KathyStinson.com — 20 Years Already?
The World Wide Web was invented by an English scientist, Tim Berners-Lee, in 1989. Through the 1990s, it became increasingly useful and popular. Thanks to my tech-savvy sister, Janet Barclay, www.kathystinson.com came into being in 1999.
Janet wrote about last year’s total makeover of my site (after many updates along the way) on her own site: Janet Barclay: Web Design with a Personal Touch. It’s pretty neat, how its current design came to be.
We’ve recently made it easier than ever to subscribe to my blog. Heads up — my next post will be a real bean-spiller about projects I’ve been working on lately.
This year is the 30th anniversary of the WWW. Are you more inclined to celebrate what it has contributed to our lives or to lament its misuse? Bonus points to anyone who says www.kathystinson.com has made the world a better place. 😉
