For many of us, Geocities was an introduction to having a personal website and building community through the internet. Personally, I wish the old geocities sites were still accessible. Believe it or not - since this was before search engines (really) and wikipedia (really) many geocities sites were treasure troves of links that led to a world of information.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
So it provided some way to insert components like we see today or you can write html code as it is and the page gets created?
there is a modern version of geocities, you can see what sites used to look like back in Web 1.0 https://neocities.org/browse geocities was the most popular way of having your own personal website back in the day, people were making websites for fun and you can see it in the sites and pages they created, overflowing with personality and quirks.
TBH I miss this era of the Internet when pages loaded fast even on slow computers (although Netscape was very fussy about its HTML). The past 20+ years of "progress" have just seen more and more JavaScript and unnecessary bloat loaded for pages, with very little content on them. Giant fonts, lots of fading-in of content, lots of scrolling required. It's pretty poor!
