What was your first website? My first website was an update site for my friend Amber - when she was going through chemo & the bone marrow transplant for leukemia. We had the site up so that we could post what was going on - so that they wouldn't get a hundred phone calls a day. Everyone at our church could just go online and see how she was. We had a guestbook for people to sign in and send her messages - and she would even write little messages back to people when she was feeling good.
It was one huge long page with animated gifs out the wazoo. I had a huge blinking graphic with her name on it - all the horizontal bars were animated gifs. It was the twinkliest site out there. But at the time - very cool. It was a wonderful way to keep everyone informed.
Everybody has to start somewhere ... thank goodness my fondness for twinkly gifs faded as my coding knowledge grew ;)
