Why "Land Of Delight"?
Leelanau is the land of delight, and it's the county I work in. But there's more to it than that.
I registered the landofdelight.com domain a number of years ago when I realized a couple of things:
- The lyrics to the Leelanau Theme Song were nowhere on the Web.
- No-one had yet claimed the name "LandOfDelight.com".
- At the time, if you used your favorite search engines to search for information about Cherry Pie, you'd get a lot of search results for sites that are, well, lets just say they're off-topic. I realized there needs to be a link to a place that will ship a nice, fresh Cherry Pie to you in a pinch. Happily, the Grand Traverse Pie Co. already had this covered.
- The phrase "land of delight" could have similar problems...so I coughed up the fee and registered the name. (Recently, the search engines have started doing a better job with double-entendre phrases like these).
Not one to rest on my laurels, I've since built some extra features for the site:
-
