Nice video integration and overal look.

Project of your own?
Do you do webdesign projects only for yourself or for hire as well?

I have a domain that screams for development

I did not develop myself - I used outside developers! Thank you for asking though.

If it is not too much trouble, can you share with us those steps you took in developing your site? For example, were you a developer that picked up the site or did you simply contribute the URL as part of a partnership with a developer/designer. I think many of us are curious about the ways other members are going about getting their sites developed by competent people.

I am neither a developer nor am I part of a partnership. I sketched out the site by hand myself but then hired an off-shore developer to build the site. I have an "intern" type to call candidates, tape videos, etc.

The obvious downside of this approach is that it costs $.

Yes, national.tv is mine also, I have quite a few others as well that I would ultimately like to build out "below" national.tv, but, one thing at a time...

Everyone else: Thank you for the kind words. The challenge remains as with most .tv sites - how do you generate traffic in the short term - even a great name like this has limited type-in traffic, so, unless we build PR, SEO, partnerships, etc, we will just sit there (so please tell your friends/family! LOL).

This is the fundamental challenge and opportunity with .tv - you can get started less expensively (I can't imagine what election(s).com would cost) but then with the saved money from not buying the .com, you have to find a way to make the site viable and accepted...
