Why have a web site?
Personal web sites often serve only to display family pictures (example).
I began with two goals - to provide public info from a Darwin Day talk and to present professional information. Making pages is easy. I was hooked.
I then made pages on creationism (hobby) and buying books on the internet - something I do often. I found a curious pamphlet and put cover and contents online
Web pages organize links better than windows "favorites". For example see news links, search URLs, and weather links. Links are convenient, easily modified, available on the road, and safe from drive failure. I routinely "pirate" links from other sites and move links up or down the page as usage changes. My site is duplicated on the C drive. Most personal use is "local".
Recently I posted solutions to my computer problems (example, example). Judging by hits, these are useful. If everyone did this, computer life would be easy.
I put my camera manual online. The original is in three languages and awkward to use.
I sometimes reproduce "volatile" internet stories (example). So far nobody has complained.
I almost forgot - you can link to Slugo and Slugo boards
Links create networks, making the web format more facile than word processing which creates only lists.
My site is my personal encyclopedia. I add what's useful, delete what's not and improve what's there.
