I try to list the most popula/common things peple like include on "personal website" :
a blog record what ever u like to record and share..every day
a photo/video album share ur picture with friends and family
a resume while u want have a better professional life
an about me page talk urself(not necessary repeat resume, it more personal)
a contact me page keep u accessiable by others
most of those can done by a simple WP blog,so, the net, I suggest start ur personal site from a blog...and include what I mentioned above as a starting point...
