Small Web September Check-In 2: Recs and Resources
Our second Small Web September check-in point is here!
How is everyone getting on so far with their SWS-ing (hat tip tolovesgaze for making SWS into a verb 😂). Is the code (or blogging, modding, documentation, etc.) behaving as it should? Have you discovered any cool new tricks or come across any great sites you’d like to share?
The theme of this check-in is recs and resources! There are lots of great guides, tutorials and examples out there to help with our small webbing. So, I thought we could share some of our favourites in the comments - along with what you’ve been up to since our last check-in, if you feel like sharing it!
Here’s some examples of things you could share:
A bonus discussion-starter (optional, so no pressure to answer this!): What has been the most useful small web resource you’ve found so far? Or, is there a resource that you really wish existed, but doesn’t?
As a reminder, this is the second of five ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates for these posts in the event intro post. There’s no cut-off point for leaving comments on these, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on every one or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide, but all discussion is welcome.

Here’s some examples of things you could share:
- ‘How to code X feature/design element’ tutorials
- Cool templates or layouts
- Gif, blinkie, button or banner-maker tools or websites
- Directories, webrings or blogrolls for anything small web-related
- Communities (like this one! – but they can be anywhere, not just on Dreamwidth) for small web support, resources or discussion
- Inspiring examples of sites, blogs, or other small web projects that you’ve come across
- Any round-ups of links like these or anything else you’ve found helpful!

Interestingly, I've been getting things done that weren't even on my goals list. The event generally has me thinking about things I could put on the site, so I've added a site directory and a Garden Square page modelled after the in-universe online messageboard, on which I talk about my thoughts on popular fan theories. I'm particularly excited about the Garden Square addition, because, come to think of it, I could use the same format to talk about a lot of different topics.
I've also added a page for my thoughts on Final Fantasy VII, so I haven't neglected my 'create sections for other games in the series' goal completely!
On the subject of resources: W3Schools has an HTML previewer that I found really useful when setting up the Garden Square page, as the text block element made it slightly more fiddly than the rest of the site.

The Garden Square page is really fun, love it!
