Lise’s Garden is a rich collection of flowery graphics for your home page, especially if your page is located in the Heartland (family life, pets, garden) neighborhood. Though Lisa’s Garden itself is in Yosemite. It is a collection of the graphics that she made, and she found.
On the first page Lise formulates her terms of use:
Feel free to use any of the images you see on these pages. I appreciate links back to this site if you use my graphics, and ask that you NOT include these graphics in your own collections. Thank you : )
Well articulated, but a strange wish to stop the circulation of graphics she herself found somewhere else.

Okay, these were some pretty normal homepage awards. But Heidi also completed her community center’s HTML courses and received two diplomas:
Before Yahoo! bought Geocities, the “neighborhoods” were administrated by users with similar interests. Community leaders would offer tips on how to create web pages.
Compare these diplomas with badges users try to earn on 4square or achievements they can win in egoshooters … isn’t knowledge of HTML much cooler?

Isn’t it practical if you happen to own a chandelier that has exactly the right amount of lights you need for your navigation?

I was surprized to see a glitter graphic at Geocities. Though, the page where I found it was last updated in 2004, so it fits.
And still feels wrong: Glitter is Myspace, not Geocities. Geocities are 90es, not 00s.

Alan has been keeping an online diary on Geocities since 1998. (He claims to have started one year later, apparently doesn’t remember his page14.htm.) In 2007 he had this insight:
I have been keeping a diary here since 1999. In those days I was perhaps a bit ahead of my time. Now I am behind the times. Basically this is a blog and I should recognise the fact and use a proper blog page. So I am taking a break here whilst I start a blog, but might well return to this site in due course. After all it has been home for 8 years. The new blog can be found at
http://alansalmanac.blogspot.com
Let’s see how that goes. You are welcome to go over and read it.
Of course he never returned. Well, his new blog seems okay sort of. It gets updated, it has photos – and it lacks the intimacy of the old site’s hand crafted HTML. Indeed it was basic and for sure looked very much like many other self-made pages. But there is still a difference between looking very much like something else and looking exactly like thousands of others using the same blogspot.com template.
