WebSeed was, gone now, one of the online publishers that Marjorie used to work through. ThemeStream was another. Suite101 is still in business, I believe.

Most of these have a business plan where they're going to publish material for a lot of folks and then make a bit off each of them and get rich. 'Course it don't work.

WebSeed was also a bulk domain name reseller, so their procedure was not to provide authors with a part of the main site, but create a domain name and assign it to the author's use. It belonged to them, but we maintained it.

A whole "Content Management" program gave us a control panel and fields to enter the texts and artwork, that were then transformed into pages on our/their site. When they went belly-up, they offerred to sell the domains to their authors for $20 apiece. We just had to take them up on it. Five domains with a readership and search engine standing. We just had to get our own registration and hosting going.

And, yours truly had to learn a program and convert five extensive sites before a two month deadline. Yikes, what a marathon it was. And it still shows in the earlier sites!
