I'll be totally honest here.

AL POP started off as an easy and short email address, instead of al19863i@anywhere.net, I created al@alpop.co.uk (short and sweet).

The second thing that AL POP became was a site to display the websites that I have created. Initially this was just for friends and family, but I didn't want to exclude the 78 squillion people out there on the net.

Finally I've decided to offer AL POP as a service. I've been creating websites for over 5 years, but never publically anounced this. Ta Daa, "I create websites".
