I have had a personal site since the mid-90s, i'll never forget those fond (painful) memories from the dawn of my time on the Interwebs. It was spent connecting to a FTP site over a 56Kbps dial-up connection (eeeeiiii ooorrrrrr crrrr). I had a single goal in mind, to upload HTML containing a distasteful amount of animated gifs to a site none would ever visit. Version 2.0 contained a hit counter and a guest book I believe - Geocities REPREZENT!
Fast forward many years and many iterations later, i'm still making sites that no one will ever visit.
