Just browsing around I stumbled onto this awesome page: https://www.geocitiesarchive.org/arclc/h/u/humehwy31/aug1.ht...

This is someone doing an early form of blogging, chronicling a road trip all across Australia, with a bunch of photos. I love how simple the website is, and how the author took time to explain what links were and what you should do to navigate through the posts.

That's the kind of stuff that was so neat to explore back in the day. What a trip down memory lane!

I was looking for my travel diary of Australia I wrote on Geocities in 2000 and didn't find it. Then I saw your comment and it made my day:)

Also didn't find my Praguecheapflats geocities site which was basically a precursor of Airbnb from 2001 and allowed me to travel the world full time for 10 years.

Geocities was really amazing for me, a non technical guy who just wanted to put stuff online.

Large pictures took long time to load with a dial-up connection.
