Is it "okay" to have several very tiny websites -- rather than a larger "everything goes with individual pages design"-- website, on neocities? Even back in the 00's, I was always more into collectives of micro-sites than larger personal sites. (Yes I'm getting imposter syndrome.)

So glad to hear it's not an etiquette thing! I browse the general activity page avidly and I felt I was doing things wrong. The switch is easy indeed (except I forget to log myself out on the CLI tool and randomly replace a site by another, which happened only the one or twenty times.)

No comparisons should ever be made. As long as you're pleased with your own content, it's the most important. Never forget that a website is made by someone who has tastes and a life, the site is only there to convey ideas and designs. Some people are talkative, other are nearly silent, that doesn't make them less worth than talkative ones. Your website is really awesome and I wish I had 1/100th of your talent.

I can feel there's passion and work behind your stuff, it's easy to criticize but harder to actually do content. Do it like you want, please yourself before trying to appeal to others. I believe in you !

Love the tone of your smol images post. Huge plus one to everything you are saying! I'm inspired to swap all my images over to webp!! Personal shoutout to TinyPNG and TingJPG for easy compression. There is a VSCode extension available for it too (up to 500 images a month on the free tier)

I don't 100% agree, but I find it funny when people are like "omg sorry I haven't been uploading my site" after not updating for only a week or two.

I feel the same way, as someone that rotates through hobbies all the time, I was surprised how long I've been consistently working on my site but I'm glad for it. Abandoned sites are like "___ was here" tags, it's interesting to see a moment in someone's life preserved online

i agree with this post honestly, especially that it's fine to abandon your site (plenty of amazing geocities cites weren't maintained for that long) but also with regards to things like carrd-like sites. the freedom to make your site whatever you want includes making it just as a holder for links to your other accounts!

added loading="lazy" to all my pics on this page to hopefully help loading time, will be making it more accessible in other ways later today :3

1) your pics are lovely. 2) English names are the best. DEADnettle? Creeping Charlie? 3) You might have better luck with the html5 "srcset" attribute to define smaller image depending on the screen size. Just figure out how large they need to be for mobile, then do multiple versions + eventually make them Webp / run them through tinypng.

The reason the images are probably loading so slowly is because the image source is large. You could downscale it with a program to a smaller size and that will make it load a lot faster. Because even though they're in a small container, the browser still needs to download the image from the source file which is quite big. 👍

@scopefilter i think i need to do that with my flower frame borders too! i didnt realize my source files for them were so large. i think i would like to keep the size of the actual flower pics i took tho, so ppl can open them in a new tab at higher res

scopefilter 11 months ago

That might help! but to me the flower images load the slowest on that page so I'd start there 🙂
