PEOPLE USED TO MAKE PERSONAL SITES

WE USED HANDCRAFTED UNSKILLED HTML TO MAKE SPACES OF OUR OWN, SPRAWLING AND CHAOTIC

NOW MOST WEB PRESENCE IS ON BIG CENTRALIZED SITES LIKE FACEBOOK AND TWITTER

IT'S EASIER TO PUT CONTENT UP ON A SITE SOMEONE ELSE MADE THAN TO MAKE ONE YOURSELF

EASIER, CHEAPER, AND IT LOOKS BETTER THAN A LOT OF THE OLD STUFF

ALSO IT'S BETTER FOR GETTING PEOPLE TO INTERACT WITH YOU, SINCE THEY'RE ALREADY USING TWITTER AND KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH TWEETS

BUT I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING UGLY AND MESSY ON MY OWN TERMS

AND ALSO I'M BORED

SO I'M GOING TO TREAT THIS OLD DISUSED WEBSPACE AS SOME NOSTALGIC THROWBACK

ONE ADVANTAGE OF THE VERY SIMPLE HTML I'M USING IS THAT THE PAGES SHOULD LOAD QUICKLY

SINCE I DON'T NEED ALL THE AD TRACKERS THAT ALL MODERN WEBSITES ARE CLOGGED WITH

I'M TRYING TO ADD SOMETHING TO THIS SITE EVERY DAY

MAYBE YOU'LL LIKE SOME OF THOSE THINGS

THANK YOU FOR READING
