makin websites
Jul. 1st, 2023 09:05 pmReally good post on making your own archive on Neocities.
ETA: post with resources on creating fansites!
I also wanted to add that there's an ecosystem of "tildeverse" websites out there that give you space on a shared computer (e.g., you get a website at domain.com/~username, hence the tilde) that require a little more command-line know-how than Neocities, but also give you some more tools, like blog generators and the ability to upload stuff via git and FTP. Some well-known ones are tilde.club and tilde.town.
There's also a lot of lightweight services like smol.pub or bearblog's very tiny blogging engines that have the flexibility to be a small archive. Self-hosted Wordpress blogs are also super flexible as far as what kind of content they can support, and there are plugins that allow for even more flexibility in implementing social features and user-generated content.
If you want some starter templates for a website, Zonelets has some charmingly web 1.0 layouts for you to start with. (Also there's this tool that'll take some markdown files and template it with zonelets for you)
(Also, if you want that microblog fix: consider status.cafe or imood. imood will even give you a little image you can put somewhere as a status widget.)
