Post
I recently designed and coded a website for a friend who wanted to start their own “luxury products” weblog. Unfortunately (for both of us), they no longer have enough time to write for it and left me with a site that I have no idea how to write for.
After a few failed auction attempts (at prices well below its worth), I have decided to put My Refined up for grabs right here. While it was a rush job and I didn’t have much time to do any actual design, the site certainly isn’t ugly and is at least coded well.
Leave a comment with why you think you should get this website and I’ll give it to you (domain and all), bonus points for anyone who makes a donation to a charity for it.

The Atheist's Purpose
As a lot of the content on this site suggests, I’m an atheist. Being an atheist can be a bit contentious, as many find the lack of an explicit purpose or codified moral laws wrong. So, I’d like...

Oh, and why is your CSS still in place?! It’s Naked Day!

Also I’m very poor so the domain would be a godsend.
I could make a small donation to a charity, I think, although I work for a non-profits arts organization so a donation through my org would, I think, be more valuable…

If you want to see what my site looks like without CSS go to “View” > “Page Style” > “No Style” in Firefox. Trust me, my code is fine :D

My Refined is a really well designed Web site that’s ready to rock. And while I can’t say I wouldn’t reconsider the way the type of content that is created on the site, I would say that the opportunity to start somewhere (I haven’t even really done much to establish my own personal Web space) that’s got a base sounds awesome.
Also, I haven’t donated to Camp Sunshine in a while and I used to volunteer there, so I’ll make a donation should I get this site.
So, in short, please consider me.

I don’t have much to offer, like the other folks on here, I love coding and experimenting with new domains all the time.
I’d give the site a good home and my only promise is to not turn it into a spam site or overly advertised influenced site.
That’s all I can offer.

think freecycle, but local charities get the profit.
Your site would make a perfect online presence for them. contact me if you want more information…

I am an artist who isn’t to great with the whole “coding” thing. Something like this would be an excellent solution to alot of the issues I am struggling with right now.
I would definatly be intrested in it so long as you would give me permission to make some style adjustments to it eventually.

Now, I have been blogging at a few different sites, (mahix2.com the most) for a few years now, but have never really been able to find a cool topic/genre to really get into. Then recently I read Thomas Stanley’s book, The Millionaire Mind, which is based on Dr. Stanley’s exhaustive research of all things millionaire. That book really got me excited about my personal “quest towards financial freedom,” and My Refined would be a great place where I could chronicle a mixture of the scene of the good life, and my personal stories of trying to get there.
Finally, thinking about how I could scrape up a couple extra bucks for a charitable donation (I’m a broke college student for 2 more months) I realized that it would only be fitting that ANY and ALL revenues generated through the (ie Amazon or other affiliate programs for product reviews or even possibly an AdSense account) would be donated directly to MakePovertyHistory.org.
I look forward to seeing where this ends up!

I don’t like your design of food. But I bet you can come up with a whole new design!
