@marlboromaam Once I complete Year 11, I may drop the links to the previous years’ posts.
I like to be reminded of
(a) what I was doing on that date in previous years and
(b) how I think I’ve grown as a photographer,
but it’s also sometimes embarrassing what I’ve chosen to post in the past. So it’s a double-edged sword.

@rhoing Nice!!! I only dabbled in HTML - just enough to make me dangerous at the time. I loved creating flash files, but that's gone now too. Things have far passed me by, but I'm not that troubled by it as I used to be.
@marlboromaam I had to get out of web design because it developed too much, too fast.

One web site I helped create many, many years ago still has my original design and graphics in one section: http://dgorton.com/portfolio.html :)
