Our second Small Web September check-in point is here!

How is everyone getting on so far with their SWS-ing (hat tip to [personal profile] lovesgaze 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:
  • ‘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!

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.

Thank you. It feels like a better fit, doesn't it? Like I said ↑, I can't take credit for the term but I prefer it to the idea of a "canon," personal or otherwise.

I'll be continuing to add to that section in particular, those were just the two I got up first! The "trans-ludic identities" one is something I think about a lot and helped me conceptualize my own self-understanding as a "LiveJournal refugee" or "LiveJournal diaspora."
