I was moments, hours really, away from giving up the ryanharne.com. I have spent a great deal on textbooks and software lately, all required, mind you, and the extra cost of renewing a domain name wasn’t too high on my list. Since the recent days have been consumed by hands-on work done in studio, entirely instructed on my own, my desire to become creative in a literary outlet has waned, plainly.
This semester promises to be exciting and long-winded, all-the-while speeding by like no semester before. With a summer approaching, demanding to be occupied by some internship, I am spending (and plan to spend) obscene amounts of time searching for appropriate companies and sending emails. Additionally, my scholarship application work is in high gear. When I factor in the amount of relaxation time I spend in studio doing academically-unrelated jobs, I discover little remains for devotion to this site.
Yet, I know it would be difficult to throw in the towel. At the same time, I am no machine and the desire to write cannot be forced, cannot be faked.
But.
If I go, I’ll go out in flames. An early Independence Day, for the Americans on board. An impromptu fireworks finale, for everyone else.

The demise of ryanharne.com? I shudder at the thought.
Heck, ryanharne.com is actually my default home page!
So, in case you ever wondered where those 15+ hits a day originate from Southern California are originating from, they’re more than likely coming from me.

How much does your domain name cost? It can’t be that expensive — mine’s only six dollars a year.

Kellan - It’s 150% more expensive than your domain. It was purchased in the day when internet space was presumed scarce.

You can always transfer your domain to another registrar that is less expensive or call your registrar to see if they’ll give you a better deal.
I did that with Network Solutions and they beat the price I would have been able to get if I had transferred my domain to GoDaddy.
