“These borders are here for your use. Please DO NOT link directly to any of these graphics! Right click on the graphic and ‘save image as’ to save them to your own hard drive. Then upload the graphic to your directory to place on your homepage.”
Found at the graphics collection page of HPIP (Heartland Partners in Prayer). Very pre-cloud appeal. The instructions probably sound absolutely strange for todays users, who customize their profiles with free graphics.
On the bottom of the collection there is another note to the community members:
In other words: let’s share, but still lets keep some sites unique … please.
Btw, I didn’t remember that these types of backgrounds were called “borders”.

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.
