About this site

I’ve had a website at www.gyford.com since late 1997. Here’s the Internet Archive’s first version, from June 1998. Before that I had a website at www.paranoia.com/~fabius from 1995, which is archived here.

This current site, launched in 2018, contains all the content from previous versions of the site, from 2000 onwards, when I first started a weblog here. I wrote about creating the site’s code in this blog post. Pages containing writing from earlier versions retain their original designs:

This site is written in the python framework Django and hosted on Mythic Beasts. The code I’ve written is available on GitHub, including:

The HTML and CSS is, in parts, adapted from Bootstrap. I have created a pattern library of the elements used across the site.
