I'm a developer and I use GitHub all day, so naturally it would be awesome if I could use it for my blog. I've done the whole "roll your own" so many times I have lost count.
I started making my own blog/personal site back in 1997 and really fell in love using Microsoft Frontpage 1997. It was an awesome time to be on the internet. The .com bubble was starting and new web innovations were happening all over the place.
DHTML (Dynamic HTML) was my first foray into javascript. I remember using DHTML snippet websites and copy/pasting little javascript snippets into my source code. This allowed me to do some amazing things like…. On hover menus, simple fade animations, blinking text, and every other terrible myspace.com design abomination a teenager thought would be cool. Those were good times.
Later I started building sites with PHP and rebuilt my contentless website with every blog engine or cms I could try.
