Personal Web pages are a great way to get your mind off your work. You can put up a blog, post pictures of your cat, or just practice new designs. But many Web designers don't have a lot of free time to maintain their own Web site. Or, if it's your job, it might not be fun to do it in your off hours as well. Do you build Web pages for fun? Or is this just a job?

I do have a personal web page. no, wait, there’s more than one… if my application website, inofficial fan pages and club websites do count, that is.

I love to build web pages and my private ones get a new layout from time to time and are updated as often as possible - at least the fan page is, so people stay informed about my favourite actor.

I do have a personal website, and it gets updated almost regularly. Most of the time I have nothing to say, so I just post my personal stuff on there. But it’s fun, none te less. And I get about 40 visitors each day.. which I find quite much for a small thing like mine.

Oh well… see ya

I see the others didn’t leave their URLs for viewing. I’ll start, then:

I visited them, Chris, and they are alike. Isn’t that redundant? :D Provocative questions, tho.

Only one question for Irene: if it is personal, why would you ever put it on the Internet? Isn’t that like telling someone else a secret, then hoping they’ll keep it when you DIDN’T? Just wondering…it’s your life.

I have a domain. Parts of it are static (like the root-level index page) and in great need of an overhaul. Various subdomain areas within it get constant attention until they reach a completed state. These let me try new design and coding ideas.

Latest is the camping blog:

I have a personal website, I mainly talk about web design and programming on it, and in the future I plan on integrating my current personal blog into it, and add a system through which comments can be added. Of course, it will be awhile before it gets there.

Just recently I recoded the entire site, brand new layout that has a lot of potential, especially when combining PHP with JavaScript and HTML.

It doesn’t look 100% great, but good enough, considering I am pretty new to web development.

I have a domain that I’m using as “development domain” and am working on a portfolio site at this time.
