You might've heard of its spiritual successor, https://neocities.org? Recently I put together a beginner-friendly tutorial showing you how to create your own gallery page and host it on Neocities for free.

I'll be turning this into a series, so stay tuned for more!

The World Wide Web is still here, we’re just not using it like we were.. It doesn’t need to be complicated to allow us a free and open expression of creativity."

this will likely be a recurring reminder as the weeks go by, but i'm so excited about this project. i have to share! (this is the first time i've been nervous to announce something on this side of the web!)

i'm combining my 10 years of journalism experience with my love for the #indieweb by launching GOOD INTERNET, a regular periodical magazine in both print and digital formats. and this is a non-profit, completely independent endeavor!

https://goodinternetmagazine.com/

ultimately, Good Internet will cover a lot of different aspects of the small web: 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. it will be approachable for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned indie web travelers!

the #smallweb can be hard to keep up with if you aren't "plugged in," especially if you want to find other hobby website owners, folks coding for fun, weird web projects, or artists taking back their digital ownership. it's overdue that this side of the web has an analog publication!

having a central publication about the decentralized parts of the personal web makes me even more excited to share this hobby with those who might not even know about it--all within beautiful, high-res, high-quality pages.

the idea here is to have a physical celebration of this hobby in addition to being informative, helpful, and accessible.
