Create My Own Webpage

create my own webpage

I recently signed up for myspace so that I could create my own webpage. I thought it would be fun to have my own personal space to keep track of daily happenings by means of a blog, store and display favorite pictures and maybe even meet some new friends in cyberspace. I thought it would be a great way to keep in touch with friends back in Toronto, to keep them abreast of happenings here in Winnipeg, and to let them keep an eye on our kids as they grow and adapt to life in the Peg. However, I quickly got frustrated after only a couple of meager attempts to create my own webpage with myspace. I don't know what I was expecting - I guess I wanted the computer to somehow know my information and preferences without me having to key it all in. So yes, I chalk it up to being pretty darn lazy. I did manage to halfway complete my profile. However, I find that when I'm put on the spot to produce content, I always think of really lame interests, hobbies and favorites, and then I'm left kicking myself when I come across as a loser, a poser or even worse, just plain dull! I think the secret to success when I sit down to create my own webpage will be to plan it all out on paper before I sit down to key it in. And yes, that takes forethought and planning and I seem to be sorely lacking in those two particular departments.

I did have a personal blog page for a while. I liked this approach. I'm pretty good at blathering on about this, that and the next thing. Now here was a way to kill two birds with one stone - I'd found my creative outlet AND I would in the process create my own webpage. Unfortunately, the novelty wore off pretty quickly with that too and I ended up with an abandoned blog page with a mere handful of entries.

I don't know why the idea of having a webpage appeals to me so much. It's really just another responsibility to hang over my head along with all the others. Perhaps when I can dictate my own webpage just using my voice, I will be more inclined to make a go of it. Until then, I'm stuck with a lame, boring profile page, and empty friends list and what was that url again...???
