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.

I wrote my university website in Notepad.
You know, the default text editor in Windows 95?
And tested it in Netscape Navigator, because IE tended to break all my
markup.

I can still remember "Pam's Private Parts". Yes, that is what one of my
colleges named her site. Not that it contained anything remotely
interesting. About the most exciting thing was the price list from the
student union bar (along with comments on the various drinks such as
"nat's piss if you ask me!"). The table was headed by the comment "this
is why people become students!!!"
(Oh how I love excessive punctuation. And by "love", I of course mean
some antonym of that word...)

Few people have a personal web site, but lots of us have a personal
blog... ;-)
Is it ironic that I'm *paying* for a website, but I haven't actually
*used* it for about 8 years now? :-S

Considering this page was actually made in 1995, you can't really
complain about how outdated it looks.
Are you suggesting the Louvre should put an Instagram selfie instead of
the Mona Lisa?

Something interactive might be in order. You know, allow visitors to
leave comments or some such. Some kind of Louvre 2.0.
A box of water-resistant markers and a few cans of spray paint would
probably get them started...
