This paper demonstrates that personal home pages (PHPs) represent a distinct genre by using a functionalist, narrative analysis approach to address authors involvement strategies. PHPs differ from many other kinds of data because they are always changing and should be viewed as works-in-progress. This study examines a corpus of PHPs synchronically, focusing on how involvement strategies associate a scene with the audiences imagination. Conclusions address the distinctions between system and ritual constraints and their role on PHPs, developing expectations of what constitutes a PHP to the author and the audience, as well as the idea of prestige and PHP design.
