In this 1-session workshop and jam we'll review the early web and the era of geocities homepages before blogs and web 2.0. We’ll share cringe-inducing personal websites that may include clip art, under construction signs, and pleas to “sign my online guestbook.”
If you don’t know how to create a website, you’ll even learn the basics of what goes into creating a simple webpage.
We’ll break down the extreme basics of HTML 2.0 <body><head> and use WYSIWIG web creation software from the 90s as well as today. Participants will create their own mid-90s “dirt-style” website and publish them online. We’ll have prizes for Best In Show, People’s Choice, Most Authentic, Most Mediocre, and Best-Why Does This Exist? Participants should bring their own laptop. This jam is suitable for a range of backgrounds from beginners to experienced.
