Make the Card, 3: Retro Additions
While the websites of today have so much more capability than back then, there were still quite a few noteworthy things that you'd regularly see on people's websites. Let's look at how we can implement a few.
I've collected a few resources you can use for this:
Tacky Gifs
Gifs are both terrible and wonderful.
I'll add a few to my site.

Adding Music
So much of the early web had music, eventually we had decent quality MP3s that we could use (and fast enough internet speeds for them), but originally, we used midi files. I'm going to add one to my card.

Other Effects, Snow & Rain
There were whole hosts of other effects too. A lot of these use both CSS and JS now, and some of them are pretty complicated. There's still a few that are somewhat easy to implement. I found both some snow and rain I can add to my page.
