When I launched this website two and a half years ago (with the very able help of Brad Smith and his crew at Hot Pepper Studios) I naturally intended to put my name on it, only to find that the web address davidchelsea.com was already taken, by an Italian porn actor with the same name. Who knew? I had no choice but to settle for the more generic but available dchelsea.com, as well as a few variants like davidchelseainlove.com, and so it has been ever since. Well, good news- a few days ago my friend Jacob Mercy informed me that my namesake had relinquished his hold, and the domain name was once again available. One credit card payment to Godaddy.com later, the name was mine.
David Chelsea fans looking for my site can now skip Google and type my name directly in the address bar. What has become of the other David Chelsea is not known; but a Google search lists his “active years” as between 2002 and 2007, so presumably he is retired and has no further need of a website. My apologies to any Douglas, Donald, Daphne or Delia Chelseas out there, but I am hanging on to dchelsea.com as well; at this point the name is too firmly established to give up, and it’s the one listed in the bio in my new book Extreme Perspective!
