I setup my very first site last summer - it was a site providing online guitar lessons. Really should update it now I think about it!
Haha, I was like 12 years old, and made a Warcraft website. It got over a million hits over five years, when I finally checked up on it. It was an ugly microsoft frontpage website! If only I knew then what I know now about advertising and affiliate programs! I can't get that many hits even now! The competition in the webmaster market is so much more difficult nowadays.
Lol! I just remembered I actually made my website while I was at high school. It was about warhammer 40k! Gawd... That was ages ago...
Well mine was a Free page which was discussed for around 600 posts in Digital point. Then i got my first paid domain earn123
Mine was in 1998 about music I liked. I think it was hosted on geocities or something like that back than.
I made my first 'site' when I was 13 or so, and hosted it on HotBot (that one's loooong gone by now)... The first site I built and put onto my own domain was oweb.co.uk (Not the current design I can assure you)... The wayback machine will forever act as a form of embarrasment for me. :| http://web.archive.org/web/20030606221811/http://www.oweb.co.uk/ Oh it's sooooooo bad...
back in 1996. website "about me". haha, now remeber, funny psychodelic background. whole done in notepad. that was a spirit.
Not embarrased - Every developer needs at least one tradegy in their portfolio - trust me, I have many more.
It is amazing how quickly you learn things...I have had my site for 2 months now, and I have learned sooo much about how to improve my site...it is amazing!
