What is a Favorites Page?
A favorites page is very simple. it is a just a simple website that has lists of your favorite things. you can decide whatever you want to put on it! tell us about your favorite:
- movies
- late night snacks
- scenic views in your city
- pictures of your cat
- you get the idea!
Why would I do this?
Well, if you made this website, you could share it with your friends, who would probably love to learn about your favorite things! I know that I would love to learn about my friends' favorite things! It would also be fun to check up on it every now and then and see how your favorite things evolve over time!

Why not make an app where people can make their favorites page?
Lots of reasons!
- I'm lazy
- I think it's really cool for people to do whatever they want with their websites!
- I think it's really cool to encourage people to learn how to make websites!
- I think it's really cool to encourage people to have their own corner of the internet that's theirs instead of putting it in a walled garden!
What are some additional fun things I can do with my favorites page?
- Set up Octothorpes on your page and so that people can discover your favorites pages (if you want that!)
- Link to your friends' favorites pages!
- Link to other cool places on the web that you want to direct traffic to!
