<li>Recapture the joy of the internet.</li>
<li>Be creative</li>
<li>Content that does not have to be an update. (But you can still have updates)</li>
<li>Just making web pages about things that you like.</li>
<li>A small batch website</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="my-website-story">My Website Story</h3>
<p>I&#39;m an &#34;early Millennial&#34;. My first websites were homepages with rainbow dividers. In 1995, when I was 12, my dad bought me a book called <a href="https://openlibrary.org/books/OL822310M/Internet_and_World_Wide_Web_simplified">Internet and World Wide Web, Simplified</a>. That&#39;s how I learned how the internet worked, and that I should pronounce GIF &#34;like the peanut butter&#34;.</p>
<p>My first websites were free homepages. The first was on a website called <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/19970628183245/http://www.tool-box.com/">tool-box </a>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! </p>
