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!

i'm several days late, but this sounds fun and i've been on a websiting kick lately!

Name: stel

Project(s): my personal site and my fanfic archive

What are you hoping to work on for SWS?

for my personal site: i've been doing a "mini-recode", mostly focusing on cleaning up css* and templating. as well as that, i'd like to:

• clean up some content pages that i think need work
• dust off some content pages that i have not touched in a long time
• rework/merge/split pages that need it (eg. move my bookmarks out of "links")
• make my file structure make more sense
• reorganize my art galleries! i'd like to organize them by topic rather than year, and maybe i'll have custom stylesheets for them too?

* my padding/margin situation was kind of a mess, and i've decided to make some big changes to it that'll be a lot less painful for me

for my fic archive: i haven't been keeping it updated since the "base code" i'm using doesn't have series, so i'd like to implement that. i've also been contemplating remaking it from scratch to be much simpler, but i do really like what i have right now, so i probably won't do that.

May your cleanup go smoothly! (especially the padding/margins, and them doing appropriate things on both desktop and mobile not that I know this feeling or anything)

There's no such thing as "late" in this challenge, you're perfectly on time! :D Welcome, and good luck with your code clean-up! I love the look of your personal site - I'm a sucker for a good moon (and stars) theme ^^
