I was wondering how many here have their own web site. and if so what is the reason? business, job related, personal? do you sell things, blog, give advice? or jsut to post photos and keep up with family and friends? Do you pay a web master or id you build it yourself? do you pay for hosting or use a free site? how often do you update it? Thanks for sharing

I have my own web site and it is an online gallery. I use it to sell my paintings, my photomanipulations and the cards that I have made. It is not a free site so I pay for hosting. It is very easy to use the site, and I used to update it quite often. I usually add new pictures of paintings etc, but as I am too busy to paint at the moment I haven't had any new pictures to add for quite some time. I don't know much about web sites so I chose a site which was very easy to use, but I would like to learn to make my own site someday.

Hi Porcospino, nice to know that you are an artist. Actually I represent various artists here in India. I am keen to sell their paintings overseas. Do you have any connections with mediocre galleries who can sell the paintings of my artist, or any other suggestion you can give for their sale. Send me pm.

Hello, doulaworks! I do not have my own website. But I would like to. However, I am still not good enough in HTML. And, while I was studying it, I found out that websites nowadays are using a much more complex language, called Javascript, and learning it by myself is not the best choice. I'd like to have somebody to teach me, because learning by myself will take a loooooooong while. And, yet, I do not have a subject if I had any website. What would it be about? Respectfully, Munhozmib.

Hi There! Well, not really, I guess… but my boyfriend created a website for me, it has all our pictures and stuff about myself… it is my personal website that I really like. I don’t update it though since I don’t know how to code that stuff… It is not a GUI like, you need to manually code it. But I really love that site.. I will ask how can I update it from time to time. But the site that I am maintaining right now is my multiply site. It is not a paid social networking site… it contains photos of me and my life there… it is my site… hehehe…. I have plans of buying a domain for my site so that I can create one for myself... but I was thinking of just learning how to enhance the site that my boyfriend did cause he is the one who designed it and I like it... it is unique! Happy Mylotting and Merry Christmas! Cheers!

I have my own blog - and I update it religiously. I put things that piss me off, and things that make my day :) I like writing about the cool and the funny and the utterly stupid. The blog isn't for my family, more like for me and everyone else that shares my interests and who are bored online and would like to see interesting bits that I come across :P

I have my own website, I built it myself even though a web builder offered to do one for me for free but I wanted to do one myself as it is a tribute page for a very special friend of mine who passed away, I guess my first attempt was pretty raw as I the only progam I could understand was Wors on my computer, even though people told me I couldn't do a website in Word...well I did,...and I am very proud of it...I pay for hosting and I update it whenever i have new things to put on it as many people have contributed to it as the person I did it on was very well known in my country....

Yes, I have my own web site. It is a personal one that I made a few years ago to share with my friends and family. I put it together myself and use a free site. I'm terrible about keeping it updated though. I haven't bothered with it in over a year, I think! Since I became a member of myspace I haven't bothered updating my web site. I really should get to it one of these days.

Hi, doulaworks. Besides my social networking website, i don't have my own website. I have already registered one blog for myself, but i always half hearted, i didn't write anything yet. Every time i'm just lazy to write something.
