I missed the Geocities time but my similar experience was MySpace. That my first introduction into any sort of code. I have no idea at the time what I was copying and pasting into my page. But was able to eventually learn and change things through it. Really no current platform that is used to allow this level of customization. At most it’s a banner or profile image to express yourself publicly.

Same here, Myspace (and my dad’s Macromedia Dreamweaver book) was my entry to code. Oh how I miss it!

I started working on a social network that’s basically that era of Myspace but got sidetracked by other projects. I’ll probably get back to it around the holidays.

It still exists, a young developer has recreated myspace (you can edit html & css on your profile!!1!): https://spacehey.com/
