I started my first website about 20 years ago. I was inspired by @cpvr when I joined https://virtualpetlist.com in its early days, which eventually led me to start coding my own site.

I learned a lot from a virtual pet site that had been hacked, and its code was released publicly. That got me into PHP programming, where I started making my own feature changes and fixing bugs. It was a great way to learn and develop my skills.

How about you? How did you get started with websites?

I was a big fan of Promotion Wars back in the day and saw there were resource sites. I designed one using some trendy iframes on Geocities and became 2nd biggest resource site.

Then I designed websites for LWHD-TV, which was a site you could watch wrestling. Made £100 when that sold.

And I’ve just had itch ever since to keep designing stuff.

I started a multiple niche blog a long time ago. The problem with that website was the fact that it was a blog which was based in a free domain. It never became successful. I wanted to generate a lot of revenue through that blog. Having said that, I might start a blog in the future. I always wanted to restart a multiple niche blog. Such blogs are really interesting.
