A little bit of history.
Why did I choose  allthingx.com? Well, that is pretty simple. Cause I am addicted to this episode "all things" (7x17) written by Gillian Anderson (who I totally adore!!!). Well, before I registered I had one of these cjb.net redirections. But I wanted more. After seeing "all things" I HAD TO register all thingx. I simply replaced the S by an X. That's all ... however some people mix my name up with allthings x or something .... What the hell is so difficult about it??? LOL. That's frustrating. Cause, who needs a S when you can get an X instead? I never wanted allthings.com or something, cause it's too in general. allthingX.com expresses that this site is about everything with regard to The X Files.

I started like everyone started. With a bad layout with bad images on a bad free server. At first I just tried out a lot. I tried out several html editors and image programs but then I started to learn some html instead of using editors and wrote html sites just for fun. After that I founded my first site with little content. I had several BAD layouts ... I always thought that I want something that's really good ... I mean ... I really did not know what I was doing when I started my first site ... but it's all about improvement. I gathered more content and got permission of authors to feature their fanfiction or musicvideos and images. I got more skilled with doing layouts and images ... and finally, after a while, it turned out the other way round. Authors and creators asked me to put up their stuff. I think ... this was the time when I broke through ... lol. But I am still asking others, if I could promote their stuff, cause it's just great to feature skilled people!
On August 9th, 2001 all thingx celebrated it's 1 birthday. I am happy that it is still alive and that I still have fun with it. But my time has become rare, cause I have several other domains and sites. Nevertheless all thingx is my first site and I really love it ... . It's - like for every webmaster out there - something very special ... cause I started with it ... it's my first www project ever. And as long as I love The X Files or at least Gillian Anderson this site will exist - I think forever.
 

The webmistress.
That must be me - shiricki. You can read more about me here. Yes, and I am on my own with all thingx. I am maintaining all thingx alone. Okay I have to say that I have not written all of these fanfiction and I haven't created all artwork and musicvideos by myself, but ... well, in general I can say, I have created quite everything. Hehe ...
It's just my silly head ... lol ... I am a workaholic with regard to sites on the web ... in general I am lazy with regard to school etc ... lol. Who else is not?
You can always reach me by emailing me to: shiricki @ allthingx.com or simply contact me here.
 

About the current layout.
This is version 9.0 called "Forever".
It's really painstaking to rewrite the whole site. But I made it to change all thingx nine times. Everything is created and copyrighted by me! You want? You ask.

Previous versions.
Have a look on the previous versions on the right. I missed to take screenshots of versions 1- 4 but there are shots of the most recent ones.

10.0 Flower Mysteries
9.0 Forever
8.04 Memories
7.00 Milagro
6.00 Signs
5.00 all things

Programs.
HTML/PHP: I usually write it myself. I do not use Dreamweaver or something. Tried it once but it makes me sick ...
Graphics: I use a lot of image programs. First of all, of course Adobe Photoshop 6 and higher. It's just the best! Then follows Image Impression, Picture Publisher 9, sometimes also Paint Shop Pro 7 and I even use Paint ... lol ... that's not very often but sometimes simple is better.
Videos and Musicvideos: I cut and edit them with Adobe Premiere 5.1 and then format them to wmv or rm with either Windows Media encoder ot Real Media Encoder.
 

Hosting.
I use a german host. It's quite good and it's ... well ... neither cheap nor expensive. I think I pay a good price for all what I get. I think it's about $18 a month just for all thingx. Is it worth it? Yes I think so. As long as there is still one person visiting all thingx a day ... I think it is ... I am happy with more than 20.000 visitors at the moment. I have a uniquie counter, as a result double clicks on all thingx a day do not count. So I can be sure of the number of visitors and I am satisfied with each and every. Currently I am not hosting anyone else with all thingx. But I have a small free service called gubblebum.net, that hosts journal sites.
