#4Using the Hotbot search engine to search through MonkeyJunkies mailing list entries (powered by Majordomo) to find articles teaching Netscape 4 only DHTML JavaScript posted on WebMonkey.

Flash 4 was also really fun to muck about with.

#5This is similar to what happened to TheWebMachine which hosted tutorials for Photoshop/illustrator and family and simple HTML and a bit of PHP (anyone remember Shoutboxes?). "Rough around the edges" is acceptable, IMO, if you're doing this for fun. But Wired is a business and without sufficient relevance, they probably thought it wasn't worth the effort to keep it active.

#8So long, Webmonkey. Thanks a lot for the "Sizing Up the Browsers" article from 1999.[1] I referred to it every time I made a website that was best viewed in NN4 or IE5 at 800x600 resolution.

#9Somewhat related: I was a huge fan of Webmonkey. I was also a regular at http://funkychickens.com.
They haven't updated it still. Awesome.

#10In case anyone is interested in some really old stuff, I recently dug up some of my articles from 1997 for a Wired/Hotwired reunion. Here's a doc with some pointers to the wayback machine:
