My very first website (works best in Netscape Navigator)

For awhile now I’ve been thinking about a major CSS change to this site to clear out unneeded lines of code. It’s a work in progress so don’t mind the construction.

I’ve been clearing out a lot of things lately. Including boxes and boxes of stuff left at my parent’s houses when I moved to Sydney. Most of it has gone to the bin, charity or friends, but some stuff which was unused or too good to throw out is on TradeMe. Including my childhood computer (which was recently replaced). I deleted a lot of files which I could not open without Claris Works. However I managed to save and ressurect the very first website I ever built!

My BFF Colette and I have one main thing in common: our dad’s are mega apple fanboy nerds. They are also friends, so when we were about 10 years old they taught us how code HTML. We spent several Saturdays (alternating who’s house we would go to) coding a website which never went online. Until now. Some of the files are missing so you can’t click the blue or purple faces, but please have a good laugh at my expense:

Colette will probably (and rightfully) kill me when she sees this, so in her defense I will mention that she now works on a very good looking website writing reviews of Eastern European films. Check it out at eefb.org >

PS. Apologies for not sending out any “this week on the internet” emails lately. I’m working on a better way of doing it.
