What I absolutely adore about the indie/ personal/ small web: Everybody's approach is very different. There are super modern looking websites and there are the ones who seem to come straight out of the 1990's/ early 2000's. There are ones that are specially made to work on the oldest computers. There are ones with and ones without Java Script. Ones made by pro web devs and ones made my people who are just starting to learn the basics. There are people who've been there from the beginning and those who are very new. And everything in between. People of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.
In visiting personal websites you are seeing and experiencing the diversity of the world. And it's glorious!

I'm a bit obsessed with working on my website currently. And inspired by all the fantastic personal websites I'm finding. So here's another update to my website:
I added three pages: a sitemap, a page where I want to collect all the single pages I want to make, and one such single page.
I also put the change log on my homepage into a scrollable box. I'm not super happy with how it looks, but I do like a scrollable box thing.
I am feeling a bigger re-design coming... I have ideas, but don't know when I'll actually sit down to try it out. I have some ideas of single pages first.

So, I have been trying out this #blogging thing for about month (short month, I know... but I take the wins where I can find them).

Just wondering if #indieweb #smallweb #personalweb #lazyweb #bloggers had any #tips #tricks or #feedback

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!

everyone should blog! but what if you don't feel like you have something to say?

@flamed has some ideas on what to #blog in case you're struggling for ideas, pulling inspiration from the loveliest of places, local bookstores. <3

our november newsletter is out for the #32bitcafe! our monthly newsletter talks about what community members are #blogging about this month, community news, a member's personal website of the month, and events happening in the cafe and around the #indieweb.

if you haven't subscribed or heard of us, i hope you'll give it a read and include us in your email reading! <3 it's a great way to keep up with what developers, artists, and hobbyists are doing with their personal websites to grow the #SmallWeb and get out from under the thumb of #bigtech.

How are people getting into the Small Web and related movements these days (aside from fediverse)?

I missed the whole Yesterweb thing and just finished reading their website.

Is Neocities still a common platform for progressive netizens? Should I just self host? Are we going back to web rings? What about Gemini browsers?

Please help, lol.

What are things looking like for 2024/2025?

Why invest into a personal site rather than just have a social media presence?

@kevquirk shared his thoughts on the matter which inspired me to add my own on top.

Hey! I’m reviving my long-dormant #podcast, “The Shellsharks Podcast”. Exciting right?! In addition to the usual topics, i.e. "Infosec, Technology & Life", I'd like to spotlight awesome people from the #infosec community here on the #fediverse and discuss #indieweb and #personalweb topics. If that sounds cool or interesting, check out show page on my site where you can learn more.
