build a website
Manage, work on, and/or host over 30 at present (also helped design a few elements for this site )

My point? A lot of people do stuff, many might not make a big show about it, but they do stuff, hundreds of them, possibly even thousands, on a regular basis.

What we have to do is take that to the next level, and that's not just about money that's about ourselves as well.

I can stick up two sites tomorrow, at identical costs, one a piece of shit I put no effort into, and one a labor of love, which ones going to attract the visitors and funding?

We're never going to get other stations, or sites, to carry broadcasts while we tell them they can just suck it up, and likewise the money won't come until we show we're worth the funding.

We can't raise sufficient funds to make a difference internally, we can only achieve it by reaching beyond where we are now.
