First Website
// August 19th, 2004 // tagged: Friends > Technology
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 ;)
Lacy,
I definately remember the “Amber Zone”
