Do You Ever Get Sentimental Over Your Old Websites? πŸ’—

I recently bought my own domain and web hosting. I also looked through my old files the other day for inspiration on how I should design my new website. I found some screenshots of one of the old webpages which I had made on Blogger. Blogger offered free hosting and free webpages which did not require me to code the webpage from scratch, I only needed to insert some code to add images, links, dividers, bullets and write some text here and there. My site was so terrribly cute, too cute not to share! πŸ€—

Human Age (human-age.com) was a free browser game where you started in the prehistoric age and then progressed up to 6 more ages (if you wanted to) with the next age more advanced than the prior. Below I show my love for the 1st age which was my favourite due to its more simplistic gameplay compared to the more complex gameplay of the more advanced ages. I could relax and keep a lovely flickering campfire in my camp which I loved to look at for hours on end <3

My poems actually got published in the newspaper in the game!

I hope, in fact I am positive, that I will be able to make an even better website than I did when I was 16 years old. This time I am making my website from scratch 😳 Wish me luck! πŸ˜…

This is such a fun topic!! Lovin' it. πŸ™Œ

I personally don't have any old websites (well, not to my knowledge... don't go lookin' for them, haha πŸ˜…).

But, I get somewhat sentimental over old web design. It takes me back to simpler times. Love seeing this old website of yours and enjoyed the poetry too! Appreciate ya sharing, Anita.

I don't know why, but these images gives me strange nostalgia.
Your is still way more better than my first website. I designed my portfolio like a Wikipedia page.πŸ˜‚
