own solution.

With constantly evolving web standards and personal health issues, I was unable to keep the site up-to-date with modern web standards so it was eventually taken offline. A snapshot of the site remains on my home server however so it will the lessons learned in the project will not be forgotten.

The important lessons learn from CSD Clubs remain in use however, PHP, MySQL and JavaScript - all used on my sites still online today.
