Really super stuff. Especially if this is your first time with HTML.

Looks good. One bit of advice - replace the background image with a solid color. A busy background image can make the text difficult to read.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This website is way better than my first attempt back in the day. Me too, but I wrote my first site when HTML 2.0 was standard so I have an excuse.

My first website was built with FrontPage[0]. I will recommend you to try it out after I figured out how to time travel :) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_FrontPage

MS Front page editor and Notepad were the only tools those days. But was really cool. I still remember my first website showing Dinosaurs family classification inspired by movie 'Jurassic Park'

Looks amazing. Way better than the typical React/Vue bloat that's advertised here on HN regularly. I dig the background, it fits well with the text, although the font looks a bit weird. I think Comic Sans or tags would make it stand out a bit more.

This is what I did when I was 13. :) https://web.archive.org/web/20050503103013/http://eren13.8k....

I did a quick angelfire search and to my complete and utter horror a few of my sites still exist from over fifteen years ago. Still waiting for time to erase them!

It is a good idea to remove your sensitive info (e.g. phone number, last name, mail address) or replace it with bunk.

Definetly! You should use junk data (ex: 123-4567 as phone number) for everything you don't want to reveal. You can leave the email if you want to be contacted, although I recommend you to make a unique one for this purpose.

You can also host a private version which would contain the real information for employers

While cool and all, I am sure it looks about on par with what everyone here did when starting out or am I crazy?

Thanks for not putting your age in the HN title though..

Great start! Keep it up, stay curious & continue learning. Try to learn a bit of javascript with a fun game tutorial like this: https://codecombat.com
