Grant talked how he originally started Deaf Network
website 10 years ago. (November 1997 Present) Before he signed up
new domain, he used free webpage service under local ISP. Also, he
was lucky to learn some HTML codes (Using Notepad) from his friend at
job. Of course things are slow but very exciting at this time.
Remember at this time, Netscape was very popular so does AOL and
Google was nothing but baby. Dot-Com has gone crazy. Each domain cost
$35 dollars it is very expensive compared $10 per domain today.
Back then, they had few clients such as Merritt Interpreting Service,
Deaf Celebration, Jean Massieu Academy, Dallas Deaf Club, and Deaf
Action Center. They are important part of his dream feed
information such as events, announcement and others to community yet
its all free.
You will see how ugly our website was before and it kept get better
and better. (see link)

Deaf Network of Texas mailing list started off with 300 subscribers
and it grew over 3,000 subscribers today. Its been amazing
experience he will never forget that many people think is email is
crazy and stupid. But he saw it full of opportunity for deaf
community.
He never dreams it would continue that long but he plan to continue
as long as demand is there. Hes blessing to have wonderful
supporters, advertisers and fans over years.
