R.I. P. Webmonkey
by aristan on Feb.29, 2004, under design
When I first got interested in web design, back in the days of a swift 36.6k modem & AOL dialup, I needed a resource to help me figure it all out. It was back in those days when those who didn’t know what was going on created images with MSPaint, which at the time only supported .BMP files. DOCTYPE? HAH, you should be glad we found out what a <p> tag was for! (And that you needed a </p> tag too!)
Try as I might, I wasn’t getting the hang of it. That’s when I found Webmonkey .
Webmonkey was perfect. I loved the snarky comments and the great design tips. Webmonkey was there when I need to learn frames, then told me why I should get rid of them, explained CSS, and even got me started with PHP.
I’m going to miss such a cool resource, and I feel sorry for everyone who’s trying to learn HTML & Design now without it.
I guess it’s going to be just another one of those Ghost Sites.
