I had personal homepages for my practicum assignment. I didn't think it would be too difficult since I have experience in HTML coding from middle school. I assumed it would come back to me like riding a bike. I didn't come back that easily and I had to research coding tips online. After I got the grasp of that, I struggled with the My WebSpace website. It was frustrating with the lack of instructions that were given how to upload an HTML file to their server. I had to do some educated guessing and figured it out. However, once I uploaded the file, it wouldn't show up as as a website, only as the code. I have no idea what went wrong, and neither did Liz. It's still dysfunctional.
I'm not too excited about trying to get people to visit my website because I can't picture making a really exciting website about myself and not having too many options in terms of space for commenting, feedback, or interaction. I plan to link people to my Facebook and Twitter to find out more about me but I don't want my personal homepage to only be a "transfer point" so to speak.
I'm curious, if you had the knowledge of HTML and website formation, would you choose to make your own webpage or stick to modern social networking websites that structure the information you submit?
