Here is a personal web page that I find interesting:
http://people.netscape.com/powers/index.html
The individual happens to be my sister's
boyfriend, but he also works for Netscape...so I
usually assume that he knows quite a bit about web
pages and have, in the past, asked him for advice.

Subject: a recommended homepage
Hi Jim,
I'd like to recommend the following home page:
http://kgu-web.kansai-gaidai-u.ac.jp/teachers/yohno/index
If that link's down, as it often is, try another
by the same person at:
http://web.kyoto-inet.or.jp/people/yohno/
Yutaka Ohno's college page is a good example for
teachers to follow. Notably, it's in 2 languages,
and he's given pointers to where the text is more
complete in Japanese (not that mine's good enough
to let me switch). He provides some information
about current and past classes, and some personal
biography as well. Besides, he's a friend of mine.
:-)
Yutaka has used the college pages as a way to
introduce his students and other people around his
campus to the Web, and vice versa. There's
information here about workshops and projects he's
participated in, presented without his seeming to
inflate his accomplishments too much. He's
included links to some pictures he's taken, but
most of his pages load fairly quickly (esp. given
how slow the school's server is). There may still
a couple of "vanity" efforts here, like a
JavaScript marquee, but these are clearly marked
before entry. There's also the beginnings of a
"virtual reunion" page (links to ex-students and
ex-colleagues) - a great idea for someone who
knows people all over the world.
My own pages are at: http://www.ed.uiuc.edu/students/jbuell
I haven't yet put up a redirect from my directory on the lrs server, but
will do so soon.

Subject: Home Pages
The home page I liked most was selected before by
one of 387 previous students as an exemplary home
page. I also found it as well organized, and easy
to tour through. The main menue was put on the
left hand side of the first page, and the menue
almost covers every aspect one would want to know
about the person. The page also, gives the visitor
an impression about the person as a serious
person, opposed to other home pages that starts
with some kind of funny starts, that would most
probably drive the visitor away form taking things
inside this kind of home pages as serious. I also
liked this home page simplicity, and the quick way
it responses with.

Mr Levin!
I just finished to write the message to you on the internet e-mail
service and when i wanted to send it I couldn't. So even if now I hate
computer technology more than ever I send again by the simple way I know.
Sorry I'm upset a little bit.
So I found two interesting homepage. The first one
is, http://www.kinga.com/
THis is an Hungarian women homepage and mainly the
viewer can found lot of information about Hungary.
There are things in Hungarian and English so it is
good for people who interested in this country and
also for Hungarian people who doesn't live in
Hungary but still wants to keep the connection
with their motherland. As I went through some of
the themes she offered I recognized that her
homepage includes same information I saw on Yahoo
last year. So probably she asked permission of
those companies, people to use their information.
I also could see some Hungarian people personal
homepage who are mostly lives in different
countries. The only thing I missed Kinga personal
homepage or any introduction, picture of her. I
think maybe she is asked for to put together allof
the information and create an Hungarian Homepage
but then why it is under her name?
The other homepage I liked is an 12 years old
English boy homepage. the first thing what took my
attention was the visual outlook. The address:
http://ep.open.ac.uk/~andy/phil.html
I liked how this boy organized his homepage
regarding to his age level. He seems to me open
and friendly and somebody who wants to use the
internet not for business but for make connections
with other kids all over the world.
That's it.
Sincerelly! Katalin

Hello Professor Levin,
Finding an interesting personal web page was not
easy, (or my standards are too high?). I looked
through quite a few strange/boring/overloaded/ web
pages until I found this one:
http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~r-chang2/index.html
I liked it because
a) it downloaded FAST
b) it was well-organized
c) it had this cute feature, where you type your name and the computer
remembers it (maybe, my standards are not that high.)
d) it was funny
e) it contained some interesting links that WORKED!
f) it was easy to read (good graphic design)
g) it was created by a UIUC student
...See you in class,
Alina

I have found a webpage of a colleague of mine. It
is clear and has some important information on the
first page. The URL is

It was nice to learn something about someone I know.

Subject: URL for a good personal homepage.
Hi, Professor Levin:
The following URL is for personal homepage which I think is good.
http://cogsci.uiuc.edu/~jycha/
It is really well-designed. firstly, it contains
many useful links to linguistics-related fields,
which provides a good database for researches.
secondly, besides linguistics part, it also has
interactive links like chat-room and chalk-board,
as well as some other internet-based information.
moreover, the author is very thoughtful to provide
two versions of his homepages: one with frames and
the other without. For people who don't like
frames much, it is really a good design.
by the way, i created my own homepage and put it in lrs.ed.uiuc.edu server.
the URL for my own homepage is http://lrs.ed.uiuc.edu/students/k-tai.

Jim, here is the URL for my exsisting site:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/jkozenski
An personal site I found to be a good design is at:
http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~glik
The layout of the page is good in that it is well
organized, and the introduction is especially
intriguing. The content of the site is also
captivating--probably a good site for good
references. Even though there is no bio of the
author, a viewer can clearly see this person's
interests and concerns--his message is conveyed
well.

The homepage that I like is under the ILIR webpage. Go to student's
homepages and look up Melissa Angeline. I like how this page is set up.
The categories are on the left hand side and you can just click on them
and go to the location you want. The opening screen is colorful and she
divides her professional and personal info well.

Dear Dr. Levin,
After much web-serfing i managed to find some
sites that i kind of liked- can't say that i liked
them a lot but I am sort of tired of looking for
the ones that i would consider perfect. Here are
the ones i selected in order of preference:
http://www.cen.uiuc.edu/~d-papa/
I think this guy has done a neat job, the page is
easy to load, has nice graphics, gives enough
information about friends and interests and it is
all presented fairly nicely.
http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~juniper/
This is an OK site, it has a nice introduction
page but turns quite ordinary once one starts
clicking buttons.
http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~uchida/
this is also a neat site, the buttons/bullets are
very interesting and make the page look
interesting bu the person doesn't have much
interesting stuff to say. Also, one of the button
keeps rotating and that is a bit disturbing.
I hope that you will enjoy looking at these pages,
regards,
Smita.

Dear Prof. Levin,
* My favorite personal page:
http://choices.cs.uiuc.edu/srg/ycli/public_html/self.html
* the reason why it is good:
* it is not take so much time to load the page
(not so much image in the page, however it can make readers
feel attractive)
* it can easily to understand what information in pages
(it has index in the left side of top page, and we can understand
or estimate the full contents of pages only reading 1 page)
* it can reasonably introduced with index of topics( not too much
information in index)
* my page created in last week(As I could not improve it last week,
I will try to improve near future)

Dear Prof. Levin,
I realized that my assignment from last week
didn't get to you. I apologize for that. Here is
the URL of the home page I liked
http://www-db.stanford.edu/~hgupta/
The homepage separates the professonal and
personal informations. First page has a brief
information about his professional and academic
achievements. THe second page has more personal
stuff. You can get more informaion about this
person by clicking on appropriate links.
SIncerely,

Hello Dr. Jim,
I like this homepage after a long time of
searching about cool personal homepage...The
address is:http://cctr.umkc.edu/user/mnabulsi/index.html
After reviewing this homepage different links, I
realize that it has so many good and important
links, Mutaz (the person name who design this
homepage) was organized it perfectly, the
different spaces, the graphic design is really
interesting...And above all, you find most of the
links you need available at the first page of this
site.
It's really cool site, and I think I will add it
to my list of homepages that I liked and need!
Thanks

Subject: Exemplary personal web page
Hi Prof. Levin,
This web page by a Kenyan in the US is an example
of a well laid out web page. The page is by
Karume, whose URL is http://www.ifu.net/~karume.
The gentleman has a lot of material but most of it
is hidden and can only be accessed through links
on the homepage. Although Mr. karume also has one
of those moving eye catchers which forgets to turn
off, this does not seem to distract alot since
there isn't much literature on the home page.
Good day
Richard

Subject: Assignment for 9-18-97
Dear Dr. Levin,
Here is what I believe to be an exemplary personal
web page:
http://www.wwd.net/user/deskins/
I found it very difficult to find a site with all
the components I was looking for and I may have
cheated a bit! While the site I chose is a
personal one, the author is actually a
self-employed webmaster & TV News
Photographer. Jeff Deskins includes pages with
links to his personal interests as well as his
professional work. The reasons I like this site
are numerous:
*it is very well designed: Jeff manages to include
all his major links on the front end and allows
for navigation without the need to scroll down the
page
*good use of graphics: I like his use of the
spider web as the main navigation tool
*interesting effect of links sliding down the page
(by what I believe is a javascript)
*not to much clutter or color
*fast loading (even with the extra effects)
*search page included in the site
*navigation menu on left side of page throughout
most of the site. My only complaint is that the
menu is not consistent and may result in the user
getting lost!
