The Issues around Personal Websites: Change

The most difficult part of a site to maintain is a sense of change. A personal site represents a person and the site should represent a person's emotions and interests as they change over time. It takes a lot of commitment and there are few good tools to manage this change well, but sites that change daily seem more personal. Diary sites are easy to reflect this change, but in the future, imagine sites might express a person's activity almost intimately. Some sites express the state of time and change using webcams.

How often does your site change? Daily? Weekly? Occasionally? Not Often? There's no correct rules here, but a general one is that your site should change to reflect significant changes in yourself--it's up to you to decide how granular this detail should be.
