I went from hacking up the source HTML files I designed on Geocities and uploading them to Freewebs (so I could remove the linkback/ads) and it worked really well for a while. Then I wanted dynamic stuff and PHP was perfect. Eventually I accepted the stigma it had even while I never really bumped into the ugly parts, or even treated it as a normal programming language.

I think after bouncing around with Node and the flavor-of-the-week static site generators, I might be going back to PHP for my personal sites.

Which is insane. If you told me I'd be heading in this direction anywhere between 2 and 15 years ago, I'd think you were lying.

All I really need are template files. I could use iframes but that stinky technology actually deserves its stink.
