do you remember when?
- Websites had version numbers in the titles - like AshesFromStars.com version 26 - punkrawk!
- Everybody had plugboards in their sidebar?
- We all felt rather
? - It was mighty important to tell your visitors what you were currently wearing, drinking, eating, watching, thinking…
- Greymatter and Bravenet guestbooks ruled the ‘net
- Speaking of sidebars, why did we have them 100px wide with 6pt justified text? Or was that just me?
- Scrollbars were coloured to match layouts, especially when they were for an iframe
- exotic backgrounds included black and white grid boards and punky photoshop brushes yanked from LiveJournal icon communities.
- We didn’t use words for navigation, preferring to use 001, 002, 003, 004, 005 with no title tags instead.
- TodaysDomainOnline.com was the place to plug your site?
Needless to say, I just found one of my old websites and cringed.
For example:
reviews.chemical-69.org
hellodarling.org
sparkling-stars.co.uk

I will go silently and die of embarrassment now.
