    ? Not just LGBT related blog/site, it could be about animal rights, politics, fashion, sport and so on.

    I got the idea about starting my own website, especially since I'm taking a computer class that teaches webpage design and making your own website among many things.

    I had a YouTube channel, back in late 2007, and it ran until about early to mid-2009. I was even a YouTube Partner, seeing the rise of many of today's bigger names. Of course, I've also seen what some of those bigger names are like when the camera isn't on...

    I closed down the channel, for a variety of reasons.

    Before that, back in the late 1990s, I used to make my own websites via Angelfire, Geocities, and other site creators. Mostly it was just for things I liked, and a way to store images and links that I had found, to make anybody else with similar interests use my sites as a sort of one-stop shop.

    That's primarily in the past now.

    My friends and I have joked about starting a website called flirty-bird.com (the dating website for all you Northern Cardinals out there!) over the summer.
    (we learned about birds last year and we assigned different types of birds to different classmates and started matchmaking people and so on it was hilarious)

    I've thought about it many times, but never really had a good idea for a site. I'm a web developer though and wish I had an awesome side project to maintain. I'd prefer something that doesn't require daily writing (such a sports site) as I know that would quickly start to feel like a job to me.

    I have a few blogs, though I don't really write on them very often, and they're not very personal.

    I've considered starting a satirical blog/yt channel on politics and religion, but then I remembered I don't want to get death threats from strangers.

    I have a website that acts as my online art portfolio. Years ago I used to post regularly on a LiveJournal, but in retrospect I realized I was sharing way too much with the world and ended up deleting the account and posts.

    Yes, I have considered putting together a site for a blog and podcasts. The problem is that I would need to be able to make money from it in order to make the time investment worthwhile.
