On 11 April 1999, the first version of this website went live, so we’ve now been online for 25 years.
There have been various changes over the years. For the first year it didn’t have the foston-church.org.uk domain name. It’s had four major rewrites (handwritten HTML, FrontPage, Dreamweaver and now WordPress), and four different hosts.
We’ve added various features over the years, such as the grave details, blog-style posts, and the shop, not to mentions the scores of minor updates.
In spite of all the changes, a lot of the site is very similar to the earliest versions: you can see versions going back to 2001 on Wayback Machine.
Only another thousand or so years to go until we’ll have been running for as long as the church!
