The urge to make more websites is just.....
....like I don't get how I can be so annoyed with technology on so many levels, and then just sit in front of my Nova app and, in the face of literally seventeen other useful and good and even somewhat interesting things to do that do NOT involve trying to make a thing I only 27% understand, work perfectly across different devices and machines, think, "You know....I could make another subdomain..."
I don't even know what I'm DOING. My websites are hilariously ancient tech. People keep trying to be nice to me by going, "Here's a script I use for this task!" And I'm like, script, script, yeah I don't know how to use that. How do I round corners again?
Anyway the site I want to make now is an art one. Just for doodles and such. Actually the level of my HTML skills and my art skills are a beautiful, perfect match. So that's something.

Question about #PersonalWebsites and #Indieweb design, maybe should tag #webdev too....
I want to eventually make many small galleries on my static site. I just made this one as a start:
satellite.eilloh.net/ships
I'm trying to keep the code very simple, since I'm doing all this by hand. This page I made seems to work well for me, but I'm curious whether it's bad form to not use thumbnails? I'd rather not, if I don't have to, as that's more to do and more to clutter up my files. Is it okay to just use CSS to make the huge photos small? Does the answer to this question change depending on the number of photos I want to cram into one page?

A few weeks ago I talked with Dirk about blogging and while this conversation got him to write a post about the state of the world he told me that week notes aren’t for him as they are too personal.
I’ve been thinking about this conversation a lot since then. I read a lot of blogs, through my feed reader, bubbles.town, Kagi Small Web, indieblog.page and more. There are a lot of people who write extremely personal things! And there are a lot of people who manage to write interesting posts almost on a daily basis and there’s still nothing obvious about them as a person in those posts. It is very fascinating.
Personally I don’t think my week notes are that personal but in general, yes, they take the place of a diary. I’ve said it quite often: I write my blog mainly for future me, to look back on what happened. And I often have the urge to overshare – after all, where if not here? It’s not like anyone in real life is particularly interested.
And then there’s of course always the old context problem. Given my well-developed Witzelsucht I know that it isn’t always easy to tell which things I am serious about and what is just a joke – sometimes not even for myself.So I guess I’ll ponder this topic some more, while trying to find the right balance for me and my posts. It seems to be an ebb and flow anyway and in the end, being personal might just be the best part of having a personal website.

I finally hit publish on a post I've been kicking around.
The Human/Personal/Indie Web
I didn't really want to wind up with a {collection of links + mine & others' general vibes about the human/personal/indie web} or to try to be a resource.
Alas, I landed at no greater message than: here’s a collection of meandering vibes and links and an enthusiastic "here here" from my small corner.

My article is out in the latest issue of Good Internet Magazine! It’s about using the web browser as a web design tool and how anyone can do it, no matter their level of knowledge.

I had the privilege of penning an article for the latest issue of Good Internet Magazine!
It is all about the process of making and experiencing art and how friction and inefficiency needn’t be dirty procurances to avoid and evade.

If you enjoy this article, you might consider picking up the physical print copy of the magazine, which you can buy on the site. A proper palpable paper printing of passionate prose for your pleasant perusal.

In more great customer service news, a few months ago I switched from Neocities to Nekoweb for hosting my #blog, and Nekoweb just announced a bunch of great additions to the service, including WebDav, password protected pages, and dynamic blogs with SSI.
It's a great spot for #IndieWeb blogs!

Here's the update news:

CW: neocities
You know what?
One of the reason why I want my own website is not only so I can have a place to show off my art or ocs, but its also to have a space one day for my drawings, and eventually fanart of ships I like in a place where nobody can talk shit about any of it existing.
I am the runner of my own website where nobody can talk shit about my ocs or my weird little ships or raise hell about the art of my fursona fucking my favorite canon character.
That is why I am proud of it existing, and why I love working on it.

You might've heard of its spiritual successor, https://neocities.org? Recently I put together a beginner-friendly tutorial showing you how to create your own gallery page and host it on Neocities for free.

I'll be turning this into a series, so stay tuned for more!

CW: neocities, I finally got the contact email
Ok I have finally got the news from neocities
Whats false:
Neocities isn't banning NSFW art, its there to stay on neocities, and neocities is committed to not being like the other websites in getting rid of it or imposing the same censorship rules other sites are doing.
Irl porn like whats on pornhub was never allowed on the site, which is fair bc tons of places don't host that stuff either.
Whats true:
They are making new terms for NSFW art, but what those terms will be haven't been announced yet, but one of these news rules are sites having it mandatory that sites have somewhere where you consent to seeing NSFW content. This means if your site was already doing this ( like mine ), then you're already ahead of the game basically, and are safe regarding that new rule.
In conclusion:
They aren't banning NSFW art/writing like some people have been thinking, but they are making new rules, what those will be is unknown, but from what they're saying is they're not going to be doing what other websites are doing according the staff.
I personally am going going to be on haitus still ( mostly due to this + the CC event which will put it on haitus anyway )

"..that old web, the small web, the indie web, whatever you want to call it, it still exists, it will still exist! People haven't stopped making websites, people haven't stopped blogging earnestly (i.e. not just for ad views), they (we) are still out there! Posting away on our little web sites, not really caring that we don't get a lot of traffic.."
