Personal Web Page

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.

Famous quotes containing the words personal, web and/or page:

    “Keep your own secret, and get out other people’s. Keep your own temper, and artfully warm other people’s. Counterwork your rivals with diligence and dexterity, but at the same time with the utmost personal civility to them: and be firm without heat.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There is then creative reading as well as creative writing. When the mind is braced by labor and invention, the page of whatever book we read becomes luminous with manifold allusion. Every sentence is doubly significant, and the sense of our author is as broad as the world.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
