I was going through some old files from high school tonight, and I ran upon a folder containing a story and a poem for a class I took my senior year: Writing for the 21st Century. It was probably one of my more favorite classes in school. Among other things, such as writing a short story and a poem, one of the projects was to design a web site for a teacher. I chose my old biology teacher, Kevin Jones, for mine. Curious if my web site still existed, I went to Northmont’s home page and found that, yes, Mr. Jones was still using the site I created waaaay back on September 22, 1999.

Now bear in mind, this was the first web site I ever designed, and it definitely shows. We used some sort of weird program, though I don’t remember what it was. What I do remember is how proud I was of the logo I created, even though it looks pretty crappy. And I recall I had a whole lotta trouble with the anchor links, which served to link to various sections on the same page. They wouldn’t work properly, failing to call up the proper section when clicked upon.

It looks so damn terrible to me now, I sort of wish I could redesign the whole damn thing, if only so that my name isn’t attached to such a boring and displeasing-to-the-eye web site. Fortunately, I doubt too many people, other than Mr. Jones’s students, have ever been subjected to its visual…failings.

So without further ado, here is Mr. Kevin Jones’s Official Homepage.
