I like keeping my Profile Page irrelevant.

The interface to the Freeper home pages would have to be changed to make it easier to edit and update. The interface is fine for a page that doesn't change very often, but it would be sucky to try to update that page very often, especially on a daily basis. Also, the links to those pages are not entirely obvious. I'm not sure how much traffic they would see.

Also, many people don't put anything on those pages. I understand why. They wish to remain anonymous, or maybe even mysterious ...

I would not necessarily want to say that my screen name, spodefly, truly represents ME, the person typing this response. I, as spodefly, am free to say things that I as (insert real name here) would probably never say. I sometimes troll, I am sometimes deliberately extreme to try to get a response, I sometimes post without carefully considering what I am saying (Shut up, Petronski ... you do it too!) No doubt, my true genius shines through in everything I post, but in this forum, with the audience we have, I don't necessarily want my soft white underbelly exposed.

Blogs, as I have come to know them, are more personal, at least the most valuable ones seem to be. They should be about the real person, or at least a reasonable facsimile of the real person delivered through a web page. I'm not sure that I necessarily want to be completely real and open in everything I post on FR. I do want to communicate a message or information, but that message may or may not have an true correspondence to ME the actual person.

Anyway, it might be an idea, but not sure how workable and ultimately how valuable it might be.

Perhaps on a page 2 of the home pages.

Otherwise, I think it would be toooo ungainly and troublesome for a variety of reasons.
