Small Web September: Kick-Off & Goals!

[enchantedsleeper]

Our kick-off for Small Web September is already upon us, and that means it’s time to set some goals! What would you like to work on during the month?

These can be as vague or as granular as you like; a lot can change as you’re working on a project, so it’s completely fine to change them up as needed (or do away with them entirely xD), but it can still be nice to set some ~aspirations!

There’s no set format for this post (anything goes!), but for anyone who’d like to use it, here’s a little pre-formatted set of prompts you can fill in – just overwrite the placeholders with your own info:

<strong>Name:</strong> (Username, nickname, whatever you like to go by)
<strong>Project(s):</strong> (Share a link to your project(s) if you’d like to, and/or describe what you’re making or would like to make!)
<strong>What are you hoping to work on for SWS?</strong> (This can be as general as “add to my site”, or as specific as “archive X fanworks” or “implement a responsive layout”. You could even include ‘bonus’ or extra goals you’d like to get to if you have time!)

I normally include a ‘discussion starter’ or two at the end of each post as well for anyone who’d like to answer it, so here are a couple of questions you can answer if you fancy: What inspired you to make (or start making) your small web project(s), and what is it that appeals to you about the small web?

I look forward to learning about everyone’s goals and projects! 💜 Our next check-in point for the challenge will be Sunday, 7th September (you can check the full schedule and list of themes here!), but if you want to share something to the comm before then, feel free to make a post!

Reminder that we have these amazing banners for the challenge made by javert that you can save to use on your site, your blog or anywhere you'd like to show you're taking part!

Name: Tarlan

Project(s): David Hewlett Archive

What are you hoping to work on for SWS?

1. Reduce the overall number of files: I have plenty of space BUT I am running out of inodes (directory/file markers) and as I simply cannot afford to buy more webspace just to get more inodes I have decided to reduce the file count by putting 8 screencaps per file. I made a valiant start on David Hewlett Archive and now have only (huh! ONLY!!!!) the three big TV shows to go. Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis and Traders

The smallest of these is Stargate SG1 (6 episodes) so I want to see if I can do this one for SWS and reduce the file count from 1336 screencaps to around 170 files saving approx 1150 inodes :)

2. Add items to empty albums: With more inodes freed up I will have space to add more content to the empty albums on the gallery :)

Sounds like nice, light work, then! 😂 Best of luck with the screencap reduction - that will be no mean feat, but it sounds regrettably necessary xD And enjoy adding the new items in once you have more space!
