It was 1995, and the wonders of the World Wide Web (WWW) via the great browser, Netscape Navigator, were revealed to me by my son, Jeremy, the techie.
Not content with merely surfing others’ sites, by 1996 I had created my very own website on my trusty Mac. (I’m sure Jeremy – or maybe my daughter Kathryn? – must’ve helped me with the HTML coding.) I was so excited! Just think, now I had a presence on this newfangled medium! What to do with that presence, I had no idea! 😄
I was recently delighted to learn that my first crude website had been preserved (along with millions of other early websites), and is viewable at the “Wayback Machine – Internet Archive.” Here’s a peek at it. Don’t laugh – it’s rather silly and rudimentary!

It’s so fun to see that early site! A piece of history, indeed.

That’s so cool; creating one of the first websites! The first thing I did after getting the internet was shop online. I’ve been doing it ever since! 😀

Ha… first thing I ever bought online was a book at Amazon, circa 1999! We’re hooked too!

I know! It’s like – the equivalent of the model T Ford! The pages took soooo long to load then, especially if they had photos!

Thank you. It is a little dense. Overall, it isn’t too technical.
