I’ve had an idea of making a website of 1,000,000 unique pets for about 2 years now. I was originally inspired by the Million Dollar Homepage and thought of charging people $5 to get their pet shown in my giant online pet collage; I registered the domain name and off I ran. I soon realized that my whole idea wouldn’t work; I don’t have the programming experience and who would really go for it anyways? I know you don’t know who would go for it, but it was the programming and lack of money which really kept me from proceeding.
For two years, I paid for hosting and the domain name with nothing on the site. I was busy working on other things and investing in the video game business that I run. The games were what was bringing me money so that’s where I concentrated my time; of course, this is what any good business person would probably do.
Using Entrecard.com and seeing all of the great blogs that I’ve been dropping on has given me inspiration to revisit this project and I pretty much spent this whole weekend setting this “pet” project up. Check out One Million Pet Pics for yourself and see how you can benefit from my new blog.
Within the next couple of posts I will also be writing about some of the tools that I used to get everything up and running. Obviously, I have a little bit of tweaking to do yet, but I feel it’s definitely ready for public viewing.

I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you.
