By 2016 many of these have left the Web, specially after Geocities - probably the largest website hosting service - was acquired by Yahoo and shutdown in October 26, 2009. However, thanks to the efforts of archiving efforts from Archive Team and others, a part of Geocities website can still be browsed today.

Tools 4 Procedural Publishing

01_Publishing on the World Wide Web

In this first session we'll focus on how publish on the World Wide Web.

We'll get familiar with simple tools such as HTML and CSS, which constitute the basis of any website.

Jointly we'll investigate how, before the arrival of Web 2.0 social media platforms, publishing on the Web was a DIY activity, which resulted in an explosion of form and content put out in the form of homepages for the world to see.

By 2016 many of these have left the Web, specially after Geocities - probably the largest website hosting service - was acquired by Yahoo and shutdown in October 26, 2009. However, thanks to the efforts of archiving efforts from Archive Team and others, many of the Geocities hosted web pages can still be browsed today.

As a an outcome of this 2-day session I propose the collaborative development of a website charting the history and existence of Geocities, using HTML and CSS. The result can be anything from a time-line, a map, or travel guide through the formers territories of Geocities.
