10 Years on the Web 16 January, 2008 at 1:05 am
I think I must be getting old. Nostalgic. Back in the day, when I was a long-haired uni student, a lot of my friends knew me as ‘Bill’, the nickname I used online. Being a regular kind of name name, people often thought it was my real name, or just remembered it more easily. Anyhoo… I had a Geocities website (now Yahoo! Geocities), as was the trend at the time which hung around for a while. I guess it was the day’s MySpace. I have a copy of the main graphics dated early to mid 1998, and pages that were updated on 25/Jun/2001 for a reappearance at the time. The index page was last modified on 09/Aug/2001, and now the site reappears once again!
Original Banner Graphic from “Bill’s Website” circa 1997-98
The graphics were hand-crafted by me – a result of playing with Photoshop (3?) for a few days – and aren’t actually half bad. Well, they weren’t at the time! :o) The Nine Inch Nails discography pages were absolute hell to make, especially the Tracks page – hand crafted list of every track, listed in order of track name, hyperlinked to the album/release it is from on one of the other pages. Probably written using Notepad or maybe even the EDIT.COM DOS text editor! Dreamweaver, eat your heart out!
