Let me add a fun one. It's a site that opens in the 68k version of iCab called PageTutor: https://www.pagetutor.com/html_tutor/index.html I used these lessons to help me practice HTML code, although the advertising and sidebar don't stay put. The ZIP download version of the HTML tutorial works better after you click on lesson one from the index page. Here's the download link: https://www.pagetutor.com/downloads/PageTutor.zip I forgot to add another great HTML reference: http://www.blooberry.com Here are some goofball System 7-compatible sites still online: http://mcom.com - Mosaic Communications Corp site http://acme.com - freeware site http://www.lost-world.com/ingen - Jurassic Park company website http://milk.com - don't ask, just check it out http://toastytech.com/evil - Microsoft is evil site, lol http://www.pmichaud.com/toast - site about Patrick's interests http://www.cnn.com/US/OJ - CNN's ancient site about OJ's murder case http://www.joyofmacs.com/ - another neat, oft forgotten site of a Classic Mac nut - like all of us, lol, I mean expert  it includes lists of Classic Mac OS hacks from System 7.0 up to Mac OS 9.1

Thread is sticky now and I've added all the items to the front list (sorry for the delay, some are awesome :-D) (kudos to pagetutor, a page with a messed up navbar teaching about HTML/CSS :-D )

haha, right? well, you have to go easy on PageTutor since it likely saw a few updates since it was launched in 2000 or perhaps even earlier, lol As proof of this, the archived site renders just fine in iCab  https://web.archive.org/web/20001018225332id_/http://www.pagetutor.com The download back then only offered the first few lessons, but again, they render perfectly in iCab so I suppose it went through some changes which broke the compatibility with older browsers, as usually happens

We'll make sure to add the Garden (of course!) once the new retro theme goes online. The old (current) one makes my Netscape choke ... 68k.news is awesome. I wasn't aware of that, this definitely deserves more attention. Thanks for sharing!

Hey FogWraith, welcome aboard, matey sweet! now I can skip trying to load CNN on my System 7 browser for the latest news, yay The more we dig, the more we find anyone remember this gem?http://www.macshare.com I think it may predate the Garden, lol it even has a text-only directory version And now, how about sites that Chrome can't even display anymore but our humble 68k and PPC browsers easily can? FTP sites like this one and so many others!ftp://ftp.home.vim.org/site/info-mac.org/info-mac/ This next one might work in Opera 5 for PPC? It's compatible with System 7.5.3 up to 9.x on PPC Macs Opera just never released a 68k version here is the site:http://macmania.byethost18.com And finally, http://www.knubbelmac.de is a little German site that makes a very good argument for using Classic Macs for everyday use

Lol, absolutely! Not only is it on my top link in my favorites bar, I also removed the other search engines and added FrogFind! to iCab's search address bar, booyah!

Yeah, that's extremely cool! Gets me really excited how stuff like that just pops up all out of a sudden. I e-mailed Sean (the author) about the page. Right now, it seems to parse all search results and displays them as simple html. Which is very nice, since that's what even a Mac Plus will be able to do. But the majority of modern pages will just display the text on the index page and that's it. (at least, that is my impression after browsing around for a few dozen). What I think would be kick-ass is if you could filter for full-fledged websites HTML 3 / 4 pages only. So pages that are either old remnants or new-old (like System 7 Today, Cornica, the upcoming Mac Garden etc.) and have a kind of "small, retro compatible website universe". Almost like an alternative internet, 90's style

When we finally get really inspired, lol, I am so not the right chap to be yakking about stuff like that we can look at projects like this one to come across the next big thing for 68k Macs:https://68kmla.org/forums/topic/55998-building-a-spotify-player-for-my-mac-se30/ But I wonder if the server implementation used in FrogFind can be emulated to later expand it to include the HTML 3 and 4 filters. At the very least, exclude only secure websites since those definitely don't work. The 3.0 version would be a site that performs a search and then serves HTML 3/4 unsecure versions of sites. I imagine doing so might necessitate filtering out secure logins fields? So email would still use services like the one S7T already has in place for it.

More sites http://frogfind.com - Search the web on your 68k http://68k.network - YouTube on your 68k (will probably host a version of this on S7T)
