A personal website also creates personal pressure. I asked on Twitter for examples of great personal websites, and Mel Choyce recommended Susan Lin’s incredible site which demonstrates how a personal site can show personality and a stunning aesthetic while also covering the professional stuff. One of the benefits of having your own personal site is that you can make your personal site a tracking-free haven for your site’s visitors. We’ve got to take control back bit by bit, and building our own personal websites is a start. Your own personal site might be a personal thing, but a community and culture of personal sites could make a significant difference.
