Per-Bast.org: The Domain of Bast


credits & site info

Those I Thank
This site was built with a combination of web-authoring tools, though the ones I used the most was UltraEdit and notepad. FrontPage 98 was sometimes employed for tricky table design, however on the whole the author only recommends that product if you have no desire to learn the inner workings of HTML and don't mind dealing with the dumb things that FP98 tries to do to your code.

Graphics created with JASC PaintShopPro and two products from Adobe: PhotoShop and ImageStyler.

Design was inspired by a great number of sites, including glassdog.WEB PRODUCT, The Fray, f l a u n t, and High Five. Style sheet info was drawn from the 'Dog and W3.org.

Some really great sites with tutorials or HTML information include Eve's Realm HTML Color Chart, HTML Goodies, BigNoseBird.com, and MetaCrawler (my search engine of choice).

My mothers are the reason this site exists. My fathers also contributed to the project collectively known as "Stephanie", and one cannot forget my various grandfolks. Dua-Netjer-en-tjen!

Finally, many thanks to Andy Finkenstadt, whose expertise with the site's hardware and server software was what made this possible, and Rev. Tamara Siuda (AUS), whose understanding of Egyptian religion and culture was invaluable.

Why Call It Per-Bast?
The site name--Per-Bast--is based on Middle Egyptian hieroglyphs for the city that was known to the Greeks as Bubastis (PiBeseth in the Old Testament Bible). "Per" was a word that can be translated as "Domain", the hieroglyph of which can be seen embracing the text boxes on these pages. "Bast" was the name of the chief local divinity, a female feline-headed goddess who I've written about extensively in my Bast section of the site. Since this was going to be an Internet domain about Bast, I thought the name appropriate. Ironic, even. Don't you think?

Though I hate to admit it, this site really does look better with Internet Explorer version 4.0 or higher.
