(original barnezy.com homepage -Circa July 2005)
Barnezy.com was created in the summer of 2005 in response to several people asking me simply, “why don’t you have a website?” I have over 100 hours of video tape that I’ve shot throughout the years as well as thousand and thousands of images. I have made somewhere around 100 videos or short movies since I was a kid and there were several people who kept asking me why I had not created a site to chronicle these projects. With the help of a friend named Matt Eber, I purchased the domain name in 2004 from godaddy.com and began working on the site in the spring of 2004. I launched the website shortly after and it quickly became too busy for my godaddy server. In those days, YouTube was just getting started so the only places on the web for funny videos were places like www.ebaumsworld.com. I didn’t like the graphic nature of some of there content so I only hosted internet videos on my site that I thought were safe for young people to watch. In those early years it wasn’t uncommon to see over 1,000,000 hits on my website mainly due to the web videos I had featured on my site. When I got married and began chiropractic school in 2007, things got a little busy to update my website. It got to the point where I was updating one time per year just so people knew I was still alive. In 2009, I expressed to my wife how I missed keeping up my site and how I wanted to rebuild it from the ground up in a format that would be easy to update and more user-friendly to visitors. For Christmas, my mother -in-law and grandmother-in-law purchased me a ProPhoto blog membership and I began to put it together soon after. Since entering chiropractic school I’ve really gotten into digital photography and HD videography so I needed a site that would cater to those passions. This blog software is absolutely perfect for a guy like me. ProPhoto Blogs is powered by WordPress which makes it incredibly easy for me to update and manage my site. For years I dealt with HTML which made it very difficult to keep up my website, but because of ProPhoto Blogs I’ve been able to post over 50 blogs this year already as well as dozens of page updates. I have made some minor cosmetic changes this morning since the website has remained largely unchanged since a fresh upgrade in January 2010. As of now, my original website is still available in a limited capacity on this site. It will be removed when I graduate from chiropractic school and begin my career as a doctor. I will continue to use this site to host photo and video projects but the web videos and personal pages of the old site will be a thing of the past. I appreciate all of you who follow this site, and hope that in some way it keeps you smiling. This is something I enjoy doing and hope that I’ll always be able to keep up barnezy.com. Stay tuned for new photo and video projects coming soon. -Barnezy-
