Since everyone is sharing there's, here is mine from 2003 (I had one older than that but it was on a public library's domain that never got cached, so this is my second oldest site). It was responsive, sorta, and while it looks like crap it still works!

This brings back memories, the days when geocities, and software like frontpage and dreamweaver were a thing. Most personal websites were exactly like this, word art, silly animated GIFs, "under construction" images, the author being optimistic about updating the site. Soemtimes you'd come across someone who'd made a site that more focussed around a special interest and they updated it often, a personal endevour that…

That's awesome. I recently found my first site is up too( http://home.earthlink.net/~flighttime/justins/ ). Still running on free hosting from my family's ISP from 20 years ago. Complete with a Dodgers' schedule from 1998.

I am really glad that you are working for MLB.tv now. You seemed to have liked baseball when you were 12 and now you are working at MLB.tv.

Every now and then I go to the Space Jam site because for some reason they still host it. Some great 90s web stuff in there, especially all of the tiled backgrounds and liberal use of frames. https://www.warnerbros.com/archive/spacejam/movie/jam.htm

I love it. I have an unreasonable amount of nostalgia for old websites like this. This is what the whole Web looked like back in the early days, before the usability and design gurus figured out the "best practices" and all sites started looking the same. It really was a wild new frontier. I'm not saying the Web was objectively better back then, but it sure was fun.
