Geocities was my first job out of school, at that time it took a small army of apache module c coders. Its awesome you're bringing back the concept, when Yahoo bought us out and then killed it they took out a huge part of the history of the early web.
- djsumdog 10y agoWow, that's got to be an amazing piece of history on your resume. Yahoo killed a lot of things to take their devs (Astrid tasks is another great example). I think Archive.org has a lot of the old Geocities sites.
- kyledrake 10y agoThanks! Next time I'm in LA* let's meet up. I've met a few GeoCities veterans randomly and it's always a great conversation. * GeoCities started in LA, I'm just assuming you still live there.
- cableshaft 10y agoI still have a clone of my geocities site in my archives. It was the first website I made, and highlighted my love of video games, anime, and adnd. It was so 'massive' it had to span two geocities accounts to hold it (different links went to different sites). I made a lot custom graphics for the site too, which helped me practice using Photoshop, which has helped me ever since, letting me mock things up and still look decent before real artists get their hands on them. In fact several games I've made I just used my own graphics and they still found success.
