#personal website

[madlyfluffy]

Yearly reminder to everyone trying to find alternatives to tumblr/social media in general: go make a Neocities account and teach yourself basic HTML and post your art/writing/shitposts there.

It does take extra time to set up (but there are templates out there!) but it is so so worth it to have a site that is 100% YOURS!

You don’t even have to be that good at coding. I’m not. My site is not very accessible via mobile devices but that is fine with me (keeps me off my phone) but there are plenty of ways to make your site mobile friendly. There are plenty of bare bones/accessible sites I adore purely for the media on it.

Imagine having your site on your phone and showing someone- hey! I coded this from scratch. And I didn’t even have to pay a company like squarespace. All your images, links, writings, in one place. I have my fandom edits, memes, fanart, and custom graphics there.

Neocities has a very bare bones follower and comment system, but you can disable this if you want your site to truly abstain from any social media-isms. I use it because its a great way to meet other webmasters and get help with coding problems. Neocities isn't an exact replacement for Tumblr (no reblogging here) but html coding is an invaluable skill to know, as is keeping a personal website in this day in age.

The awesome thing about having your own website is if, god forbid, Neocities goes down, you can move your site to any other number of hosting platforms (like Teacake.org). Your site is truly YOURS, and no one else (shitty tech CEO cough cough) can take it away from you.

If you need help getting started, I recommend checking out sadgrl.online. (More links to resources in the comments section of this post).

I know neocities has been talked about before, especially within my follower circle, but I thought I'd bring it up again for anyone unaware of this awesome platform.

Something seriously overpowered is brewing... >:3

You know MyArtGallery? A thing i made for neocities so that artists could easily run their online galleries? Well guess what..

i'm slowly but steadily developing an application that runs on your own computer and lets you install the latest MyAG version automatically, and post to it without ever manually uploading images through the neocities file browser or touching XML. It's gonna be so cool - almost like deviantart, but you own it almost completely and can change anything if you want!

I also want to add couple more "channel types" to this system - like an update log and a text blog, that could also be ran from this panel... but first, to make MyAG as comfortable as possible.

Follow if you want more updates on this system.

P.S. oops, forgot to remove the funny test tabs for the screenshot. Whatever, i stand by my tf2 soldier jokes. It's ok, i keep finding painises around my code all the time anyway - pretty sure there's a couple in MyAG right now

So I've been hearing some horror stories about Google traffic for personally-maintained websites falling off a cliff.

But it can't be that bad, can it?

Let's mosey on over to the Leif & Thorn statistics page, and see how the first half of 2024 went...

January: 15K pageviews, 18K hits

February: 13K pageviews, 16K hits

March: 14K pageviews, 17K hits

April: 13K pageviews, 15K hits

May: 12K pageviews, 15K hits

June: 2.5K pageviews, 5K hits

...welp.

(July is only half over, but in case you're curious, it's up to less than half of the totals June hit.)

Hey!

Do you have a website? A personal one or perhaps something more serious?

Whatever the case, if you don't want AI companies training on your website's contents, add the following to your robots.txt file:

User-agent: anthropic-ai Disallow: / User-agent: Claude-Web Disallow: / User-agent: CCbot Disallow: / User-agent: FacebookBot Disallow: / User-agent: Google-Extended Disallow: / User-agent: GPTBot Disallow: / User-agent: PiplBot Disallow: / User-agent: ByteSpider Disallow: / User-agent: PerplexityBot Disallow: / User-agent: cohere-ai Disallow: / User-agent: ChatGPT-User Disallow: / User-agent: Omgilibot Disallow: / User-agent: Omgili Disallow: /

There are of course more and even if you added them they may not cooperate, but this should get the biggest AI companies to leave your site alone.

I made a website!

https://www.chocodile.net

https://www.chocodile.net

At present, it's basically just a big fancy "about" section with a small portfolio, but I have vague plans to maybe do an RSS art feed and maybe make some goofy retro Web 2.0 JavaScript toys (dressup dolls, personality quizzes, etc) like I built for the websites I made when I was 13. Eventually.

I got a wee little webring banner, too. You can find the code for it on my site... lemme know if you wanna trade webring links.

NEW UPDATE TO MY WEBSITE

oooooh you wanna go check it out so bad oooooooooh

Here you can also adopt the little fairies! Cute!!! I honestly made the page just for them. And I wanna make more adopts!!!

(If you don't know what adopts are, they're just images you save and put on your website, usually on sections called Toyboxes. There's one on my About page you can take a peek at!)

[my-thighs-turn-mudstone-to-slate]

recently going through some old wiby sites (The Wiby search engine is building a web of pages as it was in the earlier days of the internet) and found among other cool things a site that had 707 of these type of images on it and i thought id share the fun!

While there are still pages I want to add, I think my site is at a point where I’m happy to share it!!! I do recommend browser cause the font and some pages get messed up on mobile, but I’m proud of it so far!!! 💗

˗ˏˋ smallsketch.neocities.org ˎˊ˗

Also not to be too obsessed with neocities but you should check out my stamp book specifically cause I made a bunch of custom fairycore and bug stamps I couldn’t find anywhere else ✨

[what-if-doctor-who-was-yuri-yaoi]

Okay so for the past like. 5 weeks i think i've been on and off working on remaking my neocities site in react and adding some new features and just generally making it better !!

Ive got draggable windows, gifs for things im into, some songs i really like, some of my neocities moots, an 88x31 button for my site, and more planned!! i would really like it if u checked it out and followed me if u have a neocities! (ill follow u back)

You know what, fuck this baby-ass website for babies.

Tumblr, you wanna keep flagging my Review posts cause they have a single gif with a barely-visible nipple in them, that's one thing. But to keep flagging these ancient posts of mine that are comprised of literally just - I kid you not - simple, unedited screenshots from the hit Nickelodeon cartoon "The Angry Beavers", that's another thing entirely.

I'm 38 fucking years old, I do not have time nor patience for this bullshit.

I've been checking in on the site regularly to see how my gif posts have been faring because I'm a stupid little addict who likes seeing the little numbers go up, even though I don't actually use this site anymore as intended. Well, I've had it up to here with this flagging nonsense, so it's time to fucking shut it off and pack it up, for GOOD this time.

I'm letting the queue empty out, drafts and all, and I'm not putting anything else into it after that. Granted, there's still several months worth of gifs in the queue at the moment, but that's that. No more.

This is my line in the sand. Tumblr can't handle when I put a barely visible nipple in a gif and keeps telling me I'm breaking their policies on sexual content by having reblogged a video a year ago that dared to feature drag queens in it, not to mention flagging many-years-old posts with screenshots of oh-so-horrible Definitely Adult Material cartoons like Humanity Has Declined, Spartakus & The Sun Beneath The Sea, and The Angry Beavers. What a fucking joke.

Anyway, if you haven't already, come visit me on a REAL website: MINE. No ads, no comment sections, no autoplay videos, no content feeds, no paywalls, no subscription service shilling, not even a goddamn Like button. It's fucking BEAUTIFUL. I have a ton of stuff you can check out there: art (uncensored), comics, music, original novels you can read ON SITE, anime reviews, old cringey AMVs, and a more.

Click THIS LINK (nsfw warning) and bookmark me!

I love the people I've met here, but I hope this shitty website burns to the ground. AGAIN.

Bring back the untamed wilderness of the internet. Get yourself a (free) personal website today and go find me there!

Made a fun lil' demo to test out CSS blending modes. I did it in ~2 hours so it's hacky as shit but it's fun enough to look at for a couple minutes.

As always, it looks way better in person than on gifs, so go see it on my website~
