The No CSS Club celebrates websites with no stylesheets, let alone javascript. There should be a No HTML Club for websites that are pure text | Boing Boing

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.

It was in the robots.txt file it grew pretty big at one point

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

We still prefer to build in html, which is rare. I need to show you guys some recent builds. We've been upping our game.

Yeah, show us when you get a chance.

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.”
