Personal Web Pages

(See Disclaimer Below)

MySpace LogoPersonal websites are all the rage these days.  Many of them are based on the idea of social networking. As I was creating this site, I was thinking that many of you out there might actually be quite knowledgeable in this area.  I am wondering how many of you have web pages of your own.  Now when I say personal web pages, I mean ones you have designed yourself and not facebook or myspace (or any of their clones).  Please help me out by completing this poll.

If you have a personal website, what type is it?
