Geeky Valentines

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and you probably already know who to tell about your feelings. Traditionally, declarations of love on this day are accompanied by valentines, small gifts, candy, and flowers. But what if your significant other is a geek, and such gifts aren't appropriate?

The best Valentine's Day card I ever received was from my husband, when we had no plans to be together. We lived in different cities, and on the morning of February 14th, I received a message with a link to a website. There, a fun quest with pictures and questions awaited me, and at the end, a holiday greeting. Three years have passed, we are now married, but we still continue to give each other interesting "real" and virtual surprises.

For example, on the anniversary of our meeting, I made a website withthe history of our relationshipSince I am not a designer and do not like setting up hosting at all, I had to look for a quick and not very complicated solution: I registered a domain, set upGitHub PagesTo host the site on GitHub, I found a free page design template based onBootstrapand filled it. The site was ready in 2 days.

Such a simple virtual gift evoked the most genuine and warm emotions. Isn't that the most important thing? :)

Valentine's Day Ideas

• A website with a declaration of loveRegister a domain, order hosting, and create a website page with your confession. This can be text, an image, or even a video. If you don't want to mess with hosting, try setting up a domain onGitHub Pagesor one ofblog services.
• Mail with his/her name.It might look like this:ostap@vyshnia​.​uaYou will need a domain and a little patience toits settings.
• Personal blog.Your significant other may be passionate about something special or simply enjoy writing about their life every day. A personal blog as a gift will show that you support their interests. Register a suitable domain, set up hosting with a blog engine (for example,Jekyll or "Aegeus”) or point the domain to one ofblog services(for example, Tumblr.com).
• Domain.As strange as it may sound, a domain is also a gift :) For example, it can bedirect to profileyour loved one on a social network, and later help create a website, blog, or set up email.

The domain name for such valentines can be thematic. For example, for a website with a relationship history, I chose a domainour-voyage.comBut don't forget about interesting domains like .ME or .US, they can be used well on a day like this.
