Lots of various social networks provide huge possibilities to share different types of content. We create our profiles and immediately may follow our friends and colleges. After publishing something we get the feedback rather fast from our contacts. Messengers as well now provide similar experience. We shop on social networks, search for information and read news. Presence on the Internet doesn’t require any technical skills.

On the other hand, tuning of social network profiles is limited: standard profile address, design and functionality. Any picked social network profile looks the same as others and gets lost among them.

Creating a separate home page is a more tricky process which provides freedom of choice: how to organize the web-site, what kind of functionality to add, how elements of the web-page should look, etc. From the technical perspective possibilities are limited only by skills and imagination. Migration is a case of switching web-hosting or implementation most likely will be clear because of access to raw data: files and databases. Personal web-sites can be constantly being improved and be started as simple static pages.

I already worked on a couple of own web-sites (not taking into account blogs and those from early years at school), but, probably because I wanted them to pretend to be more valuable, I didn’t call them “Home Page”. And now I would like to create one starting with a WordPress blog.
