History
I created my first quite humble website – I think – 2004 (I haven’t been keeping record). I had been writing poems and exhibitionist inside me wanted to show them. It was on some free server, comic sans ms, black and blue. Quite horrible. I don’t even remember the name anymore. I went thru Tripod (I think I have one site still on Tripod) and Lycos and Cjb… And finally 2006 I ended up buying own domain (so Moonthology.org has been existing since 5.8.2006, before this it was called Moonage Anthology, more about name matters later).
Although my coding skills were quite shit at the time, I’m happy that at least I was learning from valid sources, not from crappy tutorial sites. Yeah I went to library, borrowed the most up to date HTML/XHTML and CSS books and read them. It was fun. Nowadays my favourite source is W3Schools (and Google… 
). I also wanted to make all the graphics myself and because I’m not so good in this area I stayed and I still stay in rather simple creations. My favourite image editing program is of course GIMP (try it).
Though I said I learned from valid sources, naturally I have tried everything from tables to frames to iframes and to divs. But I think I have made progress and I’m better than I was. Things I still need to learn… well using GIMP properly (and writing better in English 
).
Name
Earlier this site was called as Moonage Anthology now it’s Moonthology.org because I finally bought domain 5th of August (2006). Name change because MA was bit too long so moonthology comes from those two words.
And where two words came then. David Bowie has a song called Moonage Daydream (The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And Spiders From The Mars, 1972) so there comes Moonage. Anthology means e.g. poem collection and there’s an album by Bowie called Deram Anthology (1997) that compiles his early music.
