#writers, #blog aficionados, #web enjoyers, #website browsers: lend me your ears! i need help with a big push to get the word out about #writing for GOOD INTERNET magazine's autumn issue! a digital AND physical magazine that ships all over the world, run & contributed to by volunteers! ()

in case you're unaware, GOOD INTERNET covers a lot of different aspects of the #SmallWeb: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. the aim is to be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned #indieweb travelers!

you don't have to be a professional #webdev or a #coding smartypants to write about all the good things happening on "this side" of the web. the idea here is to spread the word about and share thoughts, independent web projects, services, methods, sites, meet-ups, and celebrate the non-corporate web together while making it easier for us to partake and unplug from #bigtech.

looking for 1,000- to 4,000-word articles aimed at website owners and hobbyists, digital (and traditional) #artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, #socialmedia expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned #web.

the deadline is AUGUST 22, 2025

YouTube is now recommending me a bunch of videos of people making their own cute little HTML websites, usually on Neocities or what they are calling The Indie Web and its giving me hope.

I knew this was a thing, and I knew people are still making websites like this, but it's really fun to see people encouraging people to do the same or making tutorials on YouTube.

I’m Leaving the Small Web and Forging a New Path.

I’ve been reflecting on the direction I want to take my work online. While I’ve appreciated aspects of the Small Web and similar movements - especially their love for personal websites - I’ve found that I no longer feel at home within those spaces.

Neocities has been such a wonderful web 1.0 renaissance:
https://neocities.org/

I really love it. It's cheap, it's fun, it's exactly what you need if you have a single page website. It's been wonderful to see all the fun little web rings people are setting up too. It's nice to return to the web I grew up with

Ever wondered what over 20 years of doing art looks like? The not-so-secret
Archive contains my full body of work starting from age 12, with a short summary for each year. Can you use your artistic skill and regain it years later? Well... yes. Come see:

Gotta say: my new #11ty #blog is really coming along. Quite happy with how it’s looking and DAMN is it fast to work with.

Anyway I think by this rate it’ll be ready next week! A step away from the algorithm internet thank god. I’m gonna be hosting Thoughts of Thinkymeat on #Neocities methinks.

I’ll keep yall posted

god I so need to start that #neocities site blog thing I wanted to make soon. Its driving me mad, I need a place where I can write long form about stuff.

Does anyone on fedi know an easy way to have an article with two separate translations on a webpage?

i.e. i have an article in one language, and i can click a button to change the text to another (prewritten) translation.
