How I 1st notice Love Hewitt
was back in the fall of 1995. I saw Love Hewitt on the beginning
of the 2nd season of "Party Of 5".
I kept saying to myself as to where I've seen her before. I never
really saw her past work before, until that part of time in 95'.
Since then, I wanted to know more about her. The more I kept
looking, the more I realized that I'm becoming a big fan of hers.
I did get a chance to meet Love Hewitt when the cast of Po5 went
to Universal Studios Hollywood in Feb. 96'. Unfortunately, it
was too hard to get a real close (face-to-face) encounter with
her, due to the enormous crowd. I did got her attention for just
a moment, and was able to give her a little gift that I brought
along to give to her. During the interviews, I heard a question
from some fan asking them if they read email, or view the internet
or something. And when I left in the early evening, I went to
a computer store, bought a computer, and there was the beginning
of an idea for me to start out on the WWW.
In the spring of 1996, I
started 1st to explore the WWW, and did some searching on Love
Hewitt. The 1st website I came across was called "Love Hewitt Online" created by Randall
Krause. The next one was called "A
Brief Jennifer Love Hewitt Gallery" created by Jonathan
S Kui. By searching through these web sites, and others that
started to form later that year like "Inside
Love Hewitt (became Love Access in 97')", I realized
that I wanted to be a part of this growing group of web fans
to Love Hewitt. Then that's when "A
Tribute to Love" comes to the WWW, which started
on Feb. 21st, 1997 (In honor of Love's 18th B-Day).

As far as I can remember,
my web page had the largest collection of JLH images on the net
(Approximately 500 images or more), large biography, collection
of links, even multimedia files, up until May 1998. "LoveHewitt.com" was created that
month, and then became #1 very quickly. It was created by Hawkmoon,
and several others that joined in. Another good page that came
up was "Love Hewitt Live",
and others that kept coming and coming online. I'm not the type
that was competing for #1. I just wanted to continue to make
my page grow even more. After all, I'm only one man with a large
web page on Love Hewitt. But then, an error occurred. Bandwidth
increased too high because of too many visits on my site, as
well as other JLH lower sites linking there stuff to my URL's
sources on my server, and increasing my monthly fees to over
$200 a month. And I didn't even know about CGI-BIN scripts that
could've help prevented that in some way. But it was too late.
At that event, "A Tribute to Love"
went offline sometime after 7/3/98. A sad ending to a good site.
After I realize that I couldn't
afford to keep up with web page, I decided to call it quits,
after being on the WWW for about a year an a half. But then,
I'd received several emails from fans about my website. They're
asking me what happened, why I left, and if I'm coming back.
I'd never received responses like this before. So then, I used
most of the materials I saved from my old site, and created a
new one at a free place called Fortunecity. I then decided to
call my 2nd site "The Love Gallery:
A Tribute to LOVE Returns" (became active to the
WWW on 7/31/98). Even though my web space was limited to 20MB,
compared to Simplenet (which was unlimited), I still did pretty
good. I had a good gallery section, bio page, links, and other
misc. sections on my page. Even up to this
time, I still host this page as well, and will continue to do
so. Now, with many new opportunities surfaced on free
web servers, I've found a new server that'll help me expand even
more. So now begins my 3rd new site:
