I made my first attempt at making a website around 2001. I actually took a well known site and tailored it to what I wanted and just used it from my hard drive. What did I want? I wanted a place that had the links, which I visited a lot, all in one place. I wanted a few of the little free-ware programs, that I still use, available no matter where I was computing from. I wanted links to homework sites available, as I still like to learn stuff even if I am getting on in years. But in order to have all that I wanted in a website, I had to make my own.

As I did not want it to seem that I was using someone else's work, I put together my own site in 2002 and put it on the web. MicksPlace.net was born. One can also reach MicksPlace.net through Lail.org or Lail.net.

The links on my site are rarely changed. As I have stated: These are places that I like to visit. MicksPlace.net was put on the web for my own use. But I have found that during the past several years, a great many other people are now calling it home, and many more use it each month. During the last ten years, MicksPlace has received over ten million visits. That's not bad for a little website that was put here just for me. :-)

I am happy that so many people like to use my site and are happy with the way it is, as I do not think it is going to change much anytime soon. Other than the occasional change in the way the Index page looks, or the addition or removal of a link every now and then, MicksPlace.net will remain as it was intended to be: A place with places that I like to visit. My site is very much serving it's purpose for me, and many other people, and hopefully it will be here for a long time.

I hope that you enjoy your time here, and you are most welcome to come back anytime. If you would like a link added, let me know and I will ponder over it at suppertime. :-)  Mick
