Why make a classic homepage?

My Website Story

I'm an "early Millennial". My first websites were homepages with rainbow dividers. In 1995, when I was 12, my dad bought me a book called Internet and World Wide Web, Simplified. That's how I learned how the internet worked, and that I should pronounce GIF "like the peanut butter".

My first websites were free homepages. The first was on a website called tool-box which didn't last long and I've never heard anyone else mention. I think it only existed in 1996/97. I moved on to other free hosts like Angelfire, and moved from using the basic form page editors to learning basic html. But the real magic happened after I saw the movie Titanic in January of 1998. I loved it so much, I made a Titanic website called Titanic Crazy. My first fansite!
