“In order to expand audience awareness and redefine Possible, there have to be places where these new capabilities exist; and lacking a client willing to take the chance that the audience will be equipped to do so, we need to provide the environment so the audience equips itself and creates that demand to use newer standards. I propose, therefore, that the environment already exists and it lives in the collective personal sites that don’t give a damn about return on investment.”
“为了扩大观众的意识并重新定义“可能性”，必须在某些地方存在这些新功能； 并且缺乏客户愿意抓住机会使观众具备这样做的能力，我们需要提供环境，让观众自我装备并创造使用新标准的需求。 因此，我建议环境已经存在，并且生活在集体的个人站点中，不会对投资回报率产生负面影响。”

Personal sites, our blogs, these were once our playgrounds. My own site was the first place I added rollover images, CSS for fonts, tried out a “table free” design. I wrote about the web, surrounded by my own experiments with the web. We all did, and it was only in reading those words from 1999 that I realised there was more to owning your own content than simply not publishing your words elsewhere.
个人网站，我们的博客，这些曾经是我们的游乐场。 我自己的网站是我添加滚动图像（字体CSS）并尝试“无表”设计的第一个地方。 我写了有关网络的文章，周围都是我自己对网络的实验 。 我们所有人都做到了，只有阅读了1999年的文字后，我才意识到拥有自己的内容比单纯地不在其他地方发表文字更有意义。
As we move our code to CodePen, our writing to Medium, our photographs to Instagram we don’t just run the risk of losing that content and the associated metadata if those services vanish. We also lose our own place to experiment and add personality to that content, in the context of our own home on the web.
当我们将代码移至CodePen，将文字移至Medium，将照片移至Instagram时，如果这些服务消失了， 不仅冒着丢失内容和相关元数据的风险。 在我们自己的网络主页上，我们也失去了自己的实验场所，并为该内容添加个性。
I had already decided to bring my content back home in 2017, but I’d also like to think about this idea of using my own site to better demonstrate and play with the new technologies I write about. It’s more than just the words.
我已经决定在2017年将内容带回家，但我也想考虑一下使用自己的网站来更好地演示和使用我所写的新技术的想法。 不仅仅是言语 。
