Q & A's



Here is where I answer various questions about my site..if you've got a question you'd like to ask me (and I haven't already answered it here), then email me! :)



Q. Where'd you come up with the idea to make your site like a house?
A. When I first began this site sometime back in early '98, it was actually called the "BSB Link Hub," and I was going to put up links to as many BSB sites as I could find. But then I decided that I wanted to do something more with the site, and I wanted it to be something no one--or very few people--had done yet. It was GeoCities that actually gave me the idea to make a house..back then (before they joined with Yahoo!), they had everything set up in neighborhoods, and each "neighborhood" had street numbers. Mine was 1634. So I went from there, trying to theme my site as much like a house as I could. The funny thing is, so much of the stuff on a typical BSB site fits into the idea of a house...but I won't go into that! ;) After I'd finished setting up most of the site, I put a link to it on one of my first sites on what was then WBS..the address was "1634 ALAYLM Lane; SouthBeach, Geocities 19372"...and tada! Here the site is now, still around after over two years! That old WBS page of mine still exists, too (It was called 'Band Spotlight')...if for some reason you'd like to see it, then click here.

Q. How often do you update?
A. Whenever I feel like it, actually, hehehe...but I've kind of promised myself that, if not more frequently, I'll update every weekend.

Q. Is there any real information on the Backstreet Boys here?
A. Other than the info in the guys' rooms...not really. When I first created 1634 ALAYLM Lane, I had created the bulletin board as a place for the latest news on the guys. But as the site has evolved, the information aspect has disappeared. Now, I'm focusing more on entertainment. After all, you can go to virtually ANY Backstreet Boys site for information! And besides that, it's getting harder and harder to tell fact from fiction (rumors spread like wildfire!), so I'm going to remain on the safe side and put as little info here as possible. But don't think the bulletin board is gone for good...I might bring it back eventually! ;)

Q. Where did you get the graphics for your site?
A. All graphics on this page (such as the header graphics, image maps, etc.) were created by me, unless otherwise specified. The cartoon girls that I used for the "All About Me" and "Melly" header were made by my friend Mel, but other than that, if it's not a banner (that excludes my site banners) then it was most likely made by me. If you've got a question about one of them, then email me and ask! :)

Q. Can I use your graphics on my own site?
A. (No one asked me this question..it's just a precaution) No, you may not use my graphics on your own site. I don't know why you'd want to, anyway, unless you were copying my house theme, but it took me a fair amount of time to create some of these graphics. So no stealin' them, got it! That goes for the pictures in the Humor section, as well (the ones with the speech bubbles on them)...those particular ones are copyrighted by me! If you want the original copies (without the bubbles), then email me, and I'll send them to you.
