Ninety Five: An HTML Template
Make a Homepage like the 90s. The mid 90s.
I'm just HTML! Right-click & View Page Source
Select All & Copy-Paste, or Save Page As a new index.html file you can edit!
It's the 'original template' for the web, before the dawn of CSS & JS.
It's accessible & mobile-responsive by default, so you can't go too wrong (or too right, some would say).
Bio Blurb
If you wanted to be part of the invention of a lifetime, CompSci depts at the dawn of the 90s were the place to be. Tamara Munzner might have been one of the first females to publish a personal website,
but to this unassuming data visualiser who'd go on to a successful academic career in Silicon Valley and beyond, it was no big deal and "we just called them home pages", hers last modified in 1995 (when CSS, JS & myself were all yet to be born).
So she told me during my Master's when she gave me her blessing to make my homepage a homage to her style, and publish the HTML template under Creative Commons license, so other humans can build on this template and get started exploring
web coding.
