What are you hoping to work on for SWS? I'm committing to working on my site every morning before work on workdays. I hope to use that time to develop a real homepage and transfer material from my Wordpress blogs to my Neocities site, but more than anything, I want to give my site time and attention every morning.

What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it? I have always had ties to the small web through my Geocities site, Livejournal, Deadjournal, Dreamwidth, and now Neocities. I'm drawn to the creative control you have over your work in these spaces. Right now, HTML interests me most, because I think it's important to be able to "own" every aspect of your webpage and be able to move it wherever you want, whenever you want. Back in the "old days," that kind of creative control was completely taken for granted. Even MySpace gave users a lot of creative freedom over their pages.
