I started making websites back in high school wherein I made an online version of Magnum Opus, our section paper I edited for our journalism class, through an available what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) program in Lycos.

After forgetting its URL, I decided to make my first personal website at Geocities entitled "Jerry Online." Its background is black, the usual color used by beginning web designers. After that, I transformed it into a webpage ranting on the comicbook series "Teen Titans," which was visited by a lot of people abroad, mainly because its famous message board counterpart linked my site. I was using Geocities Pagebuilder then, an online WYSIWYG program.

Then, the blog craze also caught me up. Blogger.com hosted my first blog, Meteorcrasher. In its templates’ codes, I started to study how HTML works. But perhaps, the time I understood more the art and science of handcoding was when my orgmate Kate Pedroso customized a blog layout for me. Since then, I’ve been changing my blog layout monthly.

The next person that influenced me was my close friend’s brother Jason Paul Laxamana, a Peyups.com columnist who has a manual blog hosted by Geocities. I was motivated to create one, to harness my handcoding skills. So was born the Silverbolt.

Generally, I have a new design every month. Browse on the links on the right to see how my site has progressed.
