So launching a new web site can, in no particular order, be tedious, fun and exciting. It is fun during the development process to see the site come together and start taking on a life of its own.

What is more fun is to actually launch the site on time. It has been a while since I lunched a website (well, something that I have developed and not used prefabbed templates). Langorang (the language news site) was my first (since I started the home projects again) over a year ago.

I have had sites die, some are just moving along gradually (very gradually) building traffic. Others still will never be seen as a development of mine again. Gone are the days of owning 20 or 30 domain names hoping that I will build a site for each.

I have settled down and started working on one site or idea at a time. I have committed to only launching a site if there is a way to effectively manage it and I have finally gotten the instant-millionaire idea out of my head. One of my former employers used to say that it took 15 years for him to become an overnight success. I think I finally understanding them meaning of consistency over time multiplied by God. Took me long enough.

So, finally, after 10 months of development, 5 computer reformats, 1 hard drive crash and a complete rewrite of the original concept, I am proud to launch Championship Wrestling Online.TV (CWOL.TV).

CWOL.TV is a social networking site that allows professional wrestling fans host their own promotion. Each promotion comes complete with tools to manage live events, matches, wrestlers, titles, pictures, and videos.

The site just launched yesterday and the code is still in its infancy. I know there will be a lot of work to do if any significant amount of traffic starts to show up but for now I am enjoying the latest fruits of my labor.
