At this age of Web mania, obviously the focal points are IPOs, mega-mergers and showy dot-coms. While a small number of people are getting very rich with the blessings of website technology, my attention turns to another aspect of this issue, building homepages

Few of us are lucky enough to play NBA or direct a blockbuster. But we are not at all denied the opportunity to show our strength and creativity. Homepage building is one of the pursuits that are demanding, everything Michael Jordan and Spielburgh are admired for.
We should see homepage as a lifelong commitment that takes time and energy. You need to be so much involved in it that the finished pages inevitably reflect your soul and ego. Since the starting point on, a dilligient builder has to take care of a number of things consisting of applying, conceiving, designing, building, maintaining, updating, spicing, promoting and their likes, to name a few. However this is far from an exhaustive list of things to do. Without sincerity, faith, and stamina, a decent homepage with inviting magic is out of question.
Another equally significant point to arouse a builder's passion is originality in homepage creation. Internet revolution can be characterized as a perfect match of science, technology and art, all of which are highly creative activities. When their formula is applied to creating homepages, we expect to transcend the canon of all the conventional art forms and establish a brand-new framework. No matter what form it takes, the fundamental principle of innovation will be emphasized more than ever before. By doing this, human intelligence gets very close to another new height.
In constructing your own homepage, the first hand experience to exhibit your strength and creativity must be the most exciting and fulfilling endeavor. Try it and enjoy your hard-won triumph.
