Customizing a Personal Webpage

Keiko: The Layout of your webpage is so Lame. Why don’t you Customize it?

Al: Why bother? I don’t want to spend the time or the energy.

Keiko: Let me show you my page. Check out this Background. Don’t you think it’s great?

Al: Yeah, it’s great. Can I get back to my book now?

Keiko: You haven’t even looked at my page. Look at this. You can add all kinds of Graphics and you can use the Profile editor to list information about yourself: your Hometown, your likes and dislikes, your Relationship status, your Mood, everything! You can Link to or Upload photos and videos, too. I even have a Custom cursor and this Scrolling text across the top

Al: Yeah, it’s all great, but kind of Dizzying.

Keiko: You haven’t even seen my Animated gifs. This funny baby will dance across the page, look!

Al: Thanks for the suggestions, but I think I’ll stick to a simple, Uncluttered page. How long did it take you to do all of that?

Keiko: How long? Maybe a few hours.

Al: I’d rather spend a few hours reading a good book.

Keiko: Suit yourself. Maybe that’s why you have 22 “friends” and I have 200.

Al: Clearly your time has been Better spent.
