My Tripod.com site is still up!

I almost completely forgot about this. I created a site a looonnngg time ago on Tripod. I can’t remember how long ago but I’m pretty sure it was either before or just during the advent of Web 2.0. Tripod actually got bought later by Lycos, and Lycos still runs it.

I created my site with MS FrontPage which was simple to use yet gave my site a very clean, highly-customized look that still is appealing.

I really give credit to Lycos for keeping Tripod going all these years. In an industry where so many things are fickle and come and go at the drop of a dime, that’s really an accomplishment.

I am trying to imaging some server somewhere in some data center where the files for my website reside and how long the system has been running or how many times the hardware infrastructure has been modified or upgraded to keep Tripod going.

Tripod is still cool if someone wants to set up a site for their business or for personal use. Logging in, I see some new tools like Blog Builder, Photo Album, and their site-building tool called Zeeblio.
