| My key takeaways: 1. When I say "as backwards compatible as possible," I mean that this website will be usable on as many browsers, connections, and hardware as I can reasonably support 2. Raw HTML is Your Friend Remember the <FONT> tag? And <TABLE> based layouts? What about <CENTER>? I do 3. I won't go into the technical details here (Low Tech Magazine does a far better job explaining it than I can), but the thing to know is that dithering allows you to reduce the filesize of your images by reducing the amount of information it takes to render them 4. OldWeb.Today The most frequently used tool in my arsenal, oldweb.today is a website that allows you to emulate a number of different retro browsers (from NCSA Mosaic to Netscape Navigator) from directly within your own browser I practice a lot of these things on my website locserendipity.com, and the associated search engine, which is the only one that you can download with a working index, albeit it is limited to only around a million entries. This experimental search engine indexes all of the .edu pages on DMOZ circa 2010. It also has a local index: https://locserendipity.com/edu.html?q=amateur%20radio |
