I'm Andy and this is my new personal website, it's plain and simple which suits me just fine.
I have used Wordpress.org in the past and, while it's beautifully designed, it's too complicated for me. I'm absolutely fine with adding pages and posts but modifying it in any way is beyond me.
I only know about simple HTML and CSS so that's what this is. It's certainly not perfect but I will work to improve it. Now that I'm retired, I might just start to learn a bit more about the subject.
Just for info, I had been using a web editor called Kompozer but, for some reason, it would strip out any media queries from the CSS file. I've now changed over to Visual Studio Code and I'm learning how to use it.
Using the web for 30 years
I have been using the internet for around 30 years, since the 90s. If my memory serves me correctly, it was a second hand Goldstar 286 20MHz with MSDOS and Windows 3.0
Much has changed since the days of Netscape Navigator and AltaVista and, I would say, for the better.
I can also remember the time before we had Broadband here in the UK. Some people may have had ISDN or BT Home Highway but I couldn't afford such luxuries. I can still hear my U.S. Robotics modem dialling out to try and make a connection, 56K was quite whizzy at the time..
Web design has also come on a long way and there are some amazing designers out there. Sadly, I'm not one of them!
