Business first: in the words of Billy the Kid, I made you a promise, Mr Tunstall. And I've kept that promise. I've finally "finished" the first stages of MausOfElliott.com. Je te presente the hottest retro-90s, non-flash, plain-speaking, salt-of-the-earth website in town. If websites had accents, this one would sound like it came from Lancashire. I wanted to make the website they don't make websites like anymore. The url ends in in "html", no "htm" here. Not for us the browser-crashing ten minute flash intro sequence, no tinkly whalesong playing in the background here. Yes, the sophistication of this site begins and ends with googled javascripts, and it's even hosted by Geocities, such is my respect for historical accuracy. It does use stylesheets, admittedly, a relatively dramatic departure from my old unnavigable websites, where every page had individually hand-typed list of links across the top. Thanks to Tom for helping me out with the CSS. From now on updates will be happening on the new site. At Jane's request, I've kept the wallpaper.
