Resources for making your own site
This is just stuff I found helpful as someone with zero coding experience. If you want to build your own house on the interweb it does not have to be that hard! Take my hand
The most common hosts I see are Neocities and (more recently) Nekoweb. For the sake of transparency I do think it's worth mentioning that a lot of artists have been moving to Nekoweb because the creator of Neocities has (sort of) spoken out in defense of AI.
However, I did find this thread from someone who actually reached out to him about it, and he says outright that he will not force it on anyone using Neocities or scrape user data.
I don't personally feel the need to move, but I see this mentioned enough that I figured I might as well just leave it here so people have all the information. Either way, the site editors are pretty similar, so following basic tutorials for Neocities should be relatively easy on Nekoweb too.
General stuff:
- Absolute beginner's guide to Neocities
- W3Schools free coding tutorials for literally anything
- How to center in CSS
- Online color picker
- 88x31 button maker
- Why you should avoid hotlinking
- Tips about accessibility
- Zonelets Easily set up your own blog (can also be used as a template if you want)
- Atabook Simple free guestbook by the devs of nekoweb
- Dark mode tutorial
- status cafe For the status widget in my sidebar. Pretty self-explanatory, but I would also like to say that the person who runs it is really nice and if you forget your password or something (I did) you can literally just email them for help. I keep seeing people moping about their lost accounts. Send an email brother...
- Neocities site counter I like this one because it pulls directly from your neocities data. it's a little extra work but each step is explained very well
- Similar option for nekoweb (I assume. have not used it myself)
- FC2 Counter cuter and easier to use, but less accurate bc I'm pretty sure it just counts every single click
If you want to start with a premade layout:
I also recommend the Webmaster Webring's resource page. I think the philosophy behind it (get it done, don't worry about whether or not it's "authentic") is a good one to adopt if you're nervous about not knowing how to code. Just make the damn website
