SkateLog (Skating In Pakistan) in Pakistan Directory

 

Articles and photos of Inline events in Pakistan. Editor Kathie Fry, SkateLog.com is edited and hosted by Kathie Fry, editor of the Roller Skating Open Directory at Dmoz.org and former editor of the inline skating Web site at About.com (Kathie edited the About.com skating site for four years, from 1999 through 2003, when she had to resigned because SkateLog.com was growing fast and requiring more and more of her time). Kathie travels all over the world to attend skating events, meet the local skaters, and learn about fun places to skate. She writes mostly for her own Web sites, but many of her articles have also appeared in hard copy magazines. For photos of Kathie and information about how to contact her see Kathie Fry of Venice Beach California. Web Site History, This Web site first appeared on the Internet in May of 1999, and at that time it was known as SkateGRRL.com. The domain name was changed to SkateLog.com in November of 2002. A forum was added to the site in the summer of 2003. At that time, a decision was made to give the forum its own domain name, so the forum associated with SkateLog.com is located at AskAboutSkating.com. What Happened to SkateGRRL? The name of this Web site was changed from SkateGRRL.com to SkateLog.com in 2002 because - as cool as the name SkateGRRL is - it was not a perfect domain name. Some of the reasons the name was changed: (a) many people thought SkateGRRL was a girl skating or aggressive skating Web site, (b) GRRL is suppose to mean tough girl but that meaning is not well-known outside of the Internet, (c) people tended to avoid pronouncing GRRL because they were not certain of the correct pronounciation, (d) GRRL does not mean much to the non-English speaking community, and (e) people could not remember the name SkateGRRL.com, and they often ended up on other Web sites that are spelled differently that... well, lets just say they were Web sites we would not want our name to be associated with. SkateGRRL will eventually be resurrected as either a girl skater Web site or perhaps a central hub for all of Kathie Frys Web sites.
