This is the complete history of the construction of my homepage.
Added "mailto"-link.
Added title: "Nick's homepage".
Changed title to "Nick's Page".
Added "Last modified: 17 Apr 1996"-line (size=-2).
Added counter.
Changed the style of the "Last modified"-line to italic.
Added background.
Changed the "daily updates!"-line to "(almost) daily updates!".
Changed the alignment of the counter from "middle" to "top".
Created completely new homepage. (no history available yet!)
11 Apr 1996 - take a look
My homepage was born. :)
14 Apr 1996 - take a look
So the browser now displayed a title at the top bar of the window.
15 Apr 1996 - take a look
Cause I don't like the expression "homepage".
Added (meta name "AUTHOR" content="Andreas Miklautsch") to source.
hmmm.. can't remember why I've done that.
17 Apr 1996 - take a look
So everybody would know the date of the last update from now on.
Added separator (size=3, width=100%) after the "mailto"-link.
Cause the "Last modified"-line didn't harmonize with the "mailto"-link.
19 Apr 1996 - take a look
So everyone (especially me) could see how many people had accessed my page.
Added "you are visitor" left of counter.
Just to not confuse the people with an unexplained number :)
Changed the "Last modified: 17 Apr 1996"-line into "Last modified: 19 Apr 1996".
hmmm..? Why could I have done that??!
21 Apr 1996 - take a look
Just a question of style :)
Added a "daily updates!"-line (size=-2) at the bottom of the page. Style also italic.
Then I really had the fix idea to daily update the page (even it's only a single dot).
I'm not sure but I think there I also had the idea of this page, "the history of my page".
Changed the "Last modified: 19 Apr 1996"-line into "Last modified: 21 Apr 1996".
To keep visitors informed.
23 Apr 1996 - take a look
Some people were bored by the monotone white background.
Changed the attributes of separator to "noshade" and "size=1".
Cause the old separator didn't look too good on some clients.
Changed the style of the "Last modified"-line to normal (non-italic).
It wasn't really a hard struggle between the background and this element of style :)
Changed the date in the "Last modified"-line" to 23 Apr 1996.
That strange thing again.
2 May 1996 - take a look
Cause the updates weren't that daily :)
Changed the date in the "Last modified"-line to 2 May 1996.
And again...
7 May 1996 - take a look
So the counter wasn't below the letters anymore.
Updated the date of "Last modified"-line to 7 May 1996".
This was the last time :)
8 May 1996
There had been approx. 120 people on my page until that date :)
