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.
That's an awesome commitment! I would like to do something similar (though I also keep meaning to make time for writing in that way xD), or even just have a weekly slot, which would add up a lot over time. Best of luck with your site work!
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.
Yes, exactly - I was saying this in reply to another user too, that it's weird mentally comparing the mid-00s web that I 'grew up' on to what we have now and remembering how you could use HTML and CSS to customise profiles and pages and make them your own. It was just baked in. And then Facebook et al made the identikit web cool and sites collectively went "well people don't want to do things themselves so let's not bother, everything should look minimalist and the same" and now here we are. *world-weary sigh*
