Around Dec of 1998, I started my old webpage with the best of intentions. I also started it in the middle of a holiday (so is it any wonder I ran out of time). I wanted it to be full of content - but I did give it a dash of style. In fact, I quite liked my layout.

Except.. you see, I wanted a border around each page, which I did by putting everything inside a colored table. Then I noticed that you had to wait until the entire table loaded before you could see it. (a problem that the new mozilla browser is addressing)

So I rewrote everything to use cascading stylesheets. (a technology / format / whatever I'm still highly in favor of)

But I got sidetracked in the nifty abilities that were possible with stylesheets, and the stylings grew more elaborate

The HTML editor I used wasn't quite up to task, and did annoying things. As I also have strong opinions on how HTML should be written, etc.. I ended up doing stuff by hand

The differing stylesheet abilities various browsers had, combined with my interest in the power of stylesheets led me to learn a bit of javascript and begin really pushing things (I never did get enough time to have it up and running)

Then my vacation ended. My webpage had ceased being about content and had become a complete pain in the ass to do anything in. So I never really got back to it.

It's now Dec of 1999 and hopefully I've learned my lesson
