basics  ▪  devoted to  ▪  web history

i created my first website in late 1997. at first i used aol's webpage creator, then moved to various freesites. i taught myself html by studying 'the complete idiot's guide to html' and learned the art of graphics thanks to adobe photodeluxe. the site then became hosted on a fan domain, which excited me nonetheless. my prayers were answered when i received my first copies of microsoft frontpage [no more raw coding!] and adobe photoshop. i am also familiar with jasc paintshop pro.
