Hall of Shame
I can't remember if we already had a thread like this, but here I go anyway.
If it's still online, post a link to one of your early sites that you're now embarressed about.
Here's mine, from the Wayback Machine, circa 2001:

I was actually running it a few years earlier than that, but it was spread out over the webspace for multiple AOL screen names. Yuck...

Here's my first ever website!!
http://members.tripod.com/~MeganJack/megpg.htm
Lots of link rot going on there. It's still funny though. I made that in the summer of 1997. I thought those backgrounds were really cool
I remember looking around for graphics on those sites with all the free buttons and horizontal rules and such. Yikes!

Well actually there are some awful pages located on the wayback machine from just a year ago....My God look at the code errors and typos!
[URL=http://web.archive.org/web/*hh_/lookoutbehindyou.com/]bja888's site from last year[/URL]
I wish I had my very first...it was created with Netscape Composer 2X, and I used animated gifs as table cell backgrounds, non standard fonts, everything was centered..oh awful!
You can see some of a site I had up at my old ISP's server space from 1998-2004...Yeah I left that awful mess up for a long time....there is sat mocking me until I finally took it down.

We don't have any sites that are in the Way Back machine, but I remember our first site, it was the world's longest web page until I learned how to link to another page. That was in 1992 on AOL. ::shiver:: We had a page with java script falling a few years later, I finally learned how to make nice sites.

- not bad, I've saw some worse designed corporate websites! Abit slow loading though.

- nice design but frames are bad for SEO. If thatw as your forst sie then you must be making fantastic sites now!

Haha, well my portfolio is alright i guess but always trying to improve, like everyone!
Yeah frames were hip at the time
I actually made that with the fortunecity HTML editor (basically online notepad), it's how i learnt HTML by editing on there, i was on dial up and didnt realise that i could just write it in windows notepad and paste it into the fortunecity thing, so i was dialling up every time i wanted to work on the code - which the old man discovered on the phone bills!
Also, i didn't know about varying the levels of compression so i started to use bitmap images for titles and stuff because the jpeg's i was saving were so grainy. Quite funny looking back!
