The FM Portal is a passion project that has been running on and off since 2006. Back then I used to come home from school and manually check every FM website and then write a little blog post about what content each site had posted that day.

These days the site is mostly automated but if it rings a bell and you can't place it, check the links to the wayback machine for some nostalgia.

October 2006 - The very first (and very, very green) version.
October 2007 - A slightly nicer blue and green version.
October 2008 - Another new version. This one stuck around for a while.
July 2013 - A new more boring version, the first attempt at automation and the last attempt until now.
