"Geocities [which launched in November 1994] has a fascinating history. A roaring beginning, a dramatic climax, the most tragic of endings, and just a sprinkle of hope right at the end."

The History of the Web

An Ode to Geocities - The History of the Web

Geocities is likely a site you've heard of. It may even have been a site that you used. It's origin, and the movement it later inspired, is an incredible story of self-expression and serendipity.

You might've heard of its spiritual successor, https://neocities.org? Recently I put together a beginner-friendly tutorial showing you how to create your own gallery page and host it on Neocities for free.

I'll be turning this into a series, so stay tuned for more!
