You can say what you want but these were great times! Everyone could make their own little ugly homepage and it was exciting. People didn't really judge each other or bragged about how this tech is better than that. I kinda miss it.
Still have not found anything that makes design as easy, and visual, like netobjects fusion.
And then came the day in high school when the computer club advisor told us about Netscape supporting frames. Frames were _so_ exciting.
I've wanted to move my blog content off Medium, but then no one would ever see it.
Myspace then Facebook (plus forums) obviated the need to build your own site to express yourself online, and disdain for "poorly designed" sites, i.e. general snobbishness, I think discouraged people from messing around. I love that old web! You can still do something similar on Google Sites or similar, but of course it's more constrained.
I judged people - IIS was terrible and you were better off with Apache, mod_perl and CGI.pm. I still can't believe how far ahead of its time CPAN was!
