Towards the end of 2008, I created ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gaias_jewel and now in light of the potential, though not likely LJ troubles, I got gaiasjewel over at InsaneJournal (just like my main journal, there won't be any content there unless something happens to LJ). I intend to use it as a very informal blog and an in for various jewelry communities for the jewelry business I'm starting this year. For a more professional blog, I've got Blogger and WordPress accounts, but there's not really anything at either of those yet.
Oh yeah, by the way, I'm starting a jewelry business this year. It's called, you guessed it Gaia's Jewel. I've registered gaiasjewel.com as well as .net and .org (they'll all point to the .com site, I just don't want someone else grabbing the domains and potential customers being confused by similar sites). I'm even going to look into trademarking the name. I appreciate the tips on domain registration and hosting. I registered with GoDaddy but have not chosen a host yet. I especially appreciate the tip to look for GoDaddy coupon codes before registering. I got the .net and .org domains for less than $8 each (originally priced $12.99 and $14.99 respectively).
I also have an Etsy store, but there's nothing there yet, either. I really just wanted to go ahead and get all the web stuff set up at the end of the year while I couldn't really do jewelry work even if I wanted to. I may not use it all, or I may just set up feeds so I can update one and they're all updated. Once I get the site set up, I may integrate the blog into it so everything else might disappear. But I wanted to have it there in case I wanted to use it.
Now to clear my work space and get some content for all these sites.
