What Do You Use Your Personal Website For? (lemmy.ml)

I'm stuck at a crossroads between what to do with my own. Not sure if I want to make it more of a documentation/wiki style site for everything I'm interested in or if I want to treat it more like a blog. I've got it hooked up to ActivityPub now and I'm intrigued by the possibilities that brings to the table, but I don't think I'd want it to replace my Mastodon account, which puts it in a weird sort of limbo.

So I want to know, what do you use your own website for?

I guess this depends largely on what you do for a living. I use mine as a personal portfolio. It allows me to create galleries of work that can't be made public. I can also create a new gallery with specific curated content if I need to for a specific job application. I also host my CV and some basic info in my About page. I could blog on it too but I'm not a blog type of person.

+1 here, just a personal portfolio for my books. Or what I call a "site vitrine" in French (showcase website) so it is a very simple mostly static website.
