- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I wish I could link you to my angelfire website. I mean, I can. It's still there. It's just when I was 14 I put my real name embedded in the website. Which wasn't a big deal in 1998. I cannot imagine doing that today.
But I had a little java script thing that let you pick the background color. Default was blue, but there were like 6 buttons for different colors.
I randomly got the urge to see where my websites were. Turns out Angelfire is still up. Geocities and MySpace are both gone.
Tripod was where I used to host my webpages after GeoCities died. They quietly died sometime in the last few years too.
I later upgraded (downgraded) from the blink and marquee tags and animated gifs. I used to use wordart to make my page header graphics and was using PNG to make the backgrounds transparent before png became fashionable (it was all jpg and gif in 2000). And no one seems to remember that PNG was pronounced ping back then and not the individual letters. Either that or Deitel and Nieto lied to me.
