1. This reminds me that there used to be quite a few pages indexed by Google that were just *.txt.  Remember Brett's "blog" on WmW that was .txt?

2. Old HTML 3.* (pre CSS) web pages are almost bulletproof.  Generally the image files get lost but all the text is still there.  I see some of these sites, many rescued from Geocities, that are still ugly but viable and I laugh a lot less at MS Frontpage 95/98.

3. CSS should have been more of a plain markup language, if that is possible.  CSS became another hurdle and barrier to the personal webpage and encouraged the adoption of blog platforms.

4. Feh, on CSS.

I really do miss simple HTML pages.  I hope this becomes a growing trend.

Teresa (mivox) is the queen of html only pages.  Since many Alaskans still have very slow internet speeds, she builds with that in mind.  Her pages are *screamin'* fast.

So! Back in ye olden Inter-Net tymes of the 1990s, if you were a (then youngish) nerd like me, you’d get an account on some server called CyberFox.net and your web address would be http://CyberFox.net/~vixen. (You were “vixen.”) And you could put some web pages at that address.

The early personal web grew up around these little “tilde sites”; that’s what preceded blogging. The “~” is a little like the “@” on Twitter—a shortcut that says: “Here is a person.”
