The original idea was to learn enough about web site design to be able to understand how to build project-related web sites for work. We use a different tool at work, but I needed to understand basic mechanics about things like frames. I didn't have anything to fill the site with, so I just started putting stuff in about myself. I started out with just links, but then I made the mistake of trying to add content.
Content is hard.
Especially when you're travelling 9-15 days per month. So, the content got stale, the links got old and the site became pretty crappy. Time to start over. For now, I've tossed in links to some of my old pages where appropriate. I travel a lot on business and I try to travel a lot for fun.
