Hi All, quick question.
How many of us have our own website or do we simply rely on our works at various URLs as our online presence?
Do you all still have personal websites?

#3I still have my own website, though it feels more and more like a relic as time goes by.

#4For developers seems like GitHub is enough.

#5I have a Wordpress blog, but it's on an AWS micro, and seems to go down all the time. I actually have a WPEngine account, and put the little bit of "web" work I do there, but haven't migrated the blog. I may convert it to Jekyll and put it on my GH account, but increasingly, I feel time blogging would be better spent doing freelance or spent on a side project.

#6I have one, but not for online presence. I first got it to learn how to setup a website and I still keep it for learning purposes. First started with html+css. Then learned some jquery to add awesome animations all over the website! Around 2010, I watched DHH's setup blog using Ruby on Rails in X min video. I was blown away. I also created website/blog using Ruby on Rails. Then came backbone.js which was another mind blowing thing back then. Switched to that now. I'll probably change it to React to see what the hype is about soon.

#7I do, it is mostly for me to record thoughts and document projects - I generally don't expect people to visit it, which is a shame I think.
In my opinion websites display the true intent of the web, decentralized spaces for people to express ingenuity and share ideas. I dislike the centralization of the modern web (I say that with a LinkedIn, Github and Twitter account) and the effort to streamline and reduce the variety of presentation of information.
I guess that is why I keep a site around, it lets me hold onto the web I remember growing up in, and that one day I hope it will morph back into.
And I had the domain for an email address and may as well have put something there.

#8I have one. I bought a domain to have a personalized email address and decided I'd throw something up. It's an 'about me' page, but I still guide folks to my LinkedIn page instead. I am planning to add a blog, mostly to document / comment snippets of code I find myself reusing.
