This page is the “Personal Network.” It displays work from the websites a member is following, in the order it was published. It also provides a way to engage in dialogue about the work in the form of “Cargo Comments.”

The “Projects/Images” toggle provides access to an Image Gallery, offering an alternate way of browsing websites in the Personal Network.

The small thumbnails on the top of this page are a random sampling of websites in a member’s Network.
