Our third check-in point for Small Web September is at hand!
We're now on the home stretch - but there's still lots of time to play around with your small web project(s), so if you're just joining us, welcome! We hope you enjoy taking part and chatting with everyone in the comments.
The theme of this week's check-in is communities! There are lots of cool groups, forums, mailing lists, and social media movements for or adjacent to the small/indie web - I'm posting in one right now! These can be really excellent places to find like-minded hobbyists, share tips and resources, and take part in challenges and events (again, like this one :D).
So, in the comments, share how you're doing with your small web project(s) and also where you like to spend time talking about the small web, if anywhere! I'm not going to too-rigidly define what counts as a "community", so if you think it counts, mention it here.
As a bonus discussion prompt: what is something you would love to see/join a community for (this one doesn't have to be small web-related!) but you haven't yet found one? Have you ever thought of starting it yourself?
As a reminder, this is the third of four ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates of these posts over on the event intro. There’s no cut-off point for commenting on them, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on every one or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide and all discussion is welcome. For our previous check-in post, head on over to Small Web September Check-In 2: Halfway House/Troubleshooting!
There'll be a longer gap than usual between this and our next (and final!) check-in, which will be posted on Tuesday 30th September, the last day of the challenge - so look out for it then!

Date: 2025-09-22 01:30 pm (UTC)So now FFBE Season 1 is complete, FFXIV is caught up to date, and I've made good progress on FFXI. Whee! I do need to look into my CSS sometime - someone, I forget who, gave me a tip about using
reminstead ofemand I haven't implemented that yet.I'm away from home this week. I do have a computer with me, and I backed up my site to GitHub so I could, if I wanted, work on the site while away. But my computer's setup in an awkward area which makes it unpleasant to use for long periods of time, so I will probably not work on the site until I return home on Thursday.
As for communities: well, I'm in two Final Fantasy communities and have mentioned my Neocities project in both, but otherwise I don't have any small-web related communities.

Props for having the foresight to back up your site just in case you wanted to work on it while on the go; at least you have the option! But yeah, that doesn't sound conducive to getting stuck into site work. I'm sure it can wait until next week ^^
