I've been a member of nairaland since August 2006, I was trying to design a webpage and found something about that here.

I don't remember if I was visiting the site as a guest before then, perhaps not. I was active on the other Nigerian site which used to be one of the popular ones back in the early days of Nigerian sites.

Well, I was typing as my usual polite self until nairalanders turned me into a rascal.

Anyway, the site offered a web design tutorial similar to what I was familiar with at the time (start with html, etc), and also I'm not sure if there was a header saying Nigerian site/Nigerians back then? In any case, the site had a lot of Nigerians of all types .

When I joined, there were a lot of members but in the following years, they grew exponentially, it was crazy. Same thing happened in literature section, used to be one of the slowest and then just like that, someone brought in thousands or tens of thousands of ids and they all started writing content like mad.

Well, the site is now at 2,363,209 members, 5,248,471 topics, interesting and that's great for the owner/s no doubt.

Here is my first post:

xanadu, could you open a separate thread , while we continue with this one? I was trying to follow the step-by-step method ncpat started. Now I'm getting confused again.
Thanks for your help, but I think we may need two separate threads. God bless you both.


you didn't do it on purpose, did you?

So, I guess you're back to your polite self now?

One of my earlier memories here is buying a book of poetry from someone, I can't even remember the author's name.

I actually only bought it because I liked the cover. But it was good.
