Naturally, this role expands into the continuation -->!-- of the textfile-writing world into the 1990s, and goes back to the -->!-- 1960s and 1970s as well. If you have any questions, feel free to -->!-- mail them to jason@textfiles.com. Submissions are always wanted. -->!-- Unlike a lot of sites, this Page Source has a lot of comments. This -->!-- is because this sites main purpose is education, and a user should -->!-- have the opportunity to see how this site was created and what the -->!-- thought process was behind the look. Plus, the site weighs in at a -->!-- very low size, so giving an explanation with the download is not a -->!-- very bandwidth-intensive activity, and might inspire someone. -->!-- Since TEXTFILES.COM harkens back to an earlier era, but is being done -->!-- in the modern era, it is the usual blend of recent features and hacks -->!-- to simulate older technology. In this case, everything is in green -->!-- (which, believe it or not, is the light that the eye takes the longest -->!-- to get tired looking at) on a black screen, and the visual hook is -->!-- the Blinking Cursor, which has disappeared in a lot of mainstream, -->!-- windowed applications. This is accomplished with small animated GIFs. -->!-- Now, lets make the page the usual black background and green text. -->BODY BGCOLOR#000000 TEXT00FF00 LINK00FF00 ALINK#00FF00 VLINK#00FF00>!-- Where possible, use the courier font, which looks like old-style typewriter faces.

P> On deeper inspection, of course, this isnt quite the case. What this site offers is a glimpse into the history of writers and artists bound by the 128 characters that the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) allowed them. The focus is on mid-1980s textfiles and the world as it was then, but even these files are sometime retooled 1960s and 1970s works, and offshoots of this culture exist to this day. /FONT>/TD>/TR>/TABLE>!-- Having completed the quick blurb introduction, give the user -->!-- five choices. Essentially, WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY, and HOW. -->P>!-- These five choices are presented in their own table, which has a -->!-- WIDTH tag set slightly larger than the table above. This is in -->!-- truth a somewhat meaningless width, since all three items are GIFs -->!-- and are only on one line, so how wide it is is How Wide It Is. The -->!-- tag is mostly added for completeness, and potentially to help the -->!-- browser to render. -->TABLE WIDTH640>TR>TD ALIGNCENTER>!-- Where are the Files? will take the user to the file directory. -->!-- When designing a site, it is very important to know what it is your -->!-- intended audience is going to want and to give it to them. All the -->!-- work you put into providing a nice-looking page will be meaningless -->!-- if the users are feeling they are wading through your work to get -->!-- to whatever it is they specifically want. To this end, the main -->!-- point of this site is to give users textfiles, so the archives -->!-- are the first selection. -->A HREFdirectory.html>IMG WIDTH219 HEIGHT28 ALT Where are the Files? SRCimages/wheref.gif BORDER0>/A>TD ALIGNCENTER>!-- Who are You? answers the question of who runs the site. -->!-- Often, people like to know what person or persons are behind the site -->!-- they are browsing, to see if they can pick up biases, or, if the site -->!-- is interesting, to learn more about the person who made the site, as -->!-- they too might be interesting. I have taken advantage of that to put -->!-- all of my historical perspectives, site news, and personal writing -->!-- on a page about myself, separate from the rest of the file pages. -->!-- This also means that the people who are reading stuff about me will -->!-- be people who have shown, by clicking the middle selection, that they -->!-- like to get a big picture view of everything.
