Constantly. My business site has stagnated since I went to work for my
current employer and stopped pursuing consulting work (until now) but the
redesign is well under way. (It's only been 5 years. That's not bad, is it?)

My blog was really just an experiment in building one with ASP, and then it
was an experiment in how hard it is to host your own site, and everything
that can go wrong, so it's not exactly a daily occurence, as I had planned.
But in its current state, I'm writing just to write. Don't really expect
anyone to notice. But, someday . . .

I don't think it's odd if a developer doesn't have a personal site, but it'd
be way odd to me if they didn't have a business presence.

And some folks are like Shirley Kaiser, who has so many sites I don't know
what to do with them all. (disclaimer: afaik Shirley does NOT live in a
shoe)(cultural query: is that nursery rhyme US-centric?)
