Added a humans.txt page per @lucaslove suggestion. Open to submissions of Ascii Art, so long as there is some sort of alt text I can provide for a screen reader warning.

Also became the first widget owner for the HTML Energy Webring : P : ) I'd like to add some other javascript webring widgets, but I was having a lot of trouble 😰 I'm glad I keep the javascript minimal.

🎉🎉🎉 it's the 34th birthday of the world wide #web so it's a great day to share the upcoming deadline for #writing submissions to GOOD INTERNET! two and a half weeks away!!!
📖 in case you're unaware, GOOD INTERNET is an #indie print AND digital magazine that is run & contributed to by volunteers!
#goodinternet covers a lot of different aspects of the #SmallWeb: unplugging from the corporate web, fighting #enshittification, migrating from data-harvesting corpo social media, creating your own personal website, using code and website-building as an #art form, federation, and creating websites for fun. the aim is to be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned #indieweb travelers!
🙅 you don't have to be a pro #webdev or a #coding whiz to write about all the good things happening on "this side" of the web.
📣 we want to spread the word about and share thoughts, independent web projects, services, methods, sites, meet-ups, and celebrate the non-corporate web together while making it easier for us to partake and unplug from #bigtech and unhealthy #socialmedia habits.
🔍 we're looking for 1,000- to 4,000-word articles aimed at website owners and hobbyists, any digital (and traditional) artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, social media expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned web.
⌛ the deadline is August 22, 2025 ⌛
🙏 please boost and help get the word out!

I’m a little bored with my site’s appearance, but also couldn’t think of one look that would be better, so inspired by (maga)zine layouts and other people’s beautiful sites, I’ve tried to give myself more flexibility to try out ideas, good and bad.

Thinking of redesigning the landing page for honora.neocities.org.
Maybe I could have two PNGs and on hover it draws a circle revealing the tower interior?
But then I need a way to hide that whole thing from mobile.
Ideas and thoughts welcome .

i wrote a guide to installing, configuring, and running a single-user @Mastodon server. it sets up a @hetzner VPS on ubuntu linux, but the instructions are general enough.
highlights: local disk storage, subdomain redirect, improved configuration files, security and performance, privacy and safety considerations. this server was created by following the guide. hello fediverse. ⁂

New slashpage: /uses on #BurgeonLab ✍️
➡️ https://www.burgeonlab.com/uses/
Finally got round to listing all my favourite tools, software, hardware, services on one page. Plan to expand the list further by adding my favourite analogue tools and adding some images in the future.
And a question... Should I add links to all the products/apps?

@elena I am glad you posted about #posse and #indieweb as I was not really aware of their work. I too intend to get more involved. It is encouraging to me that others have similar goals.

Nick Heer blogging about the Ghost 6.0 release:
If Ghost added MarsEdit support, I would be awful tempted to switch from WordPress.
Probably not going to happen. People have asked for it. Ghost has oddly never cared about open APIs until recently, with ActivityPub, and even that was years after everyone else added support for it.
If you want the most support for lots of APIs and publishing from different apps, there are only two suitable platforms: WordPress and Micro.blog.

Wenn's das nächste Update auch um 3 Uhr früh gibt, wird's Tradition.
Ich hab eine neue Website gebaut: "Schikes Trödelladen". Hauptsächlich ein Vorwand, um meine Bilder und Fotos irgendwo hochzuladen.
Aber auch eine kleine Liebeserklärung an das Internet der frühen 2000er. Ganz im Geiste dessen hab ich auch komplett auf Flexbox verzichtet! Es war schmerzhaft!
Aber das Ergebnis taugt. Besonders die Bildminiaturen sind finde ich ganz cool geworden.
