been playing with HTML for quite a few years now. Every so often over the years, I&#8217;ve actually been bright enough to make a quick copy of my website and archive it. Tonight, in a mad burst of misplaced nostalgia, I pulled them all out of the digital dustbin and have put them back online. As an added bonus, this allowed me to put some really old entries into my archives, from the pre-&#8220;blogging&#8221; days when I was just hand-coding pages and updating them as I saw fit. My <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/archives.html\" title=\"Archives\">archives<\/a> date back to <em>1995<\/em> now!<\/p>\n<p>Curious enough to check out just how my design and web skills have evolved over the years? Feel free to wander through. Some links will work, some won&#8217;t &#8212; caveat emptor and all that.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelhanscom.com\/19960227\/woody.html\" title=\"Woody's World of Wonders\">February 27, 1996<\/a>: Yup, you read that right &#8212; <em>1996<\/em>. We&#8217;re talking seriously old-school here (&#8220;Netscape 2.0 Enhanced&#8221;, even). Looks best if you shrink the width of your browser window to just a bit wider than the graphics, as this was back when 640&#215;480 was in wide useage. Check out that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelhanscom.com\/19960227\/announce.html\" title=\"Announcements, announcements, announcements...\">announcements page<\/a>, too &#8212; reverse chronological order, date and time stamped&#8230;blogging before anyone knew what blogging was (eat your heart out, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scripting.com\/\" title=\"Scripting News\">Dave Winer<\/a>)!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelhanscom.com\/19970214\/\" title=\"Woody's World of Wonders\">February 14, 1997<\/a>: One year later, and things have improved dramatically. This basic design would last through the next three archives, and while it&#8217;s a bit broken now, I still like the general idea. Featured one of the first incarnations of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelhanscom.com\/gigs\/\" title=\"Gig's Music Theatre\">Gigs Music Theatre<\/a> site, though it&#8217;s just a single page here.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelhanscom.com\/19970421\/\" title=\"Woody's World of Wonders\">April 21, 1997<\/a>: A few months later. A little less content, as I started to focus on expanding the Gig&#8217;s page. Design is the same (and is still slightly broken in modern browsers).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelhanscom.com\/19980330\/\" title=\"Woody's World of Wonders\">March 30, 1998<\/a>: Another year goes by, and things are still pretty static. The design is the same (though by this point, it works in modern browsers). The Gig&#8217;s page has evolved into a full-fledged site by this point, though.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelhanscom.com\/20020705\/\" title=\"www.djwudi.com\">August 5, 2002<\/a>: Whoops! Four years went by with no archiving. I&#8217;ve been kicking myself for this of late, as I was doing some hand-coded &#8220;blogging&#8221; back then that I don&#8217;t have copies of anymore. Still, at least I have this. By this point, the design has changed majorly, and I was using MovableType to handle my weblogging.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My lord I&#8217;ve been doing this for a long time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=xLsJkztrnNY&#38;offerid=78941.10000002&#38;subid=0&#38;type=4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" width=\"61\" height=\"15\" alt=\"iTunes\" src=\"http:\/\/ad.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/show?id=xLsJkztrnNY&#38;bids=78941.10000002&#38;subid=0&#38;type=4&#38;gridnum=-1\"><\/a> &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&#38;offerid=78941&#38;type=3&#38;subid=0&#38;tmpid=1826&#38;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DPoems for Laila%2526albumTerm=Katamandu%2526songTerm=Kat-A-Mandu%26partnerId%3D30\">Kat-A-Mandu<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&#38;offerid=78941&#38;type=3&#38;subid=0&#38;tmpid=1826&#38;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DPoems for Laila%26partnerId%3D30\">Poems for Laila<\/a> from the album <em><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&#38;offerid=78941&#38;type=3&#38;subid=0&#38;tmpid=1826&#38;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DPoems for Laila%2526albumTerm=Katamandu%26partnerId%3D30\">Katamandu<\/a><\/em> (1992, 5:11).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been playing with HTML for quite a few years now.
