Geocities Backgrounds (pixelmoondust.neocities.org)

Geocities was pretty darn cool. My very first website was there but just figuring the place out, the neighborhoods and the depth of the place was like a new adventure at the time. I chose area51

As a person that loves tiled desktop wallpaper backgrounds, thank you

Wish I found this sooner; my first website I made many years ago contains 2 or 3 background images which I also found on various neocity sites (yungztrunks.de)

Can’t tap tiles to change background on Firefox iOS.

They also make for great retro PowerPoint backgrounds :)

bless this mess

Page doesn't load correctly for me, they seem to be hosting the images in a sketchy looking domain (I'm sure its not actually sketchy), corporate firewall is ruining my retro nostalgic experience.

Actually, the correct index is this one: https://pixelmoondust.neocities.org/archives/archivedtiles/b...

That page can't be very old because it doesn't use any frames!

I love these - I wonder if anyone has put them together in an archive to download all at once?

Geocities and Angelfire are how I learned to program for the web. Amazing how much of the fundamentals of the web are still exactly the same as they were back then (90s). Just with a lot more layers of libraries today.

I think I recognize some of these as coming from a tiled background pack I used back in the 90s. Maybe associated with the Enlightenment Window Manager project?

yeahhh, but did you have a cool cjb.net redirect to show your friends in the progs channel?

Dear Web Developers: THIS is what I want for surfing the World Wide Web. Simple UI, maybe some tiled gifs, and that's it!

Stop all the corpo-brutalist nonsense and give me back my flame gifs!

I miss having my own little website. It wasn't a blog or even a weblog because those words didn't exist yet. I especially miss the mix of icons and widgets I'd curate at the bottom of the page, the most important of which was the counter (which was mostly counting my own visit to my own page). This was probably around 1994 when I was 12 or 13.

Is there a way to dig up old GeoCities pages? My only thought is to remember the URL and get it from internet archive but I can't remember my 4 digit number. I think I was in the "Baja" area.

Anyone remember a software to generate images such as these?

I think it was called something like Terralogic Texture Maker (ttm.exe) and I've been looking for it for years.

dont forget blinkies!

Oh, hey, that's my archive!!! I noticed a sudden jump in activity to my neocities and through a little bit of sleuthing (a single search on Twitter) I found a post, and through that post I found this website...kinda wild to see my little archive being noticed anywhere, but I am definitely flattered!
