HYPE!! is a listing/web directory type thing that... blah blah blah blah blah. You're still reading? Well, that's a good thing, 'cos I'm still writing.
If you're here, you might already know all about that sort of thing. "That sort of thing" meaning: listings and directories. Just in case you are new to the world of submitting your site for promotion, do us both a favour...
Before you proceed, please read the information provided in the sidebar.
'Tis very useful if you'd like to add to this directory. Thanks!
Hype is defined as blatant promotion, sensational publicity or favorable advertisement. Sometimes referred to as ballyhoo, hoopla or plugging, hype is all about drawing your attention to something.
Like similar directories, HYPE!! is all about publicity. Publicity for the wonderful people I host. Publicity for sites I adore. Publicity for sites I visit all the time. Of course there is also an option for you, dear visitor. You can submit your own site(s) for inclusion in the listing.
HYPE - Why is it here?
To be honest, I'm pretty lazy. This leads to the horror known as not linking or not updating links to your friends, sites visited regularly, etc. This directory should put a stop to that nonsense!
When you submit your URL, not only will you get promotion, you'll effectively force me to update :) That's a good thing, my friend. Besides, though there are other listings out there, none of them are run by me.
HYPE - Rules?
This isn't a snobbish listing, but there are some things to consider before you fill out the form.
Linking back is deeply appreciated (though not required). I'm linking you, so I think that's a fair swap, don't you?
HYPE!! is maintained (and was created) by yours truly, echo. It is powered by SimpleDir 3.2 and PHP goodness learned from Tutorialtastic and Codegrrl. For the layout, I used EditPad Lite for the XHTML & CSS and a slightly altered photograph I shot at the beach in Atlantic City, NJ.
