@ajsadauskas @asklemmy (Trying to remember my own GeoCities site from back then), Many had a βbest viewed on Netscapeβ icon
I think mine had mostly my own song lyrics, with a different background for each page, with a menu page and forward/back links on each lyrics page.
Were frames 90s? Friend of mine used frames to make his site look like a console from Star Trek TNG
@[email protected] @[email protected] I think I actually have a few of my 90s-era sites archived. One of them should have an auto play midi for the background music. I'll see if I can dig it up!
It has a cat gif I don't think it needs anything else I'm sorry
You've got the under construction gif. Done.
The problem is the MIDI file doesn't automatically play.
I miss midis.

The cat art style doesnt look 90ish to me
You need to add some text with the RuneScape glow1:wave: text effect
Check out maya.land. especially webmentions.
I don't know how to tag a user on lemmy. Is maya still around?
I'm also a big fan of confusing landing pages.
EDIT: an RSS feed for any website, old or new
I recommend a "gallery" of photos of whatever topic you want, but probably something obscure like your favorite McDonalds playgrounds or of you holding up fish you've caught. The resolution on the pictures can't more than 640x480 tho.
@ajsadauskas @neil @asklemmy Looks amazing!
My only question is about whether drop shadows on text was prominent. Iβm having trouble remembering how that effect would have been accomplished in the 90s, since I donβt think CSS got it until later. Would it have been something on the <font> tag only supported in Internet Explorer?
@ajsadauskas @neil @asklemmy As for chat, probably the best way to do that today is to use Web Sockets but style it to look like frames or a Java applet on the page.

A little music player with a playlist that plays that eras music. Links to retro sites that no longer exist that actually work, that way we can bring the internet of the past back.
