smallwebOur 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!

Date: 2024-09-08 02:06 pm (UTC)juggling between making sure longer journal entries for neocities are covered under (details)(summary) (in brackets, not parentheses) and trying to find a good template for a gallery page. The fanfiction portion has been me looking through old flash drives and email chains and mostly just finding drafts and outlines so I’ve got a lot I need to work on with that department. Plus there’s the factor of finding stuff from high school and going “wow, I’m not even in that fandom anymore, that’s a throwback.”
In terms of actual coding I tend to stick to templates because a lot of my actual HTML coding skills are more or less just me googling to get what I want and using w3schools when it goes wrong. I’m attempting to ensure most of the templates I use are responsive mostly because I code with whatever I have available which is between my phone which I used for the first site or computer. These ones I had bookmarked.
Web resource for a lot of templates and tutorials.
Another site with templates.
-Repth is another good one in terms of responsive layouts.
-https://nenrikido.neocities.org/code/
-Site with nice templates and a tutorial on pushing the website through the neocities CLI, which I’m hoping to do before I link my site because right now on neocities it’s kind of a mess.
-https://goblin-heart.net/sadgrl/projects/layout-builder/
This site is the one I initially built my site on pre revamp when I was into another fandom, but the site itself offers more than just the layout builder.
If I find more I’ll add to this comment.
