But that was 1997.
You'd think that 12 years later basic webdesign would be a tad better...

I remember web pages with moving, garishly coloured tiled backgrounds, filled with text using multiple, arbitrary fonts, of many sizes and sporting multiple arbitrary colours, which seemed to be specifically chosen to make it unreadable against the criminal background. Also, some sort of big, flashing, yellow, "under construction" signs were somewhere on the page, and a midi version of whatever euro disco pop song was hip at the time would unexpectedly and frighteningly start to bleat out of my speakers. And let's not forget the geocities/tripod/fortunecities ad banners popping up all over the place. Furthermore, all the psychedelic crap meant that pages took ages to open because, well, I was surfing the internet on a 28.8 bps modem.
Web design really has improved over the years.

Personally I could do better in notepad.
Quoted for truth. I took a basic course in web design (during which we <i>only</i> worked in Notepad) and even I could do better.
I do give him credit for trying, though. It just needs a lot of polish.

Had this thread been started today as opposed to yesterday the feed back would potentially have been much different. But only for today. :erm:

I had to register just so I could post .... that was SO funny that I LOL'd up my lunch just a bit when I read "tiled".
Awesome thread. Thanks and hello!. :)
