My own web sites
My second personal site
http://www.geocities.com/lacialacia/
This personal site is basically a long links list to all the stuff I ever did (much like this one here, only longer and more detailed).
My bookmarks at the Open Directory
http://dmoz.org/Bookmarks/L/leuce/Affiliated/
Most of the sites I'm affiliated with are listed here.
Vertaal.org
http://www.vertaal.org/
Okay, I admit it, I grabbed this domain when I discovered that it was free. I have plans for it... but do I have time for it?
Vertaal.org.za
http://www.vertaal.org.za/
Last year I tried getting a stammtisch off the ground, but local translators seem more keen on being spoon-fed than just chatting about life, the universe, and everything.
Third-party sites by me
Hawston Kunsteontwikkelingsforum
http://www.hawston.info/ (Wayback only)
A community group asked me to design a once-off site for their little arts festival. It shows how very simple HTML can be used to create an effective site at very low cost that goes to the very top of Google for your chosen keywords. Well, okay, what is really shows is that Google is more concerned with *content* and *simple SEO* than with fancy design and SEO tricks.
Huis der Nederlanden
http://www.hdn.za.net/
The HdN site used to be hosted by the Afrikaans Foundation, but when that foundation decided "no more thirdparty sites here", I quickly slapped together this site for their monthly newsletters and subscription information.
Stigting vir Afrikaans
http://www.afrikaans.com/
About five years ago I was given a mandate to redesign this site in preparation for new content, but the new content never arrived, despite frequent queries from me. Then, a year later, my contract was cancelled and a new webmaster appointed, but he only got as far as redesigning the front page (perhaps he is also waiting for promised content).
VirAfrikaans (free hosting)
http://www.virafrikaans.com/ (mine's on Wayback)
Dr Nieuwhof from the UK wanted to give free hosting to Afrikaans sites, and appointed me (on a volunteer basis) to create the site and help with administration. I'm no longer involved in that project.
Matie Community Service
http://www.sun.ac.za/mgd/ (Wayback only)}
My first web site for a client, again with some promises of content that didn't arrive, but at least it gave me experience in dealing with a web site client.
About Afrikaans
What is Afrikaans?
http://www.geocities.com/afrikaanse/watis.html (Wayback only)
A volunteer project (by me) in which people translate an introduction to Afrikaans into their own languages. For some strange reason Yahoo/Geocities trashed the site one day, and I didn't have backups (eeek!). Perhaps one day I'll revive the project...
