What Do You Do With a Personal Domain?

bmerr71 writes "I bought my own domain name to use as a self-promotion tool. I use a subdomain, 'profile.mydomain.com', which I selectively put on my email signatures to link to my linkedin profile. I also loaded up Google Apps to use for email. But when you go directly to my domain name, there is nothing there. I didn't want GoDaddy getting ad revenue off my name (and it doesn't look very professional), so I killed the ad page, but it seems like I should be able to put something up on my main page. But, I am not interesting in blogging, I do not want too much personal information up there, and I do not want to spend a lot of money (none, if possible). Are there any free apps that I can load up on my domain to fill the blank space? What do non-bloggers do with their personal domains?"

    Get a personality and what to put on your web page comes naturally.

    I registered fuckthenavy.net because .com and .org were taken.

    FUCK Joomla. Fuck that shitty piece of shit. I can't speak for Drupal, and I can't speak for the bulk of the other frameworks out there but whatever you do stay the fuck away from Joomla.
