The blog of KAO written in heart-wrenching broken English

About KAO

Poor excuse of a blogger, currently trying to get back to business plans after spending most of his time and energy in the past years on nonprofit assignments.

Money, money

Websites & Projects | at 05:17 PM

I'm going to be cryptic again since I don't want to tell what my next site is about, not just yet. It's not of importance, because it's not in English anyway, this time it'll be only in French and, hopefully, Finnish, respectively for people living in those specific countries.

This morning I realized I had to make one major change in it, and that it would require some rethinking and redesign. I need to modify the baseline because of some "legal" facts I had not seriously taken into account. I don't want my site to sound for what it's not (a gambling site) so I have to remove some elements, mostly replace gambling-related words, to be sure I'm not misundertood.

That's the first time I need to do something like this and that's both interesting and frustrating. Interesting because it helps to define my site better, at least I know exactly what I'm doing with it now, frustrating because I have to choose my wording carefully and I feel I'm censoring myself by fear of the law. I think I have quite a honorable purpose with this site (besides the fact I'm trying to make money...) but this would probably be a worthless argument for the tax service wanting to take the little money I could make from it.

At least Internet encourages small businesses and entrepreneurship and permits what would be impossible in the actual world. Too bad it's busy with sites using the same unscrupulous methods found out there.
