"Honeydukes" was released in april 2004. It
was hosted on GeoCities and was titled "The Dementor's Kiss".
The first day of my site was a Hit!! I got About a hundred and
twelve hits on the first day. The site went on well for
sometime until, after about two weeks later, I got tired of
updating and uploading the site ( I had to rewrite the UPDATES
column on each of my fifty pages and upload them again. the
total process took quite a few hours). Then, influenced by a
friend, I changed hosts and went to AngelFire( I could use PHP
there). But, to my disappointment, I could not find any page
there which would show me the site's statistics ( and i still
don't know :) if you know it, please mail
me) So, I went back to GeoCities. Soon though , I lost
interest in HP and let the site "float" (if you get the
meaning!) After a few months, a friend of mine suggested that
we start the site again. I agreed. Then, when I went to my
account, I realized that I hadn't had a single hit for the
last two weeks!!. We rennovated the site and started over. the
hits were comming in slowly as I hadn't changed my account.
In January 2005, the webmaster of Persian
Magic (now closed) ,
Arnav Das , mailed me asking if I wanted to merge with his
site.
I gave up TDK and opened a new site -
Honeydukes!!
And here you have it!! Once a dull and boring
(not to mention ill maintained) site, we are now full of juicy
information and media!!!
