So I want to make a well-designed personal site like Paul Graham's : http://www.paulgraham.com. How do I go about doing it ? Where do I start ?

Hyperanalyze what it means to be you, have an identity crisis, weep for three days, and work from there.

I only have good things to say about Namecheap, so that might be a good place to start.

Searched for my name on Namecheap and found that it was available. Then I made a payment of $29.95 USD to DomainAgents Platform Inc and made an offer of $199 USD to buy the domain name CaiGengyang.com. Now I am just waiting for the owner to either accept,counter or decline my offer ...

You do realise that those links are to your private inbox which we can't see?

Also, I honestly don' t think the website you mentioned is well designed.

What error message do you get when you click on it ?

As for the design of the website , I wasn't responsible for that ... I wouldn't say the design is fantastic, but it's functional, it serves its purpose for it's users ...

My offer to buy my own domain name was just rejected and my money refunded. This is weird, I sent a reply email asking why was my offer canceled and waiting for reply ...
