ABSTRACT

A personal Web page is created by an individual who may or may not be affiliated with a larger institution. Personal pages often are used to showcase an individual’s artistic talents, express personal views on a topic, or highlight a favorite hobby or pastime. A personal page can stand alone or be a part of a social networking site like Facebook or MySpace. Actually, blogs can also be considered a unique type of personal page. See Chapter 4 for a more detailed discussion of blogs and other forms of social media.
