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

[chick-it-out]

hope i am not bombarding u with posts today,,, got a words question!

what word processor or documents program do you use when writing stuff up for AO3? have you found anything that makes the copy-paste formatting transfer nicely?

like basically my options rn are to load my rich text from docs into AO3 and preserve the italicized text, while turning the line breaks and spacing super wonky — or to paste plain text in, keeping the spacing the way i expect, and losing all the italicization in AO3's text window. either way, it means spendin time going through the whole draft for manual edits when it's time to post :')

Title: Possible Guide To Basic Code On AO3

Summary:

This is a list of helpful tips and tricks I have come across in my time using AO3. I by no means know how to code, this was all found through internet searches and trial and error. Basically a whole lot of 'fuck around and find out'. It includes things like the basics of creating a site skin (that I muddled my way through) like adding personalised colours/font/text size, how to block tags permanently (so you don't have to filter it out of every search manually), and how to add cool things like hyperlinks/drop down menus/coloured text/ bold & italics text anywhere (I know it shows you this one but it took me way too long to find this feature).

This is something I'm making up as I learn myself, so if it doesn't work please forgive me. 🙏

making a neocities site is the worst most insufferable and difficult hobby ever but its so rewarding to see it evolve before my eyes so i keep doing it even if it takes me 30 minutes to make a div center aligned

From Bureaucrat to Villainess

This show has been giving us the warm fuzzies since ep 1. I couldn't figure out what sort of gifs I wanted to cut, so for some reason I decided on a low-effort knock-off of an old dota meme.

[b0ylik3r]

i think we should bring back early passion/personal websites, i just went through a bunch of old invader zim websites (one of them dated back to 2002 while the show was airing) and i need that culture to return so bad. dont be surprised if a random invader zim fan website pops up eventually im already making a baby name list i mean domain name list
