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. ⁂

Make Your Own Website
https://web.pixelshannon.com/make

This guide is intended to help beginners make their first website with HTML/CSS.

I originally wrote it for my daughter, then 12 years old, so she could make a website for a school project. I think it is now complete-enough for anyone to follow to get started making a personal or hobby site.

Let me know what you think!

It's been years, many years, actually, since I last built a site with HTML. Recently, I've been wanting to end my participation in the larger web and start contributing to a smaller web. A web that was full of creative people, building cool and fun sites, and sharing information. Not the web of today that is full of companies pumping ads at us, forcing us to use ad blockers to keep us safe, or the companies scraping the web to build their AI models. The web of today is terrible, bloated, and not what the internet was originally created for.

I've deleted my personal and freelance/consulting sites, both built on bloated WordPress, and I have been reintroducing myself to HTML and CSS so I can rebuild my sites. I've been having so much fun. To do this, I've joined https://bearblog.dev for my personal site/blog, and https://neocities.org as a practice space for working on my HTML and CSS. Both are brilliant, and to support both, it's really affordable.

To start my journey of reintroducing myself to HTML and CSS, I read (multiple times) @bw's online book, "HTML for People". You can find it at https://htmlforpeople.com/. And if you enjoy reading it, throw a bit of money Blake's way for all of the hard work.

Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox about the bloated web of today and get back to learning HTML and CSS. My personal site is still a bit crap, but I'm working on it! 😃

I've been unemployed for more than a year. To help bring some money in, I've been trying to get clients that need a website for their business, org, etc. For now, I'm using WordPress to build the sites, but as my HTML and CSS skills improve, I am going to completely move away from WordPress and build sites with HTML and CSS. People keep telling me that it's not possible, but these people are also WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal users and developers. You can totally do it. Some business sites can even be built with static site generators. We don't need all the bloat in website builds.
