nice to know i'm not the only one. my first site is soooooo HTML. there's nothing except text and images.
I am still totaly self taught. I am so embarrest about my first web site now, I only made it 5 months ago, but I have learnt so much since.
I was below complete newb two years ago. My first website was a page that said "Out of a million sperm, I was the fastest! Wahoo!" and I had like 500 animated gifs of little sperm floating around
I started off with yahoo geocities. Then I went to proboards which helped me pick up my html skills alot, from adding affiliate codes and all the rest helped me learn the basics. Then finally I got editplus, which I still use to this day for html, php, css, perl, javascript & php.
I also started with geocities with some knowlede of html. Now I know a lot about asp PHP, SQL. I don't have any certificate.
I didn't even know how to open Frontpage... first site looks like crap. Now I just hire a designer to build my sites... much easier and they look better than what I could do.
My first website (it was a single page actually) was 2 or 3 months after I first got the internet. I opened an account at geocities and made up a page just for fun. So i used their editor to write some info about me: name, adress, etc... I guess nobody visited that page, except me (for looking and looking at it again and again).
haha fryman....your 'crap' site probably looked like a gold nugget to you the first time. at least mine looks like one to me. an di have a feeling a year or two down the road i'd probably say the same thing as you did.
I'm only 15 started on angelfire when I was 12. Hope there's a career in web designing, because this is what I wanna do.
