it seems like website building is about to have a boom, let me share my favorite resource of all time!!

this is a website packed to the brim with website building goodies , including a website layout maker that is the easiest and most user friendly maker i’ve encountered! perfect for creating your own neocities (it’s free!!) , the code even has helpful tips in it for those new to html/css!

i also recommend w3schools.com for quick and easy to follow chunks of html/css tutorials! gifcities is a goldmine for old neocities era gifs, and blinkies cafe is perfect for making your own blinkies!

i can’t wait to see everyone’s websites in the coming weeks and months! remember, it’s fine to take it slow and let it look silly, that’s always been the point of websites like this :]

ps check out our neocities and feel free to drop yours in the replies :]

Friendly reminder that Wix.com is an Israeli-based company (& some website builders to look into instead)

I know the BDS movement is not targeting Wix.com specifically (see here for the companies they're currently boycotting) but since Wix originated in Israel as early as 2006, it would be best to drop them as soon as you can.

And while you're at it, you should leave DeviantArt too, since that company is owned by Wix. I deleted my DA account about a year ago not just because of their generative AI debacle but also because of their affiliation with their parent company. And just last month, DA has since shown their SUPPORT for Israel in the middle of Israel actively genociding the Palestinian people 😬

Anyway, I used to use Wix and I stopped using it around the same time that I left DA, but I never closed my Wix account until now. What WAS nice about Wix was how easy it was to build a site with nothing but a drag-and-drop system without any need to code.

So if you're using Wix for your portfolio, your school projects, or for anything else, then where can you go?

Here are some recommendations that you can look into for website builders that you can start for FREE and are NOT tied to a big, corporate entity (below the cut) 👇👇

Carrd.co

This is what I used to build my link hub and my portfolio, so I have the most experience with this platform.

It's highly customizable with a drag-and-drop arrangement system, but it's not as open-ended as Wix. Still though, it's easy to grasp & set up without requiring any coding knowledge. The most "coding" you may ever have to deal with is markdown formatting (carrd provides an on-screen cheatsheet whenever you're editing text!) and section breaks (which is used to define headers, footers, individual pages, sections of a page, etc.) which are EXTREMELY useful.

There's limits to using this site builder for free (max of 2 websites & a max of 100 elements per site), but even then you can get a lot of mileage out of carrd.

mmm.page

This is a VERY funny & charming website builder. The drag-and-drop system is just as open-ended as Wix, but it encourages you to get messy. Hell, you can make it just as messy as the early internet days, except the way you can arrange elements & images allows for more room for creativity.

Straw.page

This is an extremely simple website builder that you can start from scratch, except it's made to be accessible from your phone. As such, the controls are limited and intentionally simple, but I can see this being a decent website builder to start with if all you have is your phone. The other options above are also accessible from your phone, but this one is by far one of the the simplest website builders available.

Hotglue.me

This is also a very simple & rudimentary website builder that allows you to make a webpage from scratch, except it's not as easy to use on a mobile phone.

At a glance, its features are not as robust or easy to pick up like the previous options, but you can still create objects with a simple double click and drag them around, add text, and insert images or embeds.

Mind you, this launched in the 2010s and has likely stayed that way ever since, which means that it may not have support for mobile phone displays, so whether or not you wanna try your hand at building something on there is completely up to you!

Sadgrl's Layout Editor

sadgrl.online is where I gathered most of these no-code site builders! I highly recommend looking through the webmaster links for more website-building info.

This simple site builder is for use on Neocities, which is a website hosting service that you can start using for free. This is the closest thing to building a site that resembles the early internet days, but the sites you can make are also responsive to mobile devices! This can be a good place to start if this kind of thing is your jam and you have little to no coding experience.

Although I will say, even if it sounds daunting at first, learning how to code in HTML and CSS is one of the most liberating experiences that anyone can have, even if you don't come from a website scripting background. It's like cooking a meal for yourself. So if you want to take that route, then I encourage to you at least try it!

Most of these website builders I reviewed were largely done at a glance, so I'm certainly missing out on how deep they can go.

Oh, and of course as always, Free Palestine 🇵🇸

[swordscleric]

I can't stop thinking about the post from a few days ago about how Critical Role has been great at doing personal faith but didn't put the necessary work in to discuss the religious/god angle of c3 in-depth. Like the fact that Cardinal Respa was linked to both the Dawnfather and the Chained Oblivion is, on a personal level, very interesting (fallen/corrupted priest goes hard) but like does that mean that there's a Papacy somewhere in Exandria dedicated to the Dawnfather? If so, are there more cardinals who ordain the bishops of the Dawnfather? Are there Conclave-level intrigues going on in the Dawnfather's Sistine Chapel? Why is the Dawnfather so Christianity-coded in vibes alone if there's no actual outline of his religious organisations? With Downfall the Dawnchild/Dawnfather thing makes the allusions to Christ as Son of God co-existing with the Father textual - was there a Dawnfather Schism around whether the Dawnchild was a separate mortal? Was there a Reformation about how the Dawnfather's Pope kept selling indulgences? Is that why the priest of the Dawnfather Grog & Pike offer a drink to doesn't partake because of a cultural shift between Protestant-Temperance-League-coded and Catholic-coded Dawnfather congregations? Why do I have so many questions about the religious organisation of one of the most important Prime Deities in Exandria and to Critical Role's 3 campaigns? How on earth were the cast (and us as the viewers!) meant to care about the gods if all they had were "really tall kings" instead of interrogating how religious organisations provide both a place of healing and community to a wide range of people and also a place of horrific harm and abuse for a wide range of people?

Doujinshi Sales Update

I am aiming for sales to go live Sunday January 19th @ 19:00 GMT (2pm EST, 11am PST)

I DIDN'T FINISH IN TIME, SORRY. orz SALES WILL BE DELAYED.

(By a week, maybe, more details in the reblog.)

⊱ •❅──────⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅──────❅• ⊰

Important notes:

PURCHASES ARE AVAILABLE TO ADULTS 18+ ONLY as many of the books contain explicit content.

ALL BOOKS ARE IN JAPANESE.

All books are secondhand and may have minor imperfections. These will be noted where I've spotted them, but I cannot guarantee the condition 100%.

I AM BASED IN THE UK. I am happy to ship internationally, but shipping costs can be pretty gnarly nowadays.

Hi all! Sorry that this is a little later than anticipated, I have been super busy with Christmas, moving house, and a new job (I joined right at the second busiest event of the whole year), as well as then trying to compile pictures and full information for 500 books...

The plan is:

I have made my own online shopfront for it. It looks a little like this.

Etc., etc. It scrolls a long way.

It is not fancy, but you should be able to just add the books you want into a cart and go to checkout and!! It will calculate shipping for you, because I am adding the weight of all the books so the site can figure it out automatically. There will also be a shipping page with tables of weight brackets, shipping method, and cost for each, so you can preemptively get an idea of what to expect.

(Weighing 500 books individually in an arduous process, alas.)

In any case, it should be super straightforward, just add stuff to cart and check out.

I am still adding cover images for all the books, and as much information about each one as I can, which is why it is taking a while. Please bear with me a little longer, hopefully with the extra preparation time everything will go super smoothly when the site does go live!

Prices

The ""high-end"" popular circles books are mostly around US$6-8 (this is what you can see in the screenshot).

Other circles are mostly around US$4-6.

Some older books that are maybe a little outdated in style or what have you might be on there for just US$2.

There are also a couple that are free, just add them to your order and pay shipping!

Anything higher than these brackets is either because it was very rare and difficult for me to find at the time, or is a particularly large book (e.g. the Reunion Archives in the screenshot is a compilation book containing six previous works in one and a good inch thick).

DISCOUNTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR LARGER ORDERS.

There is 10% off orders over $30, 20% off orders over $60, and 30% off orders over $100. (That's the only way I could figure out how to do it with the particular site builder.)

Tag List

If you would like to be added to the tag list (or taken off, I am just tagging everyone who expressed an interest on the previous post) please let me know!
