Despite how god damn awful this is by today's standards I'm still experiencing happy nostalgia fuelled memories having viewed your 'homepage'. Now I'm not saying we should bring back geocities but I still have fond memories of finding fan sites and personal home pages hosted there. The web seemed more homegrown back then in the 90s - which wasn't always a bad thing. Nice job!

Skuemoprhism and Flat be damned! WE HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED AND IT IS GEO! I'd of subbed the dancing MC hammers with rotating fire skulls, or one of the more common 90s animated gif standbys. Also for fun: http://www.dolekemp96.org/main.htm http://www.dolekemp96.org/main.htm

Back in 1997, I got connected to the internet. Thinking it was owned by a single company, the first time I ran across a site like this... made me want to develop websites. I thought to myself, Why did this internet company make suck a crappy webpage. Then I found out it was a personal home page, and anyone could do it... I then spent the next 5 years making awesome sites just like this, sans MC Hammer. It does bring back some good nostalgia.

  I remember looking up something for my dad in the mid nineties and the website had a cyan background with yellow text. You had to highlight it to make it legible. At that time before I knew much about HTML / CSS we were like creating content for the Internet must require some über skills if people find it so hard to even make text readable! How little we knew.

  To be fair, back in 1997 the internet was "almost" owned by one company in a way: AOL ;) I have a tough time taking a lot of those old designs as "crappy" though. I mean some of them were seizure inducing for sure, but there were a lot of pages that were very readable and above all else, very simple. E.G. http://www.baddesigns.com/ http://www.baddesigns.com/ Of course modern sites still carry the spirit in some way. http://stallman.org http://stallman.org Side note: A site sans MC Hammer is not awesome ;)

I'm really sad I lost my first webpage, which I created in ~4th grade on Geocities (or was it AngelFire?)
