Ah, the times when you created a webpage on your university account
by launching a text editor (often in a terminal emulator... if not
even an actual VT terminal) and then just wrote HTML (1.0) by hand...
No graphics, not much of a layout... just text and some individual
images.

I still remember the time when most people thought that having a
"links" page (ie. a page that contained nothing but links to other
wegpages, often of friends) in their homepage was cool and hip.
Heck, even I had one at some point.

This kind of thing has gone kind of cyclic. In the mid-90's only
a handful of people, mostly university students, could have their
own homepage on the WWW. By the 2000's more and more people both
got internet connections at their homes and personal webpages on
their service provider's server. Nowadays almost nobody has a
personal webpage anymore, instead having just a bunch of accounts
on social media websites... which often contain little more than
personal info and links to other pages.

Oh, the irony.
