OK. I’ve been tagged twice on this one.

First Dr. Mani sent me a direct message on Twitter asking if I’d like to join into the conversation.

Then, Case Stevens hit me, also on Twitter.

Do you remember your first website?

At first I thought “of course” but then I realized that the site I had in mind was no where near my first one. But after dusting off my synapses I was able to remember.  It was November of 1999.

Here’s a look at the website using the Wayback Machine.  At the time, I was in touch with so many freelancers and getting pretty good at managing virtual teams that I thought there was a market for delivering marketing services to small businesses and corporations using my virtual team concept.

It was generally a bad idea to sell the idea of *how* the project got done rather than selling the actual result. Clients didn’t care how I did the project, they just wanted a done project!

Where did I host it?

I honestly don’t remmber, but it was a standard paid hosting package

How did it look?

To look at it now, the site screams “I used a Front Page template.”  Not a very professional image to put forth.  Of course, my logo was a build-it-yourself job, which is also obvious. LOL

How did you feel about it?

I was quite proud of it   Even though I had a little experience with building websites from the ‘client’ side, those were the days of the $10,000 online brochure sites. I was amazed that I could create something myself and not have to pay an agency to do it for me.

Now… YOU.

Here’s what to do.

1. Post to your blog with your “first time” story.
2. Link to this post somewhere in yours.
3. Tag someone you know, invite them to write about their “first time”.
4. If you’re on Twitter, tweet a link to your blog post – and use #myfirstweb to make it easy to find and list all tweets on the topic

After a week or two, we’ll compile a list of all these posts – and it will be fun to see how we all evolved in our journey through the Web!

Looking forward to seeing your “first time” story soon.
