This month is the 25th Anniversary of my first web site. Do you want to see what it looked like 25 years ago today?

I used to be embarrassed by this old web site and wasn't crazy about it being found on archive.org, but now that I don't have to do it as a job it doesn't matter and I'm glad it's out there again! It's been fun and weird looking at it!

There is something to be said for a web site that can still run after 25 years and not break every few months because some software somewhere needs updating or doesn't exist any more. When I did front end web development and design for a living I had to be up to date on as much as possible, but now that I'm just doing it for myself I'm going to make them a primitive as possible. To put this one back online all I had to do was change the file names to .html instead of .HTM and so on. Yeah that took a bit of time but is worth it. And it all fits on a floppy so you don't need the internet to run it. Except for the broken links it all works. I think I did click all the links on the link page and I think I discovered that they are ALL gone. If we put everything online with no hard copies we might be in trouble. But even discs and paper don't last forever! It's a lot to think about!

Nice. Your design style was there from the start :-) And it's wasn't owned by Google's Blogspot!
