If you had to do it over again from the beginning, what would you change?
I wouldn't call it "Brian W. Fairbanks-Writer." I called it that not because I'm egotistical but because it was originally meant as nothing more than an online portfolio, the link to which I included in my resume. I originally didn't expect or particulary want anyone else to visit it. However, most employers, including those looking for writers, are apparently too lazy to read so if they pay a visit to the site it's only to the first page (my counter lets me know who goes where), so it hasn't been too helpful in that regard. Now that I've expanded the site and it has become something more that I originally envisioned, naming it after myself is kind of silly. Who the hell knows who Brian W. Fairbanks is? Why would anyone who sees it listed in a directory bother to check it out? I doubt that I would. But I've already submitted it to search engine after search engine, and, furthermore, since it is not strictly about one thing or another, I'm not sure what I would call it.  

What are your favorite things on your site?
Since it's new, I guess my favorite thing is a 10 page item called "Richard Widmark: The Face of Film Noir." It's a look at the career of one of my favorite film stars, one who often does not get the attention I feel he deserves. So, I think it fills a void. Otherwise, I think I did an excellent job with "The Pattern American," a lengthy essay that examines Benjamin Franklin's influence on American society. Unlike the majority of work on my site, I wrote this for a college English class. 

When looking at other people's Web sites what do you look for as a viewer?
Some insight into the person who created it, but also some insight into something about which they have a passion. 

What is "one word" that would describe your site?
Literary. 

Because of your site do you consider yourself a Web celebrity, an exhibitionist, a public figure, a writer, an innovator, or something different?
I considered myself a writer before I started my site. I guess I would also consider myself an exhibitionist, too, now. In the long run, though, I think I'd just consider myself a person who finally feels as though he has found a true democracy. That's what the web represents to me: FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
