I hadn&#8217;t touched <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/athens\/forum\/5696\" title=\"Opens in New Window\" target=\"_blank\">My Original Website<\/a> since the late 90s and it (finally) went disabled! Fortunately I somehow managed to remember my username and password and re-activated the site.<\/p>\n<p>I realize now that I was really bummed about the site going down. At the time I was quite proud of my creation. I self-taught myself HTML before there were guides online or books in the stores. I created all of my own graphics from scratch pixel by pixel. More importantly, it was <em>Mine<\/em>. The worst part is that I realized I don&#8217;t have the site archived anywhere, Google doesn&#8217;t have it Cached any more and even the <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20030304221945\/www.geocities.com\/athens\/forum\/5696\/\" title=\"Opens in New Window\" target=\"_blank\">Wayback Machine<\/a> doesn&#8217;t have a working copy. I thought it had really vanished for good this time.<\/p>\n<p>Well, web historians needn&#8217;t worry because this scare has set me right. I&#8217;ll be archiving the site on the Ego Surfing page and my personal hard drive ASAP so that future generations shan&#8217;t be deprived of the worst website in the history of the World Wide Web!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My original homepage was saved by typing a login\/password that I hadn&#8217;t used since the late 90s. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ericles.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ericles.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ericles.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ericles.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ericles.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ericles.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ericles.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ericles.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ericles.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
