I suggest you back up the HTML files as a record of her work when she was still a child, it will be a family treasure in the future :) You can even add it under your family's domain for safekeeping.

I would love having a backup of my websites from ~1995.

But maybe my memories are more exciting than the plain truth.

it's good to see a little person having fun with all this technocrap that us grognards have gotten so bitter about over the years/decades. :) i hope she continues to have a blast! (from the dedication page in SICP:) “I think that it’s extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and t…

Kind of reminds me of the quote from the Steve Jobs movie: "The most efficient animal on the planet is a condor. The most inefficient animals on the planet are humans. But a human with a bicycle becomes the most efficient animal. And the right computer -- a friendly, easy computer that isn’t an eyesore but rather sits on your desk with the beauty of a tensor lamp -- the right computer will be a bicycle for the mind.…

I showed my kid (also around that age) how you could have fun with PRINT statements in C64 BASIC. He really enjoyed it and just the idea alone that you could control the computer instead of it being a black box.

Perhaps a website could be fun too. But HTML 3.2 was much more friendly to beginners than everything that is out there now.

When I started using the web, this is what all pages looked like and tons and tons of people had personal ones just like this. It was so great. I used to love touring all the self expression.

Not quite the first, but this is how mine looked in '98: https://web.archive.org/web/19981205195643/http://www.justki...

Some issues she can improve on: - H1 content is too long, it should be less than 60 characters, use for the rest of secondary content - There should be only exactly 1 H1 per page

I hope the “/s” was implied. I thought about making a similar post, in the true spirit of a “Show HN”, but would have included the “/s”.

Obviously, but it still hurts me to see multiple H1 in a page
