A website is an act of demanding space for yourself and the people you love and constantly tending that space. It's a way of naming: to take on a URL and courageously ask to be witnessed, visited. I understand certain sites that I frequent as continuous labors of love, whether they're directed to a specific person or something broader. I see making websites and making in general as nothing more than a way of asking to be loved.

Really like these thoughts. I was also thinking that maybe putting a personal website up, somehow also taps into the human innate desire to leave a legacy, something that preserves our essence - even if a website is not eternal, and not that great of a legacy.
