End of an era with the end of Geocities.

[Sam]

Despite whatever flaws Geocities had ... it was where my first website was, and that indirectly got me to learn HTML and JavaScript. In a sense, if it wasn't for the free websites at Geocities, I wouldn't have gotten my job as a web developer (since Computer Science in those days did not teach web development in any great detail).

I too started off on Geocities, I had a "address" on the first sub-area under Area51. (Remember when they were divided off into "suburbs"?)

Did all my coding through notepad. If there was something I liked on another website i'd look at the page source and see how it was done.

Didn't really progress much further than basic html (changing fonts, doing pictures, tables, use to be able to do frames but I think those are dead these days) but for what I do these days it's all I need. Even though i've progressed to using Dreamweaver.

ahhh the memories.
