The purpose of creating a personal web page is to stake your claim in cyberspace.  Generally, personal web pages are like your desktop, containing the important things to you or providing access to those things which are important to you.  Typically, a person's desk is a combination of professional and personal items (e.g., dictionary, pictures of family members, phonebook, etc.).  It would not be unreasonable to assume that your personal home page will be similar.  If you get stuck anywhere, write to the class list and explain in detail what you have completed, where you are stuck, and what types of errors you are receiving when you do get stuck.

Typically, a person's desk is a combination of professional and personal items (e.g., dictionary, pictures of family members, phonebook, etc.).  It would not be unreasonable to assume that your personal home page will be similar.  Remember that whatever information you provide on your web page can potentially be accessed by anyone in the world with Internet access.  It is customary to always provide your name and your email address.  Additional components may be included if you wish, this is your personal expression. 

Web pages are considered to be dynamic, in that they are always (or frequently) changing.  The ability to publish a web page easily is one of the advantages of publishing information to the web and one reason that web pages are continually changing, or evolving.  Your personal web page will be a "work in progress" in that you will first publish a basic page and in later weeks you will probably revise and develop your personal web page.
