Like many other people I know, my first website was on Geocities. I learned HTML along the way by trying things out there - the WYSIWYG and fill-in-the-blank editors were too limiting, so the challenge of the "advanced" editor (a big empty text box) was what inspired me to start learning.

Sometime after I signed up, they doubled the space you were allowed to TWO megabytes. I remember wondering how anyone would ever use that much space.
