Marc
Knox, created this site as a 'hobby' allowing him to fuse his love of literature
and art with web design, things he enjoys. Marc tells us, "When I was younger and
personal computers that had 64K RAM memory where considered the
top end of the market, I used to write furiously. Day after day
I'd write down some new earth shattering literary release or another.
I knew then what I know now; what I wrote was never destined to
be found in a book in someones library but the sheer act of putting
pen to paper helped transfer the thoughts from my head to somewhere
else; If I was American I'd probably have to have paid a shrink
$50 a week from age 5! As I've aged I still have the desire to write,
I just don't have the discipline.
I've long thought it would be great to find a place on the internet
where you could peruse and maybe submit something, a drawing, a
poem, whatever you wanted. Sure, I found places that would host
my stories and poems mostly all of them had conditions - I waded
into HTML, got lost, found Dreamweaver and finally this site appeared.
This is my attempt at making the idea in my head a reality, if this is the kind of site you were looking for I'm glad you found
it!"

How to contact someone whose work

Selfless-Mind.com is currently run more as a labour of love than
anything else. Marc, the webmaster, uses it to combine his liking
of art & literature with computing and web design. The more
he learns the more he tweaks, sometimes to the detriment of actually
doing anything for regular viewers. A lot of the problems in the
early stages were caused by the style, it wasn't until dreamweaver
was mastered a little that the framework could be put in place.
From then on it's down to mood swings... If Marc is in the mood
he'll do some work on the site if not it'll have to wait. Now that
the site is more or less finished daily updates only need to be
done when new work is submitted or additions made. Needless to say
there's costs involved in teaching yourself things, even though
there's a wealth of information on the internet, you still have
to buy a few books on various topics and they don't come cheap!
If you wish to make a donation via paypal you should know it would
be greatly appreciated!
