-- About the Site --

This site could previously be accessed at http://amellie.blogspot.com

I didn’t actually want to buy a hosting in the first place. But that time I was so frustrated to find out that I couldn’t practice PHP on my localhost!!! I did not know what was going wrong, I thought my codes were incorrect. But then I realised that my localhost did not recognise session and cookies!! What the hell? After I purchased a web hosting for the sake of PHP, I found out that my ZoneAlarm firewall was the one that caused a problem!!! It was so frustrating. I uninstalled it right away, and chose BitDefender instead.

Why amellie.net? Well, first of all Amel and Mellie are my nicknames among my Indonesian friends. So, the equation is: amel+mellie = amellie! Hehe. I honestly was stucked on choosing a domain name. All of my favourite words are taken! So, I use my name instead. And the reason I chose .net is because .com has been taken by other people! As simple as that!

This site was designed by myself using Photoshop CS, Macromedia Flash MX, and Programmers Notepad 2 inspired by Leevi Graham’s famous layout. I use flash because I was so frustrated on how IE “translate” the png-transparent image! It was so annoying. So the easiest thing is to use flash.

amellie.net is hosted by Bluehost. So far I’m quite happy with the service that Bluehost offers. I gotta tell ya, they have lots of interesting features! I’m not only using this host for the website, but also for the purpose of learning about IT :).
