This whole adventure began on Geocities, which then became Yahoo-Geocities, and now that part of the internet is no more, except in the archives of sites which copied all the content. No more free websites on Geocities made the end of an era, you might say. Not that I am complaining because they were very good to me over the years with free and very stable hosting. I made a place for the writing and webmastering I had begun, in this new site.

 

If you could support my internet activities with Amazon purchases through the access from my pages I would appreciate it -I finally made enough to pay for the domain name here as an affiliate, but this could be supported further with help from visitors to the site. I have handpicked Amazon selections to check out. These are chosen to relate to the topics I center on within these pages.

Each year I have worked hard to renew the site... this year even more intensively. The Garden site, Ilona's Garden usually gets most of my work and attention.

The Garden Pages took on their own domain for some time now (since 2006)  and are thriving. Most of my writing has been garden writing for a number of years.

The Childbirth section remains at it's same url.

More for you, my dear visitors! I feel badly to have so neglected this site, but I am really tired of the annoying ad styles. .Not that I am complaining because geocities was very good to me over the years with free and very stable hosting.

I think it is great to start out on, but my own domain has been long overdue. myreflectingpool.com -in case you forgot the name. Still in the works, but I am steadily improving it. So update your bookmarks, since I will link the garden site from here, but it has its own domain that you can bookmark, and the Christmas sites are on their own domain. It may be a month or two until everything has checked out.

 

I have moved Loving Christmas totally to its own domain, lovingchristmas.com. You might say I've been very busy working on all this! Yes, you certainly could say that. I'm very excited about the possibilities.

The Celt page will be given new code, and perhaps the Hungarian pages. The lifelights should take on....New life 🙂 Once I start working on them I have ideas for a new ways to present the wise sayings and humorous tidbits that have made up that part of the old site. This should keep me busy, along with my other blogging.

The Old "Web Help" has returned!!!

Soon after I had jumped full fledged into updating and creating new pages on my website, I had found that there were many others who could benefit from what I had learned ... links to the best problem solving pages, or what features I found for a website, or just how to do things online. That was scrapped fairly early on after I started to do more blogging. But now it seems there is a whole new group of people wanting to start out and in need of newbie advice. So, the blog that I have on this site is becoming the NEW Web Help. I haven't done a lot with it yet, it is that new. But you can look at it, Ilona's Reflecting Pool- Web Help Check it out.

This Blog Has Posts

Check out the "Recent Jottings".

The section on woman's fitness, Body Beautiful, had gotten the most attention when first setting up this new space. It reflects the needs I have in my own life. I hope this part of the site will see more more additional pages. The fitness section was always about a holistic approach to being healthy in mind and body, with a healthy body image, not the popular artificial one. No airbrushing here! Expect the site to get renovated throughout the year.

While this site is always evolving, I would say that the gardening part has the largest share of subject matter. It has its own domain: https://www.ilonasgarden.com Ilona's Garden

The Projects That Grew:

The Loving Christmas site

All-new look for Christmas in Ohio My Old House blog- the D-I-Yourself tales   Squidoo  Hubpages projects:  Tussy-Mussy, A Visit to Maui.

Check out the Bible Study area.

Blogging has been my main venture- I think that is the future for all personal website expression.

This website is taking on some of those aspects. it has taken twist and turns, been on hiatus, and now finally given life with direction that will completely transform it. In fact, I plan for this entire entry to the site to completely change.
