Personal Web Page
Personal web pages are World Wide Web web pages created by an individual to contain content of a personal nature rather than on behalf of a company, organization or institution. Personal web pages are often used solely for informative or entertainment purposes.
Also often used interchangeably with the term "personal web page" are the terms; "personal web site", "personal home page", or most commonly just "home page". These terms do not usually refer to just a single "page" or HTML file, but to a collection of pages and related files under a common URL or Web address. In strictly technical terms, a site's actual home page (index page) often only contains sparse content with some interesting or catchy introductory material and serves mostly as a pointer or table of contents to the content-rich pages inside, such as résumés, family, hobbies, family genealogy, a blog, opinions, online journals and diaries or other writing, work, sound clips, movies, photos, or other interests. Many personal pages only include information of interest to friends and family of the author.
