I don't think I would have ever been interested in creating websites in high school unless I had a purpose for creating them. Mine just happened to be that I needed a place to share the stats from the equipment / weapons on the Star Wars MUD my friends all played, so Geocities was my first entry into running websites. From there I made a personal website, then eventually started tinkering around with Wordpress which helped with publishing. All the while picking up little tidbits along the way to help make the sites look better. (And of course it was important to customize your myspace page) Eventually I decided to start officesnapshots.com because it was quite natural to start a website for fun and 8 years later it is my full-time job. All that said, having a reason to create a website was what got me started.
