Finally I am in the 21st century!
In 1996 there was Netscape and Netscape Composer. In 1996 I came to the Internet and created my very first web site - an amateur affair, prettily styled (yeah, right!) with puffy white clouds on a blue sky background, and bold black text.
Artistically I draped pictures and stuff all over it. I wrote about me and my dogs and my family.
And there it remained until the day before yesterday, updated a little, but unloved and stuck in a time warp. It was a perfect snapshot of all that is appalling with websites of the nineties! It wasn't so much patina as rust!
Now I am no designer! If you look at the home page you will see that. And I've really no idea what the home page is for on a site like that anyway, but the layout is simple and so is the navigation. As a giggle I even put adverts on it. That's more for fun than anything else! I really can't imagine any of the four visitors per day clicking an advert!
I took the opportunity to optimise the page file names for search engines, though I do pretty well if you look for Tim Trent anyway. But I want to find some old, old friends, so I've decided I need to be better optimised in order that we can find them, or rather anyone looking for them finds me.
I really do have to do something with that home page, though.
