brinshannaraSo GeoCities is pretty much no more.
On the one hand, I'm sort of relieved. All KINDS of webpages are about to blink out of existence forever. Bad webpages, mostly. Webpages that no one could edit anymore.
But on the other... GeoCities was my first webhost.
I had a site in SoHo, the address of which was 17 numbers off my birthyear. It was awesome, to be able to put any number of things up there -- shoe shopping horror stories, bad haircut stories, rants about drying dishes when they will totally just dry themselves. It was through GeoCities that I learned the basics of HTML and learned that background images are mostly BAD things. ;) It was at GeoCities that I made all my first mistakes -- using "under construction" images, repeating background images with unreadable text, using the blink tag and all that stuff.
Crazy to think it's done.
