Since April 1995
The Motley Focus (including 
its literary magazine, AfterNoon), was one of the Internet's first e-zines. 
We stopped updating it in late 2003 . Wonderful poems, art and short stories 
are available here. In it's heyday the Motley recieved hundreds of thousands 
of hits.The layout is now way behind the the curve, but when the Motley 
first appeared, it wasn't that different in appearence than the New Yorker 
and other mainstream magazines who were slow to get on the Internet.. 
It was almost entirely hand coded on a Mac by William Timberman. The front 
page has been redone in an aging version of Dreamweaver.News Groups of 
the day were a mess. The Open Committes of Correspondence were an early 
attempt at blogs with out modern software which make them convienent.
