Small Web September Kick-Off/Check-In 1: Goals!
Somehow it's September already and the kick-off point for Small Web September has arrived! \o/
As a reminder, this is the first of five ‘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 these, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on them all or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide, but all discussion is welcome.
This first post will be for introducing yourself and your project(s) and talking about what you’re planning to do during the month. Of course, there’s no obligation to stick to what you’ve set down and no-one will be checking up xD But it can be a nice thought exercise! You’re free to make the goal(s) as broad or as specific as you like – it’s totally up to you.
There’s no set format for this check-in, but here’s one you can use if you’d like (just copy-paste and replace the placeholders with your own answers in the comments):
Also, if anyone would like to answer it, here’s a discussion starter: What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it?

Project(s): So I have 3 separate neocities sites. I've learned a lot about html and css over the last year after basically starting from nothing. My main fan related site is muttthecowcat.neocities.org. I have a blog and my petz site on it.
What are you hoping to work on for SWS? So I'd like to revamp the css for muttthecowcat and for my fashion site (mutterbutter.neocities.org). When I first made my fashion site, I used a template that had only a main text section and went back to add side bars myself. I'd like to restructure everything with a wrapper so all the pages can have sidebars that function correctly. I also want to redo the css for muttthecowcat. When I first made it's css, I just named all my divs whatever I wanted to because I didn't think it mattered. But now I know some of them are important, especially for screen readers so I'd like to fix it and hopefully my other sites as well!
Finally, I have lace bordering on mutterbutter that uses a series of divs to make it function correctly. Now that I know more about the image border function, I'd like to make a png that can be used as a lace border on it's own.
What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it?I started making neocities sites about 2 years ago. I've never done well with traditional social media because I just can't make myself post every day or make lots of image posts. I do however love learning about coding. I started out with editing my tumblr html and css and have now learned enough to make a functioning neocities page. I hope to learn more about js this year too!

Very much same here. Although I really like Dreamwidth, I think my "circle" here is still small because I don't blog very consistently (it would also be good if I could find more time to leave comments and engage, but I struggle to do that frequently too). Pillowfort is more forgiving of my sporadic activity bursts but I'm still not as active on there as I aspire to be. So, I feel you. But making indie websites is cooler anyway 😉 (Jk, jk)
