smallwebAs of today, we're officially in October, and that means that sadly, Small Web September is at an end!
(Sorry for the slightly later-than-promised check-in; yesterday was super busy 😅)
It's the last check-in, but that doesn't mean the small web fun has to come to an end - please do continue to share your progress on projects, questions, and cool resources that you've found by making posts to the comm (or in our chatter posts!)
For now, though, here are some questions and discussion prompts for the final check-in. Our theme this week is Resources!
As a reminder, this is the fourth of four ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event. If you want to view all the past check-ins for Small Web September, you can use the Small Web September tag - there's no cut-off point for commenting, so feel free to continue adding replies and discussing things related to each check-in! For our previous check-in post, head to Small Web September Check-In 3: Communities!
Sometime in the next week, I'll also be putting up a feedback/retrospective post to get thoughts on how the challenge was run, what you liked, and anything you'd like to see more of.
Kudos and thank you to everyone who has taken part in SWS, worked on projects, left comments, and shown enthusiasm - the event wouldn't exist without you! I hope you had fun this month 😄

- What did you work on during Small Web September? Was it the same thing that you set out to work on at the start of the month?
- Did you learn anything new or make any unexpected discoveries as you worked on your project(s)?
- Have any resources or guides been particularly helpful for your small webbing - or are there any that you wish existed/want to make?
- What are your plans for your project(s), or any other small web endeavours, beyond September?

Date: 2025-10-01 11:24 pm (UTC)Yes, aside from one (maybe animated) illustration that would be super detailed for December/Winter and I did not finish all the art pieces for my website [image of sample of gallery]. I did upload the base website to nekowebs with the gallery removed so the process was broken up into smaller steps.
I finished my main page update with a random image with three trick or treaters (so far), my Halloween blog design update and my Christmas blog update. I also finished my basic winter and Christmas Kaixa (from Kamen Rider 555) and it's not my personal website if Kaixa is not there for absolutely no reason.
Did you learn anything new or make any unexpected discoveries as you worked on your project(s)?
I was trying to do art for a page for my website, but I found out that everyone was using a material they bought in Blender asset store! 🤣🤣🤣 (I will not disclose what it was, it is what it is and it's not one's fault.) So I decided to go with a low-poly 3D look, it would be faster and just make the models IRL and photograph them. Why go through all that effort? That's what the small web is about.
Have any resources or guides been particularly helpful for your small webbing - or are there any that you wish existed/want to make?
I suggest Ribo.zone's free page and checking your favourite neocities pages to see where they get their resources.
I would like more "web code snippets" to exist, because I find adding details to your website is SOOO much easier that way. I also have to upload my resources page when I'm done.
What are your plans for your project(s), or any other small web endeavours, beyond September?
Finishing my Yaoi Jam game for October 10th and the rest of my pages and art pieces for my portfolio.
For my personal site a general winter design because I'm Canadian, a splash page for Christmas, Winter and December in general, a winter Poterina (blog mascot), Animal Crossing fanpage, Kaixa fanpage and a old website pages/art gallery (very doable and partially done). Oh, and my resources and notes pages.
Also, thank you to the hosts for having the event which gave me the push to finish and update my websites.
