New member, Tova, has done just that with a simple home page introduction text and nice photo.
Tova has also included a slide show on her family page and is currently in the process of updating her other pages.
You don't have to make personal sites too complicated and it can be difficult to know what to write, which is why all personal sites come with pre-loaded text, something which many of our competitors don't have.
With the forthcoming community area, other members will be able to get ideas from each other as to how to make their personal sites more interesting, but to start with just keep it simple.
