The end of a year is traditionally the time for introspection, and looking back at the moments that have passed.
I have done just that, with the difference that I’ve stumbled upon some ancient files and have looked all the way back to 1996 where I published my first website. And boy, is it a beauty…
Party like it’s 1996
Centered text written white on black, no doctype, no character encoding, lots of tables, probably “optimized” for IE3. Hot stuff. I am surprised I found no animated gifs not blink tags there.
Back then, I would build the pages on my Amiga, copy them to a floppy, ride my bicycle to the local library, borrow one of their computers and upload the pages via FTP. Things are a bit easier these days.
I’ve shown you mine…
Now you’ve seen my puberty website, pimples and all. What did your first website look like?

I don't think mine exists anywhere anymore.
It was just a page in my homedir on some unix machine in AAU ca. 1994 ... I found some pictures taken with the Hubble telescope on some NASA server, I think the page was only ever viewed in Mosaic 1.x
