💭️ Small Web July | July 05, 2025 - 8:30 p.m.

Since I have seen a few posts and comments about Small Web July, I think I will give it a shot. So for my Small Web July, my plans are:

On me changing my name and why it's so powerful for us in the #trans community

@artlung I'd like to thank Joe Crawford and crew for a very enjoyable Create Day Saturday. It was great to review the progress on everyone's websites and projects and get to know more about the #IndieWeb group.

So I am now a #forum administrator. How quaint.

My wonderful wife writes. A lot. And she mostly does her writing on various fora. But communities being what they are and "don't talk politics" being necessary for keeping clear of the toxic tribalism that woodworms these places given the chance, her expression is limited.

So I set up a forum for her and her friends. Private and invitation only and non-scrapable by AI and owned and run by us. #indieweb of a kind, better than discord.

In a fit of I don't know what, I started a subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/LeaveSubstack/ #publishing #indieweb

I think I can actually implement a combined articles plus posts #RSS feed on my blog super easily with existing functionality in my static site generator.

BUT…the items in the feed would not be in chronological order. All of them do have pubDate set though.

Would this be a problem for modern feed readers…?

#IndieWeb #SmallWeb

Does anyone know if there was a particular term that emerged for describing the 2D detailed smiley that made up the #indieweb of the mid-90s to mid-00s?

I remember crawling sites in that time admiring all the love people put into them. I've been trying to find sites that archived them to build out my own site, and had very little luck with sites like GifCities.

YouTube is now recommending me a bunch of videos of people making their own cute little HTML websites, usually on Neocities or what they are calling The Indie Web and its giving me hope.

I knew this was a thing, and I knew people are still making websites like this, but it's really fun to see people encouraging people to do the same or making tutorials on YouTube.

To celebrate the first anniversary of my website, I've written a "thank you"-letter to all the bloggers of the human web:

Special thanks again to @bojidar_bg for the birthday cake.

I'm looking forward to many more years on the personal web!

I can finally say I've had a small piece of the web that's all mine for a **decade** as of today 🥳

It's a little indulgent, but I decided to mark the occasion by piecing together a rough timeline for my personal site. It ended up being quite the fun thread to pull on 😁

From Louie Mantia: “The web is so cool. Think about it. You can publish whatever, whenever. And when you do, it is instantly accessible around the globe. It’s one of the freest things. […]

Uh oh. Monocle is threatening to over whelm me this morning. I expect someone, or several someone's, has had trouble with their RSS, but I have no intention of finding out.
