Dana International is an Israeli pop singer, famous transsexual and winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1998.

There is a page about her on wikipedia, boring profiles on facebook and myspace, a youtube channel, an official site in flash (with skip intro link) under the .co.il TLD. And a gorgeous site at the WestHollywood neighborhood made by her fan Juri Said.

Beside other beautiful features the site contains an outstanding navigation of 20 gems.

Fans’ web pages are always better than official ones. No surprise. Juri Said has found the right words to explain why:

“Am I a fan? Surely I enjoy Dana’s music and performance and certainly will make sure that any new CDs will promptly find their way to my collection, however that in itself is not sufficient reason for opening a homepage. […] Well than what is left, is the question whether I am shouting I love you all over the networks out of some unrealistic expectation to have the message received and acknowledged. […] I consider it perfectly ligit to use the Internet as medium on which to express once true feelings.”

Hey there! Well, obviously I am terribly
new to the art of background creation, but I
thought “What the heck?! Somebody, somewhere
might find something to use!”
If you find something you like, by all means
TAKE IT!!!
I won’t require a link back, but would be
interested if you e-mail me with the URL that
you use them on because I would LOVE
to see them in their new home!!

I hope you found someting useful. Hopefully, I will be able to create some more. Theoretically, my next batch should be better.(Practice, you know!)

In 1998 Juan José Castillos, director of the Uruguayan Institute of Egyptology, registered juanjosecastillos on Geocities and informed the rest of the world about his and his colleagues’ activities and publications.

A great example of the academic world being translated into web vernacular.
