My inspiration for creating this website is simple.
Originally I had made a Carrd for myself. I wasn't very happy with it but I did the best I could with the thing.
The day after, I got REALLY into looking up old Geocities GIFs via Gifcities. You can click on a GIF to get sent to the archived page and website the gif originates from.
The raw personality that shined through these extremely badly designed and nearly unreadable websites inspired me greatly.
I had previously created this website an entire year before learning HTML. Originally I just didnt have the drive for it and left it as a blank page.
But these old websites pushed me to finally use it, and it was so fun to make and it's served such convenient purposes for me personally.
As soon as I finished my basic stuff, I scrapped my carrd and I now use my website for everything I have.
Earliest existing evidence of the site.
Testing out text + image stuff.
The AVGN image is the oldest thing on this site.
Unused Sonic 2 balancing GIF I made for the site but had nowhere to use it.
Sonic 3 GIF progress after scrapping the first one
Embed testing.
Background, text centering, and font color progress.
Fuck off
First look at the main page for realsies, which used to be the changelog.
Background, visitor counter, and proof of four total pages at this point.
The first, non-testing iteration of the main page.
The index page on December 29th, 2023.
Ditto, but for the depracated OC's page, which eventually became the gallery page.
A Hubble Space image I used as a background at some point.
The AVGN image that's still in the site files.
