It has been an unreal honor to be part of this project, you definitely will want to check it out & it is ever-evolving in real time β₯
thanks to the hard work of the volunteer transcribers, we've finished transcribing 6,000 (!) blinkies archived from old geocities websites!
we've used the transcripts to build Geoblinkies, a blinkie search engine that searches the full text & image descriptions of all 6,000 blinkies!! you can also visit the Geocities page that each blinkie was found on, and explore the old web from there :D
thank you so much to the transcribers and to GifCities & the Internet Archive (the source of all of these blinkies) for making projects like this possible!!!

So a quick funny story regarding how this account came to be, this morning while deleting sub-blogs of my Tumblr account I accidentally selected to delete the entire account ._.
That is about as fun as it sounds & while I am disappointed in the years of curation being gone luckily I recently downloaded a backup of sorts that at the very least gives me a lot of what I was working with in the past.
I am simply taking it a blessing and lesson & moving forward with a new account, but that being said " Shower me in Stardust " lives forever, just in a new home!
