7 Reasons For A Personal Website

Having a website of your own equals entering into an invaluable communication environment. There are at least 7 reasons why it is highly advisable for you to be present online:

1. Represents your personal profile

A website can be your virtual portrait, showing off your personal self to the world on a 24/7 basis.  Among the most popular ways of presenting your personality online is keeping a webblog (otherwise known as online diary) or a photo gallery, where your friends can stay up-to-date with your daily living.

2. Spreads your voice across the world

A website can be your global “tribune” where you are able to share your knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with people who have common interests, but with whom you might not otherwise have crossed paths. A very popular idea-voicing tool is the discussion board, better known as “forum”. You can also have a guestbook on your site, where people can discuss your postings.

3. Lets you be in touch with people at a distance

A website can be a meeting place for making new acquaintances with people of different religion, nationality and age, as well as for keeping in touch with friends who may be on the other side of the world. Thanks to the almost unlimited online communication possibilities you can conduct one-to-one conversations with many different people directly from your website.

4. Broadens disabled people’s interaction with the world

A website empowers people with limited access, due to handicap or illness, to broaden their communication with others. A website can be a physically disabled person’s door to the dynamic world, allowing him/her to bridge over the difficulties of having a “different” everyday life. It can even be their office, where they can present and deliver certain home-made products/services directly from their living room.

5. Creates a web skill development environment

A website can introduce you to the secrets of www. The contemporary web design technologies have brought the art of creating a website just a few clicks away from the inexperienced user. Thanks to the popular WYSWYG(what you see is what you get) web design tools, absolutely everyone (irrespective of age or education degree) can build their own web page without any previous experience.

6. Makes extra profit for you with minimum investment on your part

A website can make residual profit for you, while you are sleeping or enjoying your free time. Thanks to the up-to-date techniques for bringing traffic to your website, you can earn easy money by simply having visitors click on certain product/service promos or links that are relevant to your site content pages (e.g. Google Adsense/Adwords ad solutions) without any initial investment.

7. Makes you a member of the biggest community of the world

A website is a must-have personal attribute nowadays, just like mobile phones and computers are. The fast developing technologies have converted having a website from a whim into a modern necessity. As of today, almost everyone has a web site, whereas twice as many people are expected to be having their own personal space in the global World Wide Web cosmos in the near future. Be forward-thinking, join this trend now.

Animoto

Hey, have you heard of animoto?  I tried it today. I found it easy to use and fairly powerful.  Anybody can use it to create a free 30 second video.  Here’s the one I made: 1MB Corporation

Pretty easy to use and gives me a chance to try the video features of WordPress.  When you visit this site for the first time, you don’t see all of the little customizations that you go through when you set up the word press software.  So far, I still like it; although it would have been nicer to <EMBED> the video instead.  I guess that’s what the HTML button is for?

Oh yeah, and here’s the link to animoto.

So I was not really impressed with the wordpress video inserting.  I added the JetPack feature and hooked this site up to wordpress; apparently that lets me embed youtube videos directly inline.  Lets see:

…well isn’t that nifty. That one is much easier to read.

Cheers,

Online Journal for Jason C Freeman

I hope to use this site for posting articles and stories of funny things that happen to me.  Building the site using wordpress. So far so good.  I like the interface, editor and customizations have been pretty simple so far.  I like that it gives you direct control over the CSS and HTML.
