HTML
consists of so-called tags, like the A tag for links,
IMG tag for images and so on. Since tags are nested in
other tags, they are arranged in a hierarchical manner, and that
hierarchy can be represented as a graph. I've written a little app
that visualizes such a graph, and here are some screenshots of
websites that I often look at.

He's even made the applet available for
use. It's pretty cool. Here's the structure of my homepage:
A fairly simple structure, and that grey blob in the upper left hand
corner is the <HEAD> section with all the metadata for
the page. For comparrison, here is The Boston
Diaries:
And again, that grey blob in the lower right hand corner is the
<HEAD> section, with the multitude of metadata. This
page is still well structured, but with a lot more content.
It's a pretty cool app.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
