 ## My First Love on the Web
 
 The first web site I ever loved was called Illucia: The Town of Final Fantasy. It was created in 1995 by someone named Tatsushi Nakao, who I assume either worked for or attended the University of Colorado. (I believe this to be the case because of Illucia's URL: http://ucsub.colorado.edu/~nakao/fftown.html)

+title: The Old Web Onramp Status Updates
+relativeUrl: /blog/the-old-web
+tags: feed
+---
+
+I added a key to the top of the onramps section to explain the link status icons, and I updated a lot of the statuses. Here's what changed:
+
+# Links that died ☠️
+
+- Terra
+- Nerd Listing
+- DOKODEMO LINKS
+
+# Links that were fixed/updated
+
+I'm not sure if I had the wrong URLs to begin with on these or if they changed since I added them.
+
+- [cinni's links](https://cinni.net/links.html){rel="nofollow}
+- [Links - Kalechips](https://kalechips.net/links.php){rel="nofollow"}
+
+# Links that are weird now
+
+Most of these have expired SSL certificates, but one of them has a bunch of broken links. Maybe they'll be fixed someday, or maybe they're on their way out.
