My first website was on VirtualAve which was the best free service at the time for those who wanted to host their own raw HTML.

I still occasionally hope someone kept the entire archive of that service and someday makes it available. :(

Wayback Machine has my first Web page - the then ISP gave out free Web space starting in 1997 or so. 5Mb of space or so...

My current page isn't so different mind you (HTML -> Greymatter -> Moveable Type -> Wordpress -> back to static but Markdown markup).

I followed that exact progression, except that I'm using Pelican to create the static site today.

Ah, thanks for encouraging me to 'go back' :)

That's the oldest capture on the wayback machine, though I was running that site starting in 1995.

I feel a bit old. :)
