home > about > website history Oh, before you decide to read on, lemme tell you that this was written three years ago, and there really is not point to any of this. Well, if you'd like waste your life away by reading this, I won't be stopping you. When I first used a computer, all I did was e-mail. That was when I was in fifth-grade. And then my sister and I started using my father's computer. We just went on Neopets. Everyday after school we would race to the computer to see who got to go on first. We switched every hour. Then the summer came and my sister went to China with my mother for two weeks, leaving my father, baby sister, and myself. My dad gave us our own computer to share instead of using his all the time. The connection was really slow with the dial-ups on Web Combo(which doesn't exist anymore). I hogged the computer all to myself, hehe(My sis was in China, remember?). And when she came back, we shared it. Months past by. My father decided that I should get a computer of my own too. And I DID. Only problem was that it was Windows 95 and I couldn't go on-line. And you know what I did? I used the Writing Document Program to play around and pretend it was my website. Stupid, huh? Well I was like 10 or 11 at that time. He...he... that's not a lot, is it? Anyway, my dad improved my computer later on and I got Windows 98 and we shared the line. So from time to time, we took turns like the old days. One day, I asked my cousin where I could make my own website and she said at www.homestead.com. When I heard that, I got really excited because I heard of Angelfire.com and Geocities.com and I thought those website-making sites were worthless because you needed to know HTML. Well Geocities has the Page Builder but I didn't know about it. So I made my first site at www.homestead.com and I didn't really like how it turned out. It was sooooo ugly. I didn't even know what the site was about. All I did was put the things I adopted and Kaos, which I called Puffs at that time. I mean, it costed me alot of trouble too because I didn't know that people actually made there animated pics. I thought that it was for everyone. So I scattered all these animated hamsters that roll around on my site. I asked a person that I got those hamsters from for help on HTML and stuff and she's like, "Are those MY hamsters??!!". I got so embarrassed for putting someone else's work on my screwed up site without even giving them credit. I went back and immediately took them off. I was kind of mad at that person, but if it weren't for her, then I would've never learned HTML. She didn't exactly teach me HTML, she just gave me a site called Funky-Chickens.com, which I still use today for layout help. I guess she only gave me the site because I annoyed her to death, teehee. And so, I continued improving my site. Then it kind of got a purpose. I made a Sailor Moon site on Homestead. I was proud of it. I found some layouts on this place that was called Lycentia something something. All you Sailor Moon Website owners might know about it. I was picking out all the layouts I liked and made different versions of the same site. Yes, I gave credit to Lycentia. Everything was going Okie Dokie until one day, something made me go nuts. Homestead made a notice saying that they would be CHARGING all accounts and had 30 days to make our minds up. Do you think I would waste my MONEY on a site??!! Hell no! I hated homestead ever since. And I still hate it today. Even though I got annoyed, I didn't give up. I decided that if I had to, I would have to learn HTML itself. I thought it would be horror. But then I came across Geocities.com and realized that they had a Page Builder. Glad, yes, but I thought they might charge you someday. I tried it anyway. It was like the same as homestead, except with less uh...tools. So using my account which is the one that I'm using now, I created a Sanrio/Hello Kitty page. But then I thought that there was way too many images to post on, so I took down the site and I made a Neopets Site. I thought the site was so-so. I with proud of the layout because it had a lame touch to it. Well, I was trying to make it look lame on purpose like using dashes ( - ) and those straight line things ( | ) for bars instead of real bars. And then I got a bit tired of it and I started making more sites. I made a Card Captors Sakura Music site which took me days to upload all the MP3s I collected. And after that I made the Pinki Lili Shrine which I still have today. I didn't really have much interest in Neopets anymore so I shut the site down. And then I realize that the MP3s weren't working on my CCS site so I shut that down also. I haven't worked on my sites for months when I realized that my Pinki Lili site was the only one standing. I made some changes and I changed the layout with Kero-chan(CCS) holding a flower. I liked how that one came out. So I left it there for a while. Then I realized that some of the tools didn't work for me, like the HTML inserter thing and the image thing. I don't think my website would've been much without them. So then, I decided to actually memorize all the simple codes by heart. I didn't actually make it look like I was doing school work or anything. I just started remembering the codes all of sudden. So then I changed my Page Builder layout into an HTML layout. It's a really plain frame layout. It wasn't changed until 11/28/02, which is today for me while I'm typing all this stuff. And then I converted on my Page Builder stuff to HTML. I left some stuff Page Builder files because I was to lazy to change it, hehe. Did I ever mention that I have DSL? Well now I did. That's my story of my website history.
