What I learned on Computer Subject

I learned how to create a personal website and I learned what is personal website is. Personal web pages are World Wide Web pages created by an individual to contain content of a personal nature rather than on behalf of an employer or institution. Personal web pages are often used solely for informative or entertainment purposes.
The content of personal web pages varies. Many contain biographical information, résumés, and blog posts. Many personal pages will include information about the author's hobbies, interests and information of interest only to friends and family of the author. Many people maintain personal web pages because they are the most effective medium to express their opinions or creative endeavours that, otherwise, simply would not have an outlet. This type of site may contain short fiction such as short stories or samples of artwork. Othernetizens view the concept of a personal web page with a more metaphysical bent, placing value in the concept of owning space in and "residing" in cyberspace and on the World Wide Web. Some people also make a website in hopes of becoming famous on the internet. This can also extend to the ownership of personal domain names and the associated personal web pages and e-mail addresses connected to those domains, although with the advent of affordable web hosting fewer people own or manage their own personal servers. In the past, a personal home page would usually be hosted on free web space included with an ISP account, or on a free hosting service such as Geocities. These services would typically include web-based site management and pre-configured scripts to easily integrate a contact form or guestbook into the user's site. Since the early 2000s, the rise of blogging eased the creation of personal web pages further, with blogging platforms like LiveJournal and Blogger providing an attractive and easy-to-use CMS. While blogging remains popular, today many casual internet users tend to rely on free services provided by social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, or MySpace to perform the same functions they used to maintain a personal web page for.
