Personal Sites

A personal web site is a non-commercial web site managed by a single individual. The typical motive in creating such a site is to share interesting information and ideas. The "personal" in personal web site should not be taken to mean personal information. Publishing information such as family pictures, date of birth, etc. can be very dangerous. Creating a good web site requires time and effort. A good web site is not about graphics, and fancy layout. It is about high quality content. High quality content is information that many people are likely to find useful. Such information takes the form of tutorials, interesting articles, fascinating images, and the like. No one can come up with high quality content overnight. In the future personal web sites will have an increasingly important role in our lives. Individuals and employers will depend on them to make decisions. People who have invested time and effort in creating interesting web sites will have a distinct advantage over people who expended their efforts elsewhere.
