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.

SWSing progress report!

I decided to try out a new layout for my shrine pages and when I realised how awesome it looked, I just ended up getting eaten by filling in so much information!! So my shrine for Sartauvoir quo Soranus is now well underway! I need to transfer my manifesto over from dw, and then populate the second row of links, but I'm SO obsessed with how it's turned out so far!!

I also added a chatbox to the landing page, and added the navbar to all other pages, as well as alphabetising it and adding a separate page for code credits and things.

Resource-wise, I've been enjoying using dw rper codes for various things! A few faves are 10billionghosts and efryndiel.

Looking good! I like how indepth the layout for your shrine can get :D And ooh I didn't even think about using DW codes for regular websites :O The rp codes are cool especially if they fit the game for your fanshrine!

Thank you!! Yes, I love that part too - the base template had less tabs, but it was very easy to add new ones and it made me Learn A Thing at the same time!
