smallweb | Small Web September: Kick-Off & Goals!

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:

Name: (Username, nickname, whatever you like to go by) Project(s): (Share a link to your project(s) if you’d like to, and/or describe what you’re making or would like to make!) What are you hoping to work on for SWS? (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!

What are you hoping to work on for SWS? The primary goal is to launch my FF14 fic archive, which will be postmortems and extended author's notes for my fics rather than hosting them directly on the site. I have it half done; I just need to finish writing and put it in the layout I've made.

The other thing I'd really like to do is a long-overdue revamp of my fanlisting collective. I know exactly what I want to do with it, but I haven't been able to find the time to work on it. Hopefully as my obligations clear up in the next week I'll be able to dedicate time to it.
