Query: Did Dave really code this site all by himself?
Answer: Without a doubt!

Query: Hmmm... okay, well does he always refer to himself in the third person?
Answer: No, that would be weird. Dave only did that for this site, mainly because it is easier for a reader to digest. However, Dave appreciates the humor in consistently referring to oneself in the third person. He knows that you also appreciate such humor, given the grin on your face suggesting mild amusement.

Query: Whoa, Dave can see me through the internet?!
Answer: No, of course not... if you're really that gullible, Dave has a bridge to sell you. His knowledge that you are smiling is conjecture based on years of intense training and study. See what sort of deep insights one can garner from a graduate education in psychology?

website info

Want to create your own website like Dave's? Well, first you need a domain (e.g., davidjbauer.com) and you'll also need a host (someone with a server to store your site on the internet). Dave uses 1 & 1 for his host, and has been very pleased with their service. The $5 per month Home Package will provide you with everything you need for a basic or complex site. If you need help, just ask Dave.

Next, you'll need some way to create the content of the site. You can code everything yourself (like Dave did for this site), or use some sort of software program. 1 & 1 provides a content creator with a familiar interface to make some pretty nice sites... if you know how to use a word processing program, you can create a simple site in no time! If you want a more advanced site and are willing to get your hands dirty, try a content management software (CMS) such as Drupal. Note that such a route will require a significant amount of learning and can become time-consuming. If this isn't your idea of fun, you'll probably want to just use a simple or hire someone to create the site for you.

Dave maintains several domains as a hobby and is also available for hire to create personal or professional sites. If you are interested in his services, contact Dave for further details.
