I saw this on Mastodon yesterday and it reminded me that I had resurrected my ancient (and yikes cringy) GeoCities page. It’s accessible here for anyone that wants to see the work of a high school kid in the mid 90s lol
Version 1.0 was built using Microsoft Publisher; this was the first real content that I had ever uploaded. Technically there was one page before this which had flashing light animations and a giant banner that said something like “Patience please. Under Construction” — you know, for all those people waiting with bated breath on my launch 
The cringiest part of this is probably the text on this page, particularly under “When Push Comes to Shove.” Cut me some slack, I was a sophomore in high school 
Version 2.0 was built with a combination of Microsoft Frontpage and Allaire HomeSite. This is around the time I started to actually learn HTML and just before I dove into PHP. Having to maintain multiple versions of pages due to browser differences/quirks was a joy. My favorite part about this was the Image Map for navigation, specifically:
I moved on from GeoCities in 1998 when I purchased my current domain, but the idea of neighborhoods was such a delight back then.
Oh, and just remembered this:
I was so proud of that in 1997 lol
