The first year of my epic website.

I can't believe it's been a whole year since I made my epic website. I remember making this site because of my hyperspace obsession, and after I lost interest in the game, I still loved maintaining a website. I liked that random people on the web would randomly come across it, that's around 5,000 people so far, and that's awesome! I remember downloading my site just in case I made any site-breaking mistakes, and I did, but it worked out. It's unfortunate that I lost those archives, but I remember using a virtual machine to make it. I would pull up windows 2000 and an old program called "adobe page mill". I'd make the HTML site, and then upload it to my site. I had the old windows 95 coffee title for the background, and all of it was made out of very amateur HTML code. It just consisted of centered text and looked broken and ugly, but it had its charm. And the site would change almost every month, and I'd be idle for long amounts of time. but each one I implemented, gave me more experience in designing the layout, and I discovered HTML tables, the glorious basin for the worldwide web.

I'm still learning, but it's a hobby. And I like the newbie and unprofessional style of my site. and I realized this on December 22nd, 2021. I got onto neocities again and decided I wanted something to look back at and be happy. so over the holidays period, I made artwork, webcomics, indexes, and a sturdy foundation for my site.

There's still a lot more to do, and I thank neocities for making it possible. literally, I have no clue how to run a web server, or the money to steadily pay for it. but neocities makes it possible and makes it possible for everyone else too, bringing the classic aesthetic of the world wide web back for everyone to play with.

 

11/04/2024 UPDATE: I have found several screenshots of my old website layouts, with the dates of said screenshots listed below individually. also with this discovery, many of the lost journal entries have been recovered. (might replace individual screenshots with joint page)
