Coordinate All Your Online Aspects in to One Master Portrait

How many different web sites do your family and friends visit to keep up with your online life? Do they watch for your hourly updates on Twitter, and get your daily status reports on Facebook? Do they visit your blogs on BlogSpot, WordSmith, or LiveJournal? Does Photobucket have some of your pictures, and SnapFish the others? Do you have a wiki somewhere that hosts your best recipes, or instructions for your amazing hobby projects? With your life’s details scattered across so many websites, it’s amazing anyone pays attention any more. Perhaps a central personal website on a shared web hosting service is the answer.

A personal website can draw all these threads of your life in to one simple central location and allow your friends and family to experience all aspects of your life from one site. By leasing space on a shared web hosting server for a minimal expense, you can control exactly the content and access you allow people. You can feed all the various social sites, blogs, and content servers in to one comprehensive picture, and create a mosaic of your experiences, instead of splatters of colour here and there across the Internet.

By using small web-based apps you can create an online scrapbook of your experiences to share with those who love you. Each app can feed your life posts, blogs, and media to the central page, with a unified look defined and created by you. Web sites are easily designed using freely available creative tools. Many are called What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editors, which acts exactly as they sound, which enable you to create your site and the editor creates all the technical code ‘behind the scenes’. Incorporating graphics, unique fonts, colours, and personal images hosted on your shared web hosting server means everything appears where and how you want them to.

All of this technology is useless if people are only seeing one small part or aspect of your story or experience. By incorporating every aspect in to one cohesive whole, easily accessed through one web site, you’re showing loved ones exactly who you are and what you are experiencing. As more of them are inspired by your creative efforts, they’ll share themselves online as well, and you can work with them to incorporate shared experiences and media, to create a masterwork of both your online experiences and theirs on your shared web hosting site.
