Best webpage ever.
wow i miss this era so much, bring back the rotating and blinking gifs, marquees and quaint color palettes!
Don’t forget the rolling view counter and the guestbook!
cgi-bin… Shudder
It is still out there, I have several customers depending on it. 15+ years stuff running over sco unix. Also stone-age php for good measure…
nice.
code comments were honestly the best and i hate how nobody does this anymore in the era of generators.
thats cool, but it doesnt give you ascii are when you curl the site
huh? or did I miss something here?
edit: or are plain-text curlable websites a feature I’m not aware of? Or curl’ers use some striptags feature?
I have code on my site that returns ASCII are, only if you curl it.
At work my site had used as a working test
curl horwood.biz
That has unironicaly made me nostalgic for the days when the web was a place of experimentation, joy and just a bit of crazy.
We have lost our way
I remember dreamweaver having plugins to remove frontpage bloated html
unironically that era of the web was best.
also netscape composer > frontpage :3

I don’t think I can agree with that, and I’m a pretty agreeable chap.
In the days when people actually cared about the html layout and readability, FP spammed everything hugely, and inserted a lot of terrible cruft. Inventing zillions of new <style> tags for everything, even when the user just wanted to italicise a word. Use a <i> tag? No! We’ll invent a whole new style class and embed it in the headers.
A few years ago I rather stupidly agreed to take over hosting of a website for someone that was dying. It had been written with FP and it took me months to de-cruft it using a lot of regexp and scrifting. (Some 8,000 images and around 2000 .html files).
