Marocharim.com

September 7, 2007

   I was checking my e-mail today when I came across a legitimate e-mail from the good people of PinoyBlogosphere.com notifying me that because I won the Participants’ Choice Award in the recently-concluded Wika2007 Blog Writing Contest, I have the prize of a free domain name and webhosting service for one year.  Yup, the project of Marocharim.com is now a reality.  I’d like to thank everyone who supported me in that cause: the 17 people who voted for my entry, and of course the participants who chose me as their pick to win the contest.

   Yup, Marocharim.com exists.  The only problem is I don’t know how to use HTML.

   My idea for Marocharim.com is not the shameless self-glorification that there is in The Marocharim Experiment.  Basically, I’ll still do my blogging here.  I envision Marocharim.com to be a lot of things:

  • A repository for the things I have written that are still “alive” in my home computer.  This includes everything from term papers, short essays (what I like to call “non-experiments,” constructs, drafts, and so on and so forth.  It’s all a matter of compiling stuff into convenient PDF’s (protected to ensure that nobody passes off any paper I’ve written as his/her own) and such.
  • A repository for the things I have written that are found in those moldy notebooks in my bookshelf.  In retrospect, those scribbles make a lot of sense.  Some kid out there would deem my one-liners to be what Edmund Husserl was to Martin Heidegger (just an example: just because I consider myself Husserlian doesn’t mean that I’m a synoptic extension of Husserl).  Besides, all my best thoughts are written in those notebooks.
  • A repository for the things other people have written that may find a good home in the public space that is the Internet.  Consider those students, faculty members and such who have written so much in the way of great ideas, but don’t have a place to make themselves heard.  Here’s a great chance for them to do so.

   Which brings me to my problem: I don’t know how to use HTML, and I don’t know shat about this “webhosting” thing.  So I’m asking goodwilled bloggers everywhere if you could teach me how to get around having an appealing site for these objectives.  Drop me a line.

   And again, thank you: without you, Marocharim.com would never be a reality.
