Homepage is Where the Heart Is
During my period of un- and underemployment, AOL did away with their web hosting service, sending my fledgling home page and the small collection of html files I had there off into the aether. (Worry not; the ones worth having are still on my hard drive.) And while I conducted my search, I told myself that, once I had a source of disposable income, I would register a domain and put a new site up.
Now that I've reached this point, though, I'm wondering if it's really worth it. I mean, websites seem so Web 1.0 nowadays, what with all the kids being into their Twittering and Facebooking and interactive networking socially. I rarely visit the sites of my writer friends, and in more than a few cases, those friends update their sites with even less frequency. Add to that my very rudimentary html skillz, my general lack of information which requires a fixed and semi-permanent web home, and my relative lack of promotable product,... I have to ask if it doesn't make just as much sense to forget building williamleisner.com and just use other sites for informational dissemination.
Thoughts?
