UBBDev: How did you get started in graphics and web design? GlassRattler: I just jumped in a few months ago and started swinging.
UBBDev: What tools do you use to create your artwork and web sites? GlassRattler: The program of choice right now is Macromedia Fireworks 4.
UBBDev: Your site looks great. What was your main reason for starting it? GlassRattler: Last hockey season I was posting on a poorly run and UGLY hockey board, and I just thought surely I can make a nicer place to play.

UBBDev: What is your favorite beverage to enjoy when working on your site? GlassRattler: Ice Water
UBBDev: Hehehe, kind of fitting. What inspired you to make your website the way it is? GlassRattler: I see a bunch of website out there that unless you read every thread, you can't tell what the board is really about, so I tried to carry a hockey theme though-out my whole website. So everyone will know, this is a hockey board.
UBBDev: What is your favorite color? GlassRattler: Red (but that wouldn't look good on a Hockey Board) so I guess, I will say Blue.
UBBDev: Do you have any advice for those just starting to make their own website? GlassRattler: No not really, since I am just getting started myself, How about, don't be affraid to try and have fun with it.
UBBDev: What drew you to UBBDev as one of your hangouts? GlassRattler: 5 months ago when GlassRattler was still an ideal, I started checking out a few of the board companies and came across the UBBDev showcase, after seeing a few site like Clan 3:16 and Netwerkin, I signed right up and bought me a UBB.
UBBDev: What are your plans for the future? Where will your site be 5 years from now? GlassRattler: GlassRattler has grown at a really good pace, this month I will get over 400,000 views and should get close to the 1000 member mark, So where will it be 5 years from now? Who Knows?
Thank you GlassRattler. Your site is great and you add a lot to the UBBDev community.
