Personal vs professional

What should your website do for you?

Variety of posts as a way to liberate you from the obligations / confines of one type of post

Time to first note on a personal website

From silos:

  • quantifications
  • activity over time (sparkline-boom after Nürnberg)

How to make the home-page more "timeless"

creative constraints, e.g. in limited silo layouts or templates can be useful

How would you judge success of a homepage?

  • I am impressed?
  • Others are impressed?
  • Getting across the most amount of information?
  • An expression of who I am?

On your personal page you can do crazy things

  • interactive header images etc
  • keep old styles (https://adactio.com/ has stylesheet switcher, tanteks old page (link?) had different CSS for different months, with current experiments)
