Not much happening here

This domain name, tylerjca.com, is only a placeholder. We used to have an interesting site to show you but that was back in our high school days. 20 years ago, this was a text/html-based website where the only images were registered users' display pics and users could customize their page colours, background and borders. They could post hilarious things that have happened to them or chat with other users from within a single javascript/php based chat room. You know those days? Back when high school blocked the ability to use executable files in your student virtual drive so you couldn't install your favourite chat program (ie. Yahoo, ICQ or MSN Messenger ).

 

Design

This box here... the one you're reading? Yeah it was the basis of how the entire website was designed. Every element has the same basic "box" feel except the registered users had the ability to modifty all of the following..

  • ..top, right, bottom and left border colour
  • ..basic font colour and size
  • ..background colour
  • ..link colours both normal and when mouse is hovering
  • ..button colours, which also mimicked the border and background styles of the boxes
  • ..form input field colours mimicked the box styles
.. individually.

Here's the kicker: Every page was designed using the <table>, <tr> and <td> HTML tags! Which of course, anyone who has done website design in the last 15 or so years can tell you is a big "Hell no!" Modern websites, especially ones designed to meet big search engines' high rank criteria should be using CSS and <div> tags and make their web sites "Responsive." That just means the web pages automatically resize themselves to fit any size browser, including large desktop screens and mobile devices. This wasn't a big problem back in ~2004~ but using tables was still considered... bad?
