If you had to do it over again from the beginning, what would you change?
The coding. I'd like to have a site that is W3c compliant.
What are your favorite things on your site?
Your Simple WebPageMaker; The Story Of My Vocation (some of our students enjoyed it); My First Adventure on the Net (featured in this site).
When looking at other people's Web sites what do you look for as a viewer?
Information, and lots of it. I also like to see great combinations of texture backgrounds, text colors and fonts (I am bad at this).
What is "one word" that would describe your site?
Different.
Because of your site do you consider yourself a Web celebrity, an exhibitionist, a public figure, a writer, an innovator, or something different?
A pioneer. I am the first in my Filipino religious group to make one.
How do you tackle the mechanics of Web design and how do you deal with your frustrations when you can't do what you envision.
I still do things by trial and error. If I get it wrong, I consult somebody. If I get it right, I experiment with something else, and so on. Frustrations, I have had a lot. But as in my life offline, I'd just sit back, drink a bottle of beer, and sleep it off in the hope that I get the solution in my dreams.
Why do you think people are interested in your interest or hobby and what you have to say about it?
In the first place because my hobby is about Web building -- HTML, Website development, interactive pages, web graphics... Here in our place, a non professional and self-taught web builder is quite a rarity. When people see my web pages improve from bad to not so bad and to good and better, they get curious.
What compels you to design beautiful pages and to write from the heart (beyond just the usual question of "why write a Web site")?I want to reach out to as many people as I can.
