Students use personal websites for informing, evangelizing With the click of a mouse, you can view their lives. During the year, several students expressed themselves in ways that were formerly unattainable, by creating personal webpages. This allowed students to tell about themselves, their friends and their hobbies. But, a few students made webpages that were a little different than the norm. Junior Daniel Dubois had his own webpage that showcased his photographic work at www.angelfire.comjjournaljphotog. "The site was my photographic portfolio. I used it to show potential employers my work," Dubois said. "It was easier for me and them for my work to be displayed on the Internet." He set up his site in May of 2000 and updated it throughout the year as needed. Although Dubois is a computer science major, don't think that one must be an expert at computers to have a personal website. Dubois said that he bought a book and taughthimselfhowtomakea webpage. "Everyone should have their own site because they are easy, fun and free," Dubois said. Senior Ben Steed, who was also selftaught, had his own website at www.verseoftheday.com. He started the site in 1998 as a ministry for his dorm. Through the site, Steed sent out a daily Bible verse to people's email. Because the site was self sustaining, Steed did not have to do much maintenance to it. Steed also helped maintain another site called Heartlight at www.heartlight.org. Heartlight sent out around 70,000 Bible verses a day and 125,000 devotionals to people around the world. "[ think that the web offers a tremendous opportunity to reach people," Steed said. "We haven't yet exhausted the possibilities. It is a great ministry tool." - Myca Haynes Joshua Satterfield-Jonesboro, Ga. Management! Marketing. Dean's List. HARM.
