Why do you write a site about your family?
As a way of keeping in touch
with everyone, sharing family information with everyone, and highlighting
family events. Also, once I decided to move to Paris last summer, it became
even a bigger project for me as a way of staying "connected" to all of my
family in the United States.
Do you and/or others in your family communicate with readers of your site?
No, not any "outsiders", as of right now, the only readers of the site have
been either family or close friends.
How much email feedback to you recieve from your site? Is it mainly positive or negative?
Any feedback that I have had so far about the site has
all been positive.
Do your friends and family know you keep this site/read it? If so have you had any really negative experiences as a result? If not why?
How has your Web site benefited you? Your friends?
If anything, it has made my bond to my family much stronger.
If you had to do it over again from the beginning, what would you change?
At this point, I cannot think of anything that I would change.
What are your favorite things on your site?
I love all the pictures of everyone and I am especially proud of my "Paris Page" which I have created since living here (and it is constantly being updated).
What is "one word" that would describe your site?
Family
Because of your site do you consider yourself a Web celebrity, an exhibitionist, a public figure, a writer, an innovator, or something different?
No, I do not think of myself in any of these terms because to me,
my site was created for my family and I am not sure that a whole lot of other
people have seen it.
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.
What compels you to design beautiful pages and to write from the heart (beyond just the usual question of "why do you write a Web site?")
I want to share the "beautiful" things in life with everyone. I feel everyone should
have some sort of beauty in their lives always!! :))
