As you can see around the comments, the Maiden, Mother, Crone thing that I saw is made almost entirely from whole cloth by much more modern sources than the lineage they claimed, but it made a decent frame to the stories.

I learned about Neocities when they gave a talk some years ago about the strengths of Geocities and how, even though Sturgeon's Law applied, it was an intensely democratizing force for the web, because it was one of the first places that hosted for the cost of advertising, and so it lowered the cost of getting a page or two on the Internet to learning how to code it, instead of having to do server maintenance and domain registration and a lot more of the technical stuff as well.

And yeah, there was a lot of comparison going on in those days (as well as being able to examine source to see how it was done, rather than stuff hiding behind Flash, JS, and frameworks the way it is now (with less Flash, now that it's officially been deprecated.)
