  Interesting. From the mobile view it appears the page has a right side menu with preview options of all the backgrounds with the space background set as the default tile but I guess I’m misinterpreting the page UI.

    The preview is probably just one imagine that would be tiled to create a full background. Isn't that how all backgrounds and wallpapers used to work?

      With the animation on the space background and how the page was previously squished on mobile it looked like preview thumbs for animated backgrounds.

    Correct, you're thinking with modern-UI brain. It's just a page template and the content of the particular page is a long list of images. No javascript to do fancy stuff. Just a collection of backgrounds the dude found. Actually, this page is already "advanced" for a Geocities site, because the starry night pattern is for the left-gutter next to the site's content, and then there's an easy-on-the-eyes background behind the real content. Normal Geocities would just have one super duper beautiful and impossible-to-read-on background. (Oh, and you wouldn't /also/ do that cool background on the right side too because... "who knows how to figure out a floating left side border image?! that's basically impossible.") ;)
