My first ever website I wrote with mod_include and .shtml - updating a website was just adding a few tags.

Also I miss framesets - with that a proper sidebar navigation was easily possible.

Same here.

I’m not saying my first website was impressive — but as a programmer there’s no way I was copying and pasting the same header / footer stuff into each page and quickly found “shtml” and used that as much as possible.

Then used the integrated FTP support in whatever editor it was (“HTML-kit” I think it was called?) - to upload it straight to prod. Like a true professional cowboy.
