As you may have guessed, this is the
first of the posts on this
blog.
You may have already
noticed that I type differently here than I do throughout pretty much the rest
of the site. I've never been very consistent with my writing.
Anyways, I thought an
interesting subject to cover would be the history of this site and how it, and
my reason for making it, have changed over it's existence.
I started this site
around July of 2022. Well, hard to call really any of these the same site at
all, other than the fact that they were all created by me and uploaded to
Neocities.
Well, I'll quit fucking
around already and just show you how it looked. Warning, it's pretty bad.
Jesus fucking Christ.
This is basically just a
very shitty stereotype of GeoCities pages.
Not to judge anyone of
course, but I think if you make a site you should have some sort of creativity
beyond just funny gifs and midis. Something I clearly didn't have.
My reason for making that
site was because it was "web 1.0 '90s retro wow" and I thought that made it
good.
Don't get me wrong
though, I think that other Web 1.0 aesthetics kick ass, and lots can be done
with those. I'm just not huge on the idea of devaluing your site with shitty
gifs and moving backgrounds for no reason other than "it's funny."
I didn't even have it in
me to make it actually represent me in any way, apparently. I talk like a 9 year
old throughout the entire page. The only thing about myself I even make
available is just "im 13 (lying through my teeth) and not
binary (not the case anymore) and im a dumbass duuuhrrrr
look at how dumb i sound get it because its fucking ironic." It honestly just
makes me really angry.
I think personal websites
are a place for you to put yourself, your interests, your talents, etc. out into
the world for people to see. This is just intentionally shitty gif salad with no
meaning whatsoever other than just to be ironic.
Well, enough about that
one. Let's move on to my later version of the site.
Warning. It's not much
better. Like, at all.
Yup.
Also, ow. You can't see
it from this image obviously, but this is a gif background and holy shit is it
fucking nauseating.
Same shit as the last one
but in a new flavor. A fucking sickening one.
I'd argue this is worse
than the last one, actually. There's so much shit happening that I feel actual
nausea coming on just looking at it.
No idea what made me
think this was remotely good, even as a GeoCities thing.
Moving on now...
Same shit, again.
It's better in some ways,
but not much has changed. That star background you see is scrolling and it is
fucking eye straining to look at combined with everything else.
Not much else to say
about this one though.
Somewhere down the line,
I realized that making a website isn't even worth doing if all you do is pump it
full of shit and make it entirely uninteresting all around, not even giving
anyone the slightest idea of who you are.
And with that revelation
came the next version of my website.
...Yeah, it's not really all that.
I was still pretty dry on
creativity while making this. I like the little gifs of my character Bagboy I
did though.
It was definitely a step
forward from what I had going before, but it was pretty boring and not fun to
look at. There was nothing to really keep people looking at the site for more
than maybe 2 minutes.
Wrapping up, I'd like to
state that none of anything I said was meant to judge or put people down, but
rather to just give my opinion on the subject. You all can do anything you want
and express yourselves in any way you want to. I'm cool with that.
Anyways, I hope you all
enjoyed seeing how far this site has come and reading all the dumb stuff I had
to say. I had a lot of fun writing this so I'm absolutely sure I'll be posting
here quite a bit. Peace. |
