How I started WeekendBroward.com

Less than 6 months ago, I decided to experiment with a free website creation tool from Google called Google Sites.  It allows anyone to create a website by simply selecting an existing site and then making changes to it in order to personalize it to their liking.  I wanted a website that would allow me to pull together all the invitations I had been receiving via e-mail and Facebook for local bands.  It only took me a few hours to start the site, originally called Weekend Concierge.  The site I started with had a disclaimer that it was for 21 and over which I thought would be perfect since I really did not want to promote going out to bars to watch bands to anyone under 21.  I found out soon after that Google will not publicize any website with this designation.  I put a request into Google to remove the designation, but to this day, I never received a reply. 

And that's when I started all over....
