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.
Past Layouts
Here are my favourites of old layouts. Rest were well… yuck.
Edition Flowers
I decided to make light layout (which didn’t last in the end) for a change. First it was pretty much grey toned with some turquoise and then it went to green. I also ditched monospace fonts.
Edition Moonspace
Moonspace was my first completely fluid layout.
Edition Moongrass
For some reason my offline friends seem to like this one. It’s not horrible… but umm… I didn’t like it so much. And it’s straight follow for “Edition Space”, basically I just changed the colors and header picture.
Edition Space
I wanted to stay in space but I was bored with blue.
Edition Moon
…blue moon. Back to roots (at least in that way that this one had most to do with the name). As said it started from the base of “NoDisc” with lot of thick borders around text… but finally went to all black background and moon in the sky.
Edition NoDisc
This time I wanted something that tells about my personal interests like music. Theme went thru some different phases and turned finally to…
Edition Red Angel
This one is a remix of “Edition Angel”, I had troubles with link underlines, but I liked the colors, it was my grunge theme. (Second layout under Moonthology.org domain.)
Edition Absinthe
Jo said that this looks like absinthe… well maybe. I was just doing some weird stuff. It has “Lingonberry Pudding’s” base.
Edition Lingonberry Pudding
Dark flowers, mint and lingonberry pudding… I kinda liked this. But it was quite unpractical. I didn’t use frames but divs and overflow.
Edition Angel
Definitely much better that earlier ones. I wanted to do something new and well slightly more “cleaner” looking.
Edition Moss
After the foot I photographed moss and made some experiments with frames… My first and last frame-layout.
Edition Foot
My first proper layout… it’s my foot. I liked it a lot _. Joys of scanning. (I even tried iframes in one variation… they didn’t look good so I gave up from that.) And as you can see I have had monospace font -fetish already long.
