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: 2024-09-10 07:05 am (UTC)Instead of working on the Fujofans web listing like I said I would, I started making a /uses page instead. It's in progress - currently basic hardware and art software, but I hope to add other programs and IRL art supplies I use!
Inspirations: - Cory Dransfeldt use page - 7p drawing tablet documentation - David Revoy's tablets history
I love to see what people use and recommend! Especially for computer programs, IDK what people use for like.. lightweight video editing, or font management y'know? Especially cuz so many apps are phone-only now haha.
I want to add the details/summary function to my list of uses, so that people can quickly read through the page, and choose to click for my wordy opinion on what I use. Cuz what I use isn't necessarily the best, but I have MY REASONS lol. Also need to add CSP brushes, will be useful for me if I ever have to redownload everything I know and love. Also useful for others if they want to use the same brushes as me :P
Next small project before I get the gumption to fix Fujofans, is to edit my fic pages to have MUCH simpler styling. Probably copy the ao3 layout, and add a neutral background color that obeys light/dark preferences rather than my bulky color scheme picker. Make the writing page much slimmer too, I kinda would prefer it to be a small list rather than large over-styled cards.
