This is related to one of the reasons I like having a personal website. Countless times I’ve found answers or learned something cool from another’s personal website, and I hope that I can help other through my efforts.
The original article mentioned something about not being able to change the world through a personal website. You can have an impact in a persons life though, and I think that makes it worth it.
- BostonEnginerd 4y agoThis is the reason that I maintain my website. About once per year, someone will contact me regarding something I posted. I don't get very many hits on it, but it's quite gratifying if it saves someone time.
- tasuki 4y agoSame for me! I don't quite understand the author's framing of "brave knight fighting a battle against the commercial/corporate web"... Personal sites are what they are (usually more pleasant than the corporate), everyone is free to do what they want, I'm not forcing anyone to read my blog, nor is anyone forcing me to read corporate websites. Where is the battle?
