The Personal Page
Earlier this week I stumbled upon an article, detailing an “open source personal page”, created by San Francisco-based web designer Naz Hamid. I investigated a little further, and became interested in the concept. Most people who own a personal domain name will not actually link it to something like this - the usual redirection is to a blog or something similar, such as their Facebook profile. In my eyes, this concept is a great one - you can visit a person’s personal page, read a brief about them, and continue browsing through that person’s social stream.
I was so interested in the concept, that I created my own personal page. Previously, I have to admit I was one of the majority of people who redirect their personal domain name to some social profile - in my case it was my Flickr photostream. Now I have a personal page, where people can quickly learn about you, and then find you on social networking sites.
Because Naz has kindly released his template under the GPL/MIT open-source license, anyone is welcome to use the code to create there own personal webpage. If you’re interested, you can find the files on Github, and find Naz’s announcement article here.
Happy Coding.
