Sunflower's Homepage
I made a webpage because I was bored one day and
thought it would be a fun thing to do.

Initially, because I wanted to learn HTML. Then as I moved away for school and life, I did it so my
family and friends could "keep up" with me as well as vent out some
frustrations, ideas etc that I was thinking. It also gives me good
practice, because now I have a career, and work on a website for a tv
station!
Sean's Scrapbook
I was more interested in sharing ideas and information than in telling
people about myself when I set up my homepage. It gives me a chance to
publish articles and stories without them needing to appeal to a
commercial mass market. I work as a journalist and photographer, so the
internet will transform my future career and it was important to me to
teach myself the skills needed to publish online.
Q
I initially started my personal site because I wanted to learn html, so it
was sort of a fun practice ground where I could try out different coding
techniques. As I added more content it evolved into a kind of
self-statement, and I started to care about it. I've always hated the term
"Vanity Page" and I'm glad it went out of style, because I never wanted to
feel like my website was a form of vanity. I wanted my website to be all
about my interests rather than to contain a million personal details about
me.
Cindy's Flabulous Home Page
I started the site because with the help of my husband, friends and the
Internet, I finally began to realize that I could be happy, regardless of
my size. I started to see that I didn't have to spend my life beating
myself up because I was fat. I realized that being fat wasn't a bad thing
and I was not any less because I was fat. I realized that I could be fat
and happy, and sexy, and fun, and all kinds of wonderful things.
After years of self-hatred, this realization was incredible!! My life is so much happier now. I wanted to help others reach this same realization and I thought a web page was one good way to do this. Judging from the mail I have received it has helped and that makes me feel absolutely great!! I want everyone to know that they deserve to be happy no matter what their size!!
