Getting personal.


One of the greatest strengths of the Internet is the way it levels the playing field. Anyone can make a personal Web site and give their voice the same worldwide exposure as Focus on the Family or the White House. And today, it seems that everyone has a cool way to introduce themselves. Here are some of our favorites:
