I spent countless hours on a website (I believe) was called htmlgoodies.com - all of his posts were in the style of "So You Want a X, Huh?" Boy, I loved this site. All the feels!
If Joe Burns, PhD reads this then THANK YOU! You had a profound impact on the 14-17 year old me.

I suppose I was lucky to be a teenager in the mid-90's with access to a computer with dial up internet. Untold hours using the View Source option in the browser and then trying to make my own stuff using Notepad (Windows). Hundreds of lines of black/white HTML snuffing out syntax errors. Trying to make images used bootleg versions of Photoshop. I recall when I started to see Javascript get popular in webpages and just being blown away people could write that stuff on their own.
Time flies.
