smallwebSomehow 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?

Date: 2024-09-03 01:43 am (UTC)Project(s): My personal neocities site. Not really in a presentable enough state for me to share the link here tho ^^'
What are you hoping to work on for SWS? Main goals are to archive at least all of my fics for Boueibu Happy Kiss there and make the front page a little less better (right now it is very bare bones stuff + a section of "last updates").
For optional goals: I wanna transfer my fanwork permissions to that site (as well as make a portuguese version of said statement), add a header menu, and possibly also start adding a bit more of "foundation blocks" to other stuff I wanna add later (like, making some mostly blank pages for me to have all/most of the linking between pages I might need already set up, and to have a more clear sense of how much I'll need to add in the future).

I got into small web I think sometime last year? I saw I handful of people I knew who cared about the idea of having fanworks up in multiple places for archival purposes also had their own personal sites for that stuff. I enjoyed the idea of basically having my little corner of the internet that I have more control of! Plus, I ended up finding out that I think coding stuff is actually pretty cool, haha.

Date: 2024-09-08 01:14 am (UTC)Same here! Until I came to make my archive, I hadn't worked on anything like it since about 2016, but I remember how engrossing and satisfying it was to tinker with code and make it work. While I originally had planned to just set up my archive on WordPress to save myself some of the heavy lifting, I realised that I did want to code it myself and have the satisfaction of making it all customisable and adding dumb 90s web touches like pixel art and blinkies. Even if it looks less polished as a result xD
