When online applications didn’t exist yet and nobody talked about Web 2.0, you had only one way to create your own online presence. This method involved actually coding the webpage (usually in an HTML editor), optimizing some photos to spice it up (with the help of an image editor) and finally publishing it to the Internet by means of an FTP client.
Now the whole process is far simpler. There are many web resources which enable you to have your own personal webpage or blog online in just a few minutes and without the need of any technical knowledge.
