Someone on Twitter mentioned BeOS, and that got me looking over my old pictures from the previous incarnations of my blog. This was how the site looked when I hand-coded it. I miss it.

I had created the graphics all by hand in a graphic editing program that came with FrontPage 97, called Microsoft Image Composer. (I still can’t drive Photoshop.)
This is what it looked like before I did a big upgrade. I still like the look of the title with the color gradient.

I still use the 4-corner gradient I created with that program as my desktop background on every computer I use.
