In the latest post in my history of web design, we enter 1994 — when the Web shifts into a publishing medium. As site authors seek control over formatting and design, the WWW-Talk mailing list hosts an early debate over style sheets and presentation. Also, I look at typical web design elements of websites in 1994. https://cybercultural.com/p/1994-web-design/ #WebDesign #InternetHistory

@ricmac Ahh the Grey Page Web Days!

FWIW I ran a web server (first on Mac SE/30) late 1993 to april 2006 at Maricopa Community Colleges. All my stuff was wiped later, but I have most archived, including an ongoing server log counting "hits" and links to archived pages

including a snapshot of a Writing HTML tutorial from June 1994

Also, I kept a page of stinking web badges
