@sarajw @danhon My dad helped me set up my own website some 22-23 years ago. Originally it featured stuff I liked, but after he taught me some basic HTML I was able to maintain and update it myself.
I had it up and running for quite some time and after meeting my partner it was transferred under my own domain.
I’ve since then retired the website but the domain still exists for my personal email.

@sarajw @danhon What it felt like? It was a new fancy thing for a teen in the early 2000s. Before social media was what it is now.
I had many things to share with the world and the site was a way to get stuff out of my head.

@quester @danhon it's such a different world now social media made it easy (and I'm not saying it shouldn't be).

Did you also feel a little thrill back then - "So I can just... Click upload, and now it's out there, for anyone to see, what?"

@sarajw @danhon Yeah! I even went so far as to check with each update that everything looked as it should. Sometimes a typo in the code threw something off and then it took some time to locate the mistake to fix it.
The best thing was when I learned to create links and add pages to each sublink if I wanted to 😂
