                         is my          home on the
                       web,  my                personal website.
                      a      pers-                           -onal website
                     is       not                                     like a
                   corp-     -orate                                  site, and
                  mine         is                                   no    diff-
               -erant.         my main                             pur-    -pose
               isn't          to be    functional, or             to       sell
             any-         -thing, it                 is not to  edu-        -cate
             nor           to    enter-                        -tain.        not
          really         any-     -way.                      its purp-        -ose
           is            to         be                      me.   it         doesn't
         need          to           be                    under- -stand-      -able
        or            easy           to                   read,    as           you
      are           learn-          -ing.               (lol)      I find         joy
     in            making,            being             a          crafts-     -person
    and           my                  medium   is     the            code         i
  commit         with               my own          hands.            it          speaks
 to            the                values I        hold, the           pers-        -on
 i             am.               the     web     allows so             many         to
achieve      that,              in       it's   simp-  -licity          and         acce-
-ssessibility, and            whilst      tech keeps     anger-         -ing        me I
still       find hope and joy  in          the web         and            what       it can
achieve      for             society. if    you           care            for         the
 web,        thank           you.        you are my      people.           if          you
 don't,      join             us.        anyone      can learn to          write        html
   in         hours,           or       you could         use    a platform and         write.
   the        point             is      to    make       it                yours. be you here.

       tell?).       the      world                 is            a            weird
         place       right   now,                   and         not           in a
          good        way. but                      the        web-         -sites

           keep        me excited about               technology.        my
            web-      -site          is here to be      pretty,         to
              be     the                           art piece          that
               I    would                               struggle      to
               express                                   other-     -wise.
                I am                                      just     a
                 little spider,                            weaving my
                              web not out                   of  need
                                        but out of            the
