Welcome to my mini website!
I made this website to answer the question: what if it's before the year 2000, you want to make a website to show a friend, but your friend doesn't have internet access?
That friend does have a 3.5" floppy disk drive. After all, it's the late 90's, and everyone has one. You need to make a website that fits on that 1.44MB floppy disk, has everything included on the disk, but has enough polish to show that you respect them. You want to include some photos from a recent trip, tell them about yourself and what you like. And, if they do get internet access, give them some websites they can explore.
So, what is a mini website?
It's a portable website that fits on a 1.44MB 3.5" floppy disk. Here's the requirements to make one:
Requirements
Valid HTML4 or older
Valid CSS2.0 or older
At least 4 pages (ex: home, about, hobbies, links)
Non-text assets (images, video) totaling 500KB
Human-readable code
All assets provided locally
All assets total 1.44 Megabytes
Recommended
Background image/tile
Alt tags on images
CSS in its own file
Sensible folder structure
Low-res thumbnail for photos
Allowed media
Formats in use before 2000, including:
Images in JPG, GIF, or PNG
Audio in MP3, WMA, or RealAudio
Video in MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, or RealVideo
Macromedia Flash 4.0 or older
So, how do I make my own mini website?
Just make a website compliant with the specifications above, and validate it with the W3C Markup Validation Service and the W3C CSS Validation Service.
