Link

Back 2 HomePage and List

 

The hyper link is still there. Probably will be forever. Buried in the HTML till the web freezes over. Of you open my page you can still see it there, underlined text in blue. A written name floating on the dull gray background. Clean Bold Arial, 14 pts high and beautiful. By far the best link on the whole page. If you look closely you can see the gentle curves of the font, clear on the outside, soft and warm where the letters open up.

A link to another… place/page/world.

It still works, the hyper link. Move over it and the hard sharp pointer changes into a hand, a soft hand, a gentle hand pointing to a site other then this… pages that are far off in another place, another server all together.

Once… in a time that is steadily growing farther away… to click it, the hyper link, was to shoot off like a rocket into space. Windows opening and closing, systems working hard to make the needed changes, views and resolution shimmering into new and wonderful realities. A new kind of site, modern in design and antique in content. A fully featured and interactive site with a colored background and flowing text. Animation flashing and sound effects washing over the screen. But it was also a different kind of site, a deeper site It was, with a sense of profound that hasn’t been seen for ages on the world wide web.  The kind of site that takes your breath away and pulls you in, deeper and deeper till the line between virtual and real becomes jagged and fuzzy. A link to the kind of site that you find once in a life time, if you are one of the lucky ones that is…

That was once… when the web was young and so were the users.

Now it’s another hyper link on a white page. Still wonderful, still beautifully designed.

Only now… if you find manage to find my page and click the link…

The only thing you find… is …
