#html css

[baileylockheart]

I've lightly suggested some of my moots and friends to make websites but internally I am BEGGING 😭😭 very few of them want to and it makes me sad bc I know it's a lot of work at the beginning but it's SO worth it 😞💔

tbf a lot of them have their carrd/strawpage/renty stuff, and I love looking at those too!! a page to list out your interests and show off your aesthetic? that's a good thing no matter how you do it, as far as I care, but COME ON 😭

SO MANY PEOPLE don't want to make websites, but complain about wanting more color options on their social media sites? more customization than a pfp and a header?? less censorship??? a safe place to talk about your interests without getting bullied???? LIKE THERE IS ACTUALLY SUCH A SIMPLE ANSWER TO THAT

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

getting started: neocities/html guide

sound interesting? here are some guides to help you get started, especially if you aren't familiar with html/css sadgrl.online webmastery | a fantastic resource for getting started with html & web revival. also has a layout builder that you can use to start with in case starting from scratch is too intimidating web design in 4 minutes | good for learning coding basics w3schools | html tutorials templaterr | demo & html for basic web elements eggramen test pages | css page templates to get started with sadgrl background tiles | bg tiles rivendell background tiles | more free bg tiles

in conclusion

i want everyone to make a neocities site because it's fun af and i love seeing everyone's weird personal sites that they made outside of the control of capitalism :) say hi to me on neocities

coding got me saying shit like “target the child” “assign its class” “override its inheritance” like the third wife of a dying oil baron discovering his of-age son born out of wedlock

[bogleech]

Going to put all this in its own post too by popular request: here's how you make your own website with no understanding of HTML code at all, no software, no backend, absolutely nothing but a text file and image files! First get website server space of your own, like at NEOCITIES. The free version has enough room to host a whole fan page, your art, a simple comic series, whatever! The link I've provided goes to a silly comic that will tell you how to save the page as an html file and make it into a page for your own site. The bare minimum of all you need to do with it is JUST THIS:

Change the titles, text, and image url's to whatever you want them to be, upload your image files and the html file together to your free website (or the same subfolder in that website), and now you have a webpage with those pictures on it. That's it!!!!! .....But if you want to change some more super basic things about it, here's additional tips from the same terrible little guy:

That last code by itself is: <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=001.html"> Change "001.html" to wherever you want that link to take people. THIS IS THE REASON WHY when you go to bogleech.com/pokemon/ you are taken instantly to the newest Pokemon review, because the /pokemon/ directory of my website has an "index.html" page with this single line of code. Every pokemon review has its own permanent link, but I change that single line in the index file so it points to the newest page whenever I need it to! While I catered these instructions to updating a webcomic, you can use the same template to make blog type posts, articles or just image galleries. Anything you want! You can delete the navigational links entirely, you can make your site's index.html into a simple list of text links OR fun little image links to your different content, whatever! Your website can be nothing but a big ugly deep fried JPEG of goku with a recipe for potato salad on it, no other content ever, who cares! We did that kind of nonsense all the time in the 1990's and thought it was the pinnacle of comedy!! Maybe it still can be?!?! Or maybe you just want a place to put some artwork and thoughts of yours that doesn't come with the same baggage as big social media? Make a webpage this way and it will look the same in any browser, any operating system for years and years to come, because it's the same kind of basic raw code most of the internet depends upon!

I updated my site again! Let me know what you think ★~(◡﹏◕✿)

I might not be a programming language but at least I'm hot as fuck. You ever seen web pages without me? Fucking black and white times new roman? Talk about drab. javascript always gets all the hype but I'm definitely the pretty one in the family.

* = prominent flashing lights/colors

i suggest not linking back (aka hotlinking) to the resources on the website. instead upload it yourself onto either neocities or an image hosting site and include credit. this way, if the person hosting the image deletes their page or loses the image somehow, your website will still be fine. (i didn't do this and had to find everything all over again... )

i have found that the best websites to use as companions to neocities are w3schools, pinterest, tumblr, and any image hosting site. w3schools for coding tutorials. pinterest for inspiration or for graphics. tumblr for any type of decor and advice. to edit my code and have a live preview, i use codepen.io.

since you read through all this, maybe take a look at my neocities site and follow me! <3

hello kitty ao3 skin

get the skin and learn how to install it HERE :)

[phvnthom]

For everyone who wants this beautiful AO3 site skin by tealtiam but just slightly altered, here is the code in the form of a Google doc.

I didn't know what else to use as an example so I just used my own fic 😅

✨ Original:

🌙 My slight alterations: the font for all the buttons at the top are now exactly the same. The stats icons have been changed into minimalist designs from @ao3skin's skin.

The body text has been scaled down to fit smaller screens by instead following the font size you already have set up on your own device (for the ".userstuff p { font-size" on the second line, 100% on the body text didn't work for me in getting it back to the default font size of my device so I changed it to 10pt. However, this might be too small for you so I suggest playing around with the font size until you're happy with it or just reverting it back to 100%).

And lastly, the font for the title/chapter titles of fics have been reverted back to the original formatting instead of being in all caps lock— everything else in the site skin has remained unaltered. The different colored tags for archive warnings, relationships, characters, and tags will still be there when searching for fics, though I personally love it, you might not, so take that into account!!!! 🥰
