I'm checking out free web hosting providers that can be used for fun and personal websites.

I wanted to know what to recommend to people who want to make their own website, so I decided to try things out for myself!

Testing Free Website Hosts

Maintaining a personal 'manual' website is a tedious act but very rewarding, I have just integrated my latest digital work:

Today is the day of the "I feel like I should add something to my website's homepage, but I don't know what that should be"-dilemma...

Now presenting

Make Your Own Website
https://web.pixelshannon.com/make

This guide is intended to help beginners make their first website with HTML/CSS.

I originally wrote it for my daughter, then 12 years old, so she could make a website for a school project. I think it is now complete-enough for anyone to follow to get started making a personal or hobby site.

Let me know what you think!

I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week unless I fall behind this schedule. So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPH Vol. 30: "the museum of alexandra" https://xandra.cc/

PS: @xandra is on Mastodon!

Edited to my website:

My comparison of fic repository sites based on AO3's code: SquidgeWorld, Ad Astra, superlove, and Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive. Also gazed at Ourchive.

2128 words, 12755 characters. Too thicc for one blorbo post.

hey #indieweb folks, as promised I've started to find a way to donate some time, hardware, and expertise to those looking to carve out some space online. To that end I've got a #VM running #yunohost on some mostly-idle hardware in my basement. If anyone would like to use some self-hosted services or perhaps put their own small website up on the internet, let me know and I'll help you out!

#boost if you know someone who needs this

the https://32bit.cafe team ( @yequari, @flamed, jay, & @cooperationiskey) did a group interview for the FROM THE SUPERHIGHWAY newsletter! so so so cool to feel seen with what we're doing and be able to answer thoughtful questions about the #indieweb and hobby web development :)

ugh, I hate it when I don't know what I'm doing...

I know HTML is supposed to be easy but it's a weak point for me. I've never been the creative type. I'm more technical and if there's any creativity in what I do that is technical it's finding ways to either get something to work or to break into something so I can gain access...

Formatting words to read and look pretty on a page is like teaching an octopus how to bake...

I gotta learn though... so here I go...

Time to shill one of my small "for me!" projects: a fansite for one of my fave characters, Hans von Hammer, aka Enemy Ace! Forever a WIP but please enjoy what I have thus far!

I'll be share some sections and other fun stuff from it in the coming weeks.

Please mind the warning page! You should be about 12-13+ due to the topics discussed.

Tiny websites have always fascinated me, along with internet web portals (which haven't been a thing for many years-- at least in the way we used to know them). I'm talking a simple HTML page with just a graphic or two, and a bunch of links. Something that might resemble the early days of Yahoo, etc.

The idea for this site I made has been buzzing around in my head for a while now. It is NOT responsive, there is NO JavaScript, and there's just a TINY bit of CSS. The whole site (one HTML page) is only about 9kb!

A simple site like this one might look primitive compared to some of the huge, complicated websites we see as standard on the internet today, but this site is guaranteed to work on any browser or device.

I used links for sites/documents that I frequent or use a lot, and mixed in my own personal projects for fun. It's a super simple page-- mostly for my own usage. But I really love the design of it!

I call it 'Mr Beamer's Old Timey Web Portal'

EDIT: I moved it to Neocities!
