I was digging in the wayback machine and was surprised to find various versions of my old website, which managed to survive my adolescence. Sadly, I couldn't find any of my pre-teen sites, but those were more Pokémon fan sites and stuff than a personal website or blog anyway; oh, and they were built in WYSIWYG anyway. (RIP Geocities.)

So I found my favorite design of my old personal site. The one that managed to stay around the longest. It was the first one I had designed myself, and I think I had a hard time letting it go. It was strong and simple; you can already see my minimalistic style. I think I continued to make small tweaks over the times. Maybe I'll revisit it...

I also found my very first stylesheet, that I created when I was 15 (with some help from Dad). Ignore the teenage angst with the declarations for "#kiss".

a:visited {color: #000000; text-decoration: none;}
a:hover {color: #FFFFFF; background: #000000; text-decoration: none;}
a:active {color: #FFFFFF; background: #000000; text-decoration: none;}
