FreeNet Conversion

In the old days (like 5 years ago) it was pretty neat to maintain a web site. So I got one ( http://www.rewinn.com/ ) . But it's become like tuning up your car: worth understanding in theory, but kinda pointless for most people.

First, there are too many better ways to maintain a web presences. Photos? go Picasa or Flickr. Casual writing? Lots of blog solutions.

Another second issue is that most well-rounded persons have interests are too broad to fit onto a single site. People looking for my brand of humor are not often going to be be interested in my old school photos; all those pages have in common is Me, Myself and I ... and that's not really relevant to anyone but me. And my wife (...I hope...).

So, I plan a conversion, moving my website content to appropriate freespots, with just enough interconnection for my convenience. Each freespot is organized thematically

• General purpose, unsorted ME : http://rewinn.blogspot.com/
• Photos: http://picasaweb.google.com/rewinn
• Spoofs (chiefly political): http://www.thespoof.com/search.cfm?writer=6507
• Free CLE: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/4freeCLE/
• Legal stuff in support of our troops: http://lawyersforwarriors.blogspot.com/
• St Edward Seminary Alumni: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/steds
• LawPoem: http://lawpoem.blogspot.com/

Perhaps we'll look back at the days of personal websites and go "Huh? Why?"
