beginner’s guide to the indie web

“i miss the old internet” “we’ll never have websites like the ones from the 90s and early 2000s ever again” “i’m tired of social media but there’s nowhere to go”

HOLD ON!

personal websites and indie web development still very much exist! it may be out of the way to access and may not be the default internet experience anymore, but if you want to look and read through someone’s personally crafted site, or even make your own, you can still do it! here’s how:

use NEOCITIES! neocities has a built in search and browse tools to let you discover websites, and most importantly, lets you build your own website from scratch for free! (there are other ways to host websites for free, but neocities is a really good hub for beginners!)

need help getting started with coding your website? sadgrl online has a section on her website dedicated to providing resources for newbie webmasters!

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are the core of what all websites are built on. many websites also use JS (JavaScript) to add interactive elements to their pages. w3schools is a useful directory of quick reference for pretty much every HTML/CSS/JS topic you can think of.

there is also this well written and lengthy guide on dragonfly cave that will put you step by step through the basics of HTML/CSS (what webpages are made from), if that’s your sort of thing!

stack overflow is every programmer’s hub for asking questions and getting help, so if you’re struggling with getting something to look how you want or can’t fix a bug, you may be able to get your answer here! you can even ask if no one’s asked the same question before.

websites like codepen and jsfiddle let you test HTML/CSS/JS in your browser as you tinker with small edits and bugfixing.

want to find indie websites outside the scope of neocities? use the search engine marginalia to find results you actually want that google won’t show you!

you can also use directory sites like yesterweb’s link section to find websites in all sorts of places.

if you are going to browse the indie web or make your own website, i also have some more personal tips as a webmaster myself (i am not an expert and i am just a small hobbyist, so take me with a grain of salt!)

if you are making your own site:

get expressive! truly make whatever you want! customize your corner of the internet to your heart’s content! you have left the constrains of social media where every page looks the same. you have no character limit, image limit, or design limit. want to make an entire page or even a whole website dedicated to your one niche interest that no one seems to be into but you? go for it! want to keep a public journal where you can express your thoughts without worry? do it! want to keep an art gallery that looks exactly how you want? heck yeah! you are free now! you will enjoy the indie web so much more if you actually use it for the things you can’t do on websites like twitter, instead of just using it as a carrd bio alternative or a place to dump nostalgic geocities gifs.

don’t overwhelm yourself! if you’ve never worked with HTML/CSS or JS before, it may look really intimidating. start slow, use some guides, and don’t bite off more than you can chew. even if your site doesn’t look how you want quite yet, be proud of your work! you’re learning a skill that most people don’t have or care to have, and that’s pretty cool.

keep a personal copy of your website downloaded to your computer and don’t just edit it on neocities (or your host of choice) and call it a day. if for some reason your host were to ever go down, you would lose all your hard work! and besides, by editing locally and offline, you can use editors like vscode (very robust) or notepad++ (on the simpler side), which have more features and is more intuitive than editing a site in-browser.

you can use ctrl+shift+i on most browsers to inspect the HTML/CSS and other components of the website you’re currently viewing. it’ll even notify you of errors! this is useful for bugfixing your own site if you have a problem, as well as looking at the code of sites you like and learning from it. don’t use this to steal other people’s code! it would be like art theft to just copy/paste an entire website layout. learn, don’t steal.

don’t hotlink images from other sites, unless the resource you’re taking from says it’s okay! it’s common courtesy to download images and host them on your own site instead of linking to someone else’s site to display them. by hotlinking, every time someone views your site, you’re taking up someone else’s bandwidth.

if you want to make your website easily editable in the future (or even for it to have multiple themes), you will find it useful to not use inline CSS (putting CSS in your HTML document, which holds your website’s content) and instead put it in a separate CSS file. this way, you can also use the same theme for multiple pages on your site by simply linking the CSS file to it. if this sounds overwhelming or foreign to you, don’t sweat it, but if you are interested in the difference between inline CSS and using separate stylesheets, w3schools has a useful, quick guide on the subject.

visit other people’s sites sometimes! you may gain new ideas or find links to more cool websites or resources just by browsing.

if you are browsing sites:

if the page you’re viewing has a guestbook or cbox and you enjoyed looking at the site, leave a comment! there is nothing better as a webmaster than for someone to take the time to even just say “love your site” in their guestbook.

that being said, if there’s something on a website you don’t like, simply move on to something else and don’t leave hate comments. this should be self explanatory, but it is really not the norm to start discourse in indie web spaces, and you will likely not even be responded to. it’s not worth it when you could be spending your time on stuff you love somewhere else.

take your time! indie web doesn’t prioritize fast content consumption the way social media does. you’ll get a lot more out of indie websites if you really read what’s in front of you, or take a little while to notice the details in someone’s art gallery instead of just moving on to the next thing. the person who put labor into presenting this information to you would also love to know that someone is truly looking and listening.

explore! by clicking links on a website, it’s easy to go down rabbitholes of more and more websites that you can get lost in for hours.

seeking out fansites or pages for the stuff you love is great and fulfilling, but reading someone’s site about a topic you’ve never even heard of before can be fun, too. i encourage you to branch out and really look for all the indie web has to offer.

i hope this post helps you get started with using and browsing the indie web! feel free to shoot me an ask if you have any questions or want any advice. <3

reaching out to any Jews willing to talk to me (i am pro-israel)

now that my pinned post is getting too long and disorganized, I feel the need to make a better resource for all of this information. originally, i was going to just redo the map section with an update on new ones that i found. making a separate post just for that and linking solely to that. but instead i'm wondering if something more like a linktree or it's own website/blog would be useful?

i know HTML/CSS and though i haven't used my skills in a bit, i am willing to pick it back up for this.

however, i didn't want to do this without getting opinions from Jews & Jumblr itself. i also wanted to ask if there were more resources that could be shared with me and if we could collab on this project?

As a non-Jew reading all of this hate is hard enough but I'm willing to bet it is twice as hard as a Jew, so I'm willing to take the brunt of it while anyone willing to speak to me or whatever stays anonymous.

please spread this post as I'm genuinely trying to help. my DM's are open and I genuinely would like an answer. I'm not going to tag anyone in this despite there being very prominent openly Jewish blogs on this website as I don't want to send any hateful people towards you.

even if you don't reblog the post, liking it and sending a link to others would be appreciated.

I stand with Israel and with the Jews. I'm tired of not doing anything beyond meaningless fights on the internet.

How To: Gradient AO3 Divider

Last year we prepared a little something to make the fics written for our event more uniform and look a little more fun. This materialized as a workskin coded by @alto-tenure that contains a colourful gradient divider for AO3 from the colours of our theme.

To learn how to make yourself a colourful divider like this one without any graphic skills, see the tutorial under the read-more.

At first, you'll need to create a Work Skin:

Go to your profile on AO3 and choose the “Skins” option. Click “My Work Skins”, and there “Create Work Skin”.

Name the skin. (This has to be a unique name out of every AO3 user’s personal workskins, so “BigBang” or other straightforward names will most likely be taken, meaning you have to play around a little to find an eligible one.)

To the “CSS” box, copy paste the following html code and insert the HEX code of the colours you want to use (for example, #66c50b for our brightest green). We specified out 6 colours here, but you can use as many as you like.

#workskin .hr { height: 3px; width: 35%; background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #HEXcode, #HEXcode, #HEXcode); text-align: center; }

Click “Update” at the bottom of the page.

2. Second, you'll need to start using the Work Skin

Go to publish a new work or chapter like you normally would.

At the “Associations” section, select the previously created Work Skin.

Insert the text like you normally would, then click on the “HTML”view. Here, search for the placeholder(s) you left, where the section break(s) have to be.

Delete these, replacing them with the following code at every place you want to have a divider:

<div align="center"> <div class="hr"></div></div>

You're done, post your work! 🎉

[askcmdee]

Anon so this doesn't come from my main but it's nsfruitw- I LOVE YOUR BLOG CODING OMG??? THE WORKING BUTTONS AND MOVING WINDOWS ARE SO AWESOME???? I'm so excited for Dee's ask blog!!!

<OOC:>

Ahhhhhh!!! thank you!!! I had three different potential blogs.. but a lot of them didn't really met my wishes/criteria.

Which in case you're interested were:

Windows 98 look

Search bar

Visible tags

One Column

Separate Window for your Profile Info with a picture. (maybe separate icons or a lil menu for links)

No endless scrolling/seperate pages

I will put everything else under the cut since the post became quite long haha

This was one of the first themes I tried out (tbh I kinda jumped between all of them, trying stuff out)

I loveeee the start bar on this one, the icons and that it can be one or two columns. But it has no search bar and I didn't like that the profile section is super small, has no picture and couldn't be swapped to the left instead of the right side. I'm not confident enough in my html/css skills to competently yoink that start bar and transplant it into a different theme

Pros VS Cons: + animated start-bar (with accurate time in the corner) + one column (or two columns) + Windows 98 look + functional corner buttons + icons + custom background picture - no search bar - tiny info profile window, no picture (can't be moved to the left side) - endless scrolling - no visible tags

I prefer this theme for the most part over the previous one.. even if i loveee the functional startbar feature there! Its practically perfect. it can be one or two columns (i prefer one column blog layouts personally) You can add a lil picture in the profile section, its on the left side and you have a search bar!

I also looooveee that the post windows look extremely accurate and that the tags are always visible. (< another thing thats often kinda hidden in themes, so i tend to forget about it) Also the lil corner buttons can actually be used to like or reblog the post! what a highlight<3. my only issue was that i couldnt add a background picture.. and i kinda liked the idea of having separate icons for obvious links like I do now.

Pros VS Cons: + Windows 98 look + functional corner buttons + one column (or two columns + No endless scrolling (page by page) + Left side Info Window with picture and links + Visible tags

- no custom background picture

Another theme that I tried out is this one

They made the same theme I ended up using. It has a built in music player (that wont auto run!) a profile section + picture, customizable icons and background. But the biggest thing for me is that it doesn't have a search bar and I really need/want searchbars in my themes.

It's a really solid theme! It just fell a lil short for what I wanted to have

Pros VS Cons: + Windows 98 look + one column + No endless scrolling (page by page) + Left side Info Window with picture and links + Visible tags + music player (bonus) + custom icons and custom background picture + custom lil link window

- no searchbar (my biggest issue with a lot of themes haha)

Okay so last is the theme I ended up using which is this one:

It's very similar to the previous theme (Nostalgia 98) and was made by the same person. I edited the code a lil to have the tags be visible instead of needing to hover and to add another icon for links. It works but it’s also the only icon that isn’t draggable haha

Pros VS Cons: + Windows 98 look + one column + No endless scrolling (page by page) + Left side Info Window with picture and links + custom icons and custom background picture + custom icons for custom links

- no visible tags (I edited the code a lil so they're permanently visible)

Independent Archive Survey

What skills do you already have in web design, web development, or site-building?

Competence Exists (>50% of respondents have this skill)

HTML

CSS

Wordpress

Competence Developing (25-49% of respondents have this skill)

Python

Other coding language

MySQL

Graphics design

Area of Need (<25% of respondents have this skill)

Drupal

Other content management system

PHP

Analysis

I debated about how best to visualize these data, which are perhaps the most complex in the survey. Being an educator and therefore used to thinking in terms of proficiency, I decided to represent the data in that way: which technical skills are most needed among potential archivists.

And, to be clear, everything on this survey is not required to run an archive. I am emphatically not a coder but have run a successful archive for many years now using first eFiction and now Drupal. I had two purposes in asking this question. First: if I make tutorial materials, where is my effort best spent? You don't have to know HTML and CSS to use Drupal, but it sure makes things (especially theming!) easier if you have at least some understanding of them. Second: where are efforts to expand options for building independent archives best directed?

On the second question, Wordpress surfaces and not for the first time. There have been various efforts and making a fanfic archive plugin for Wordpress over the years. My SWG co-admin Russandol and I even tinkered with Wordpress last year, trying to build an archive using existing plugins. From what we can find of supported plugins, it doesn't seem possible at this time.

But the data here suggest that it would be ideal if it were possible. Many fans have at least some experience with Wordpress, and some have quite a bit. The ability to provide an archive option that builds on existing competence is ideal.

I do think it's likely that respondents were underestimating their skills. I do not think that only one respondent had an expert knowledge of HTML. Unfortunately, it is difficult to define what is meant by beginner, intermediate, and expert without getting bogged down, and we fandom people are very good at imposter syndrome. ("I can't possibly be an expert in this useful thing!") I'd define "expert" as "able to do what is needed using this tool or knowing how to find information to do what is needed," and I'm guessing more than a few of the "intermediates" can in fact do this for HTML, which makes me think that all of the graphs may see an upward shift in terms of expertise levels.

What is the independent archive survey?

The independent archive survey ran from 23 June through 7 July 2023. Eighty-two respondents took the survey during that time. The survey asked about interest in independent archives and included a section for participants interested in building or volunteering for an independent archive. The survey was open to all creators and readers/viewers of fanworks.

What is an independent archive?

The survey defined an independent archive as "a website where creators can share their fanworks. What makes it 'independent' is that it is run by fans but unaffiliated with any for-profit or nonprofit corporations or organizations. Historically, independent archives have grown out of fan communities that create fanworks."

Follow the tag #independent archives for more survey results and ongoing work to restore independent archives to fandoms that want them.

Brower Electric - Commit #0: Figma

Hello internet. I've been taking a web development class and we are now working on our final project for the semester. We are making a website for an electrical contracting company named Brower Electric. If the owners of the company like our website best, they will use it live. It's an opportunity to show our skills and get a great starting project for our resumes.

Brower Electric is a longstanding family-owned general electrical contracting business that specializes in commercial electrical jobs, but has experience in industrial and residential too.

They wanted a simple, attractive, professional page that kept consistent coloring. They wanted contact information, project information, resume submission, and testimonials front-and-center.

I used Figma to do my design work. It's a simple, browser-based online design tool that uses frames and layers.

I would have produced multiple wireframes/mockups to move together towards a design if I had more interview opportunities with the client.

I designed/wireframed for the desktop, but I will use Bootstrap 5 when I write the HTML and CSS which is built mobile-up. This may be an oversight but I learn best by experiencing the consequences of my actions.

Home Page - Front Facade:

The first thing when you see the page will be a carousel that switches through cards that display testimonials. By using a grey background on the cards, I help keep color variety to a minimum. Because neutral colors don't count.

I kept a simple solid background that matches the logo. Simple and consistent, per the client's request.

The navbar has a Call Now button in bold red to funnel users towards contact with the client. The navbar will be sticky so it is always visible. I used a lighter blue for the background, just dragging the color picker from the body/logo color until it was something attractive

The logo was hand-drawn. I used a web tool to remove the background and nested the company name in it.

There is also another contact button specifically for quotes. This will also funnel users to contact. It will not collapse on mobile so it will be a useful way to contact the company with only a small scroll. No toggling required.

Home Page:

The next section of the homepage goes over the types of services offered. The blank spaces will be stock images related to the heading on the other side of the tree. On mobile, the text will overlay on the image, they will stack in one column, and there will be no tree.

I made a point to include that they were family-owned, established, as well as Licensed Bonded and Insured. This builds customer confidence in the business.

I will likely use a Bootstrap Grid to build this section.

I will also use cards to display the current projects. They will stack on mobile. The current projects gives an idea of the contractors workload as well as what the staff is freshly-trained to do.

The simple footer on the bottom provides contact info and a nav on the bottom for user-friendliness.

About Us:

The about us page is simple and straightforward, because that's how these folks run their business. A past projects accordion will be a space-efficient way to include all their projects (there are a lot, these guys have been in the biz for decades.)

Contact Us:

I decided to display the contact information on cards in the contact us page. The large central card serves as a general directory on what number to call to get things done quickly. I left the former owner on the site, but excluded his contact information. People looking for Mike Brower's company now know that it is still in business, this is it's website, and that Mike is retired.

Donald doesn't like to be contacted directly. So I put a message on his card to funnel contact through someone else first.

Careers:

This page is a simple form submission for a resume. It is very bare bones because the client requested something simple that just lets him do a quick initial screen and initiate contact himself.

They are always hiring for different positions so the user must specify what kind of job title they are looking for.

Conclusion:

Designing this site was fun! I don't really consider myself a creative so building something like this was a great confidence booster. I feel very confident in my ability to code this website for 2 reasons: first, I have built very similar things before, such as the glamourscreens website I built earlier this semester; second, most everything I have included in this website has extensive support included in Bootstrap 5.

This feels like some of my best work yet, and I feel confident that it is something the client will be very pleased with too.

Brower Electric - Commit #4 - Current Project Cards

This commit (or series of commits), I built the current project cards and the small footer on the bottom of the page, as well as some minor changes for typos and such.

On Desktop:

On Mobile:

(If you're viewing this post on desktop, sorry about the image quality here)

In Between:

The HTML:

Our Current projects will be contained in a div that is always 90vw wide with 5% margins on either side.

Originally, I wanted to keep everything in a Bootstrap Grid, but they occupy the space between CSS Tables/Grids and Flexboxes. For this particular situation, Flexboxes will be the best utility because the justify-content-between tool sounds like it will be useful for the way I want the responsiveness to work.

There are currently 2 projRow divs with 2 unstyled "col" divs in each that contain one bootstrap card.

The rows are flexed with flex wrap enabled and they take up 100% the width of their parent section.

The cards are the basic Bootstrap 5 card components. They use a grid and have several pre-made breakpoints in the cards and pre-styled classes for card content.

The max-width-projCards helps me control the width of the cards.

We have a div that centers its content. It contains an <hr> (horizontal line) tag that is 75% the width of the page and has a 2px black border.

Then we have our footer. 2 centered <p> tags one has the footer paragraph with <br> tags separating the lines. One is a simple footer nav.

The CSS:

I did not write much custom CSS here. I changed the card-text to black since my default <p> color is white. The title also got some styling to match the page.

The .max-width-projCards sets the max width to 100% of the viewport. But by default it is 500px.

The projRow contains that space around justify content thing I was talking about earlier. It keeps all the divs organized equally apart.

Conclusion:

This commit, I learned more about the peculiarities of the Bootstrap Grid and a situation where a more traditional flex-box is appropriate. I think it is important that I learn more about these core code-design decisions as I improve in my skills as a developer.
