RETRO WEEK!!! Join in! Spread the word!

In honor of my earlier post about the homepages a lot of us used to have and may still have a copy saved somewhere… I am hereby declaring the last week of September as RETRO WEEK!!! It’s the week of my birthday, so I picked that one. It’s also the same week as the Banned Book Project. Sort of fitting, considering it is a flashback to when information flowed a little more freely and those of us online thought that anything was possible on the internet. On September 23, 2001 everyone interested should change their blogs to have the look of their old personal home pages. Use the backgrounds, the flashing gifs, the spinning globes, the spunky e-mail icons, or whatever. I plan on using the clipart I had on my cute country homepage. I somehow managed to skip over the funky flashing pages, except for the special page dedicated to my mentor. I used the brightest and most annoying wallpaper I could find, and a bunch of animated bars. I have to give Jessy credit for making the comment that prompted me to make this post.

So, who is game? Anyone interested? It will be such fun! Then on the 30th of September or October 1st we can all be Freshly Made. (Have you signed up?) Post a comment if you want to join in. I will set up a specific page listing participants over the weekend. Spread the word! Let’s send the internet back in time!
