The Woman Behind the Website
Danelle Ice is the owner of IS World Media. She is the creator and editor of Home Ever After and the rest of the IS Media Blog Network. She is a writer, blog expert, problogger, and business owner in Fairbanks, Alaska. Web design, custom graphics, public relations and social media marketing make up just a few aspects of her daily routine. Her writing is currently in syndication around the globe.
Ice’s two decades of writing go hand in hand with her never-ending quest for knowledge. Her topics include organization, frugal living, time management, personal finance, parenting, home economy, self-improvement, holidays, clean eating and exercise, online gaming, and many more.
Ice is known as “the Systemizer” for her strong belief that systems make the difference in any environment, whether it is home or business. “Systems allow good people to be great by taking the guesswork out of the mundane so your time is free for more important things,” she says. She has served as a change agent for several large corporations, revamping systems to make things run faster, cheaper, and more efficiently.
Where Did the Name "Home Ever After" Come From?
The original name of this website was "Homemaker Barbi". Ice and her husband are both avid online PC gamers, playing MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft (both have multiple level 71+ characters of various classes- w00t!).
"Barbi" was a nickname given to Ice by her guild in World of Warcraft to represent several of her characters. She was a contributing writer to the guild’s website, offering an educational tips column on the forums to teach players how to use the economy in the game. Ice wrote the column as "AuctionBarbi".
That name was the inspiration for later formulating the name of IS World Media’s HomemakerBarbi.com site. The name was changed in August 2009 to "Home Ever After" to more accurately reflect its content as a Home and How To magazine.
