While we're here, let's give a little plug to Neocities.

https://neocities.org

The mission statement for the company is to restore some individuality to the web. The internet used to be clunky and inconsistent, but it was also fun and expressive.

The move to corporately controlled closed platforms and homogenous content management systems has made things easier to find, but it's taken the soul away from the web.

If you're a big corporate then yes, your message probably needs to go through big corporate channels and have the quirkiness stripped out of it.

But if you're a person starting a blog about your niche-within-a-niche interest, that maybe half a dozen people will ever read, do you really need that? Within half an hour of browsing through the sites on Neocities I knew I'd be building one of my own.

If you learned a bit of html back in the day, or would like to try your hand at building a website that doesn't need you to learn three frameworks and a server-side programming language, definitely check them out. I haven't had this much fun on the internet in years.
