What killer features do you wish you had on your personal website?


I'm creating a personal homepage service that already has features like a contact form with spam protection and built-in analytics.

What features would you love to have that would be unfeasible to build yourself?

Nice idea!

One that comes to mind is broken link tracker w/ keyword search. So if Zed's Open Source 3D Engine link is on my page & still working, but the keyword "Zed" no longer appears on that site because Zed was bought out by MiracleSoft, then I want to know about that ASAP because I partially represent Zed's amazing work, but would be happy to find and post some alternatives since I don't want to represent MiracleSoft.

I'd still like to be able to write static HTML pages from markdown. I realize there's a lot of solutions for this but it seems to be quite rigid.

The reason is I love working on CSS stuff, but writing the HTML part is too tedious for the amount of pages I want to write.

You're probably familiar with developers, but artists are another profession that often have their own homepages.

Useful features are the ability to show and easily update a list of events for performances or exhibitions, and media for portfolio or headshots etc.
