#174These simple sites show us something profound: If you want something to last, don't base it on something that won't last. There are a some technologies that will never allow somebody to build a site and leave it unchanged for 20 or 25 years. Cold Fusion comes to mind. Almost nobody hosts it anymore for one. Can you imagine running the same WordPress version for 25 years? The version of PHP it runs on will be EOL long…
Back in 2001 I redid the UWA computer club website ( https://ucc.asn.au/ ) using XSLT with a custom doctype ('grahame'). In the early 2000s XML was the cool shiny thing. They're still using it, in fact I found out recently that someone wrote a Markdown to 'doctype grahame' converter to 'modernise' the site. I guess what I actually built back then was an early static site generator, but it's still kind of cool they're…

#176Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's not so bad if your mobile browser supports pinch to zoom.
Most mobile browsers support it out of the box. If the site designer set "user-scalable=no" in the meta viewport property, than that will prevent zooming. It's an accessibility issue and should be avoided.
iOS has ignored that meta tag for a while now.

This is the internet as I remember it.
Alas, we're not spring chickens anymore... But isn't nostalgia a great feeling? (Frontpage was my very first introduction to a WYSIWYG editor.)

hmm you might not want people to know about your dad's e-commerce site built in 2002...
EDIT: checked the website, "add to cart" sends you directly to paypal and there doesn't seem to be any account system.
Still you should be careful with which communities you share this kind of information, hint: think of the H of HN

#180My personal web-page is from 1992 and updated occasionally. This page is preserved as it was in 1994: http://timonoko.github.io/alaska . It started as Gopher-page in 1992 and I just moved those associated pictures into it, without truly understanding formatting and all that shit. Some dudes in Usenet told me about
and tags.
