Dead HTML Tag Society

a webring for personal sites, in loving memory of <blink>

Once upon a time the web was full of tags that made things move, glow, and scroll sideways for no reason. Browsers killed them off one by one — not because they were dangerous, but because they were too much fun. This is a webring for people with personal sites who still believe a little too much fun is exactly the right amount. Each member adopts a patron tag from the departed and wears it like a badge of honor.
