Almost everyone who knew about my plans to launch a new personal site were like “What? ANOTHER one?”, because I already had mashhoor.ws, which turned later into webinmind.net.
But no, this one is completley different. This site, unlike the older ones, won’t revolve around the blog. Sure, the blog is still important to me, but it’s not what I made this site for. I wanted to have a personal site that basically acts as a hub for all of my activities online. There will be a portfolio section (which I’m still working on) for all of my previous work, too.
If you’re a fellow Arab and wondering why I’m still not writing in Arabic, then let’s say I don’t really like the idea of blocking a big percentage of the site’s potential visitors by using my native language. I need my work to be visible for everyone globally.
That’s it for now. Gotta go back to work on my projects!
cool site …
I see many of my friends taking the same approach of making their own websites after using hosted blogs for a while…
I wanna ask you from a professional side, is it really beneficial to have your own site ?! I mean here in SA !
ja~
It has nothing to do with where you are/live. I’ve made my web site this way (which is built with Wordpress by the way) because I need a different interface in the home page, and to use it as a place to display what I’m currently working on. In other words, I need more than just a blog. I don’t update the blog often anyway, so it’s not the most important thing on the site.
