I've had a pretty big collection of sites over the last 25 years (oh man) I think my first site was on angelfire and then I was hosted by other people for a long time (is that still a thing people do?) until my uncle bought me my first domain name in 2002.

I wish I had more screenshots from those times!!

I managed to find a couple from 2007 on the wayback machine (attached) but everything earlier is lost to the sands of time...

I'd love to see other folks old website if you have any old screenshots!

(ps I totally cringe when I read old stuff I have written so I apologize for the cringe factor)

I've managed to find some of mine on the archive. My biggest regret is that, as we switched to a computer that didn't use discs, I wiped the discs and got rid of them. I wish I had kept them. So take note and keep copies of all your layouts somewhere.

And oh yes, some people do still host others. Have a look at the forum at The Fanlistings. There are some folks there who host.

I've kept screenshots around from every time I would change my layout, which used to be constantly. The ones I didn't manage to lose I put on my About the Site page. There are a few that aren't around, though, and I kind of miss them. Creating layouts used to be a certain artform for me, so I switched it up often.

Also, my old Atspace is still around, and I recently regained access to it: http://spiffyhink.atspace.com/

Oh no way I think I recognize some of these screenshots from back then, I wonder if we were in similar circles or something.

That's crazy! Although it may be that some people are just always going to be drawn to the indie web, you know? I was big on Livejournal and I think that's where most of my traffic came from at the time.

I actually have several old zip files downloaded from different time periods, so I still have the old layouts of my website. While the general theme of the site didn't change, the current look looks more complex, the most noticeable part is having two sidebars instead of one.

I think it is nice to look back at my old stuff, I enjoy keeping my old creations (like my drawings) just to see how far I've come.

Behold! The oldest picture I have of my homepage, from mere days after I created it. Look at those saturated colors and despairrrrrr

The layout itself hasn't changed much but it definitely looks a lot nicer now...
