Calling people who write their own #websites by hand, or appreciate those who do!

Do you have a favourite #links page style? It's been ages since I've composed a website manually. I'm avoiding CMS for now, just doing it the hard way with #html and #css, but want to make an attractive table of links to other sites, and a bit of blurb about them.

Seeking minimalist style and maximum #accessibility .

Thanky'all

@MattMoose i personally prefer the classic <a href="url here">some text</a> to make hyper links

@MattMoose here's a non-specific page from my website that has hyper links on it http://zone.dog/braindump/spline_fields/

@MattMoose I misread your post. This is probably a better example https://zone.dog/braindump/arty/ For the pages that are primarily references to other resources I usually use a <ul> list of the links. I often also try to include a link to a cached version on archive.org (denoted by a floppy disk in parenthesis next to the main hyperlink)

@MattMoose for accessibility, a good rule of thumb is 1) respect the semantic meaning of HTML tags, 2) make sure your page is functional and not full of bullshit when you turn off style sheets, and 3) make sure images have alt text. If you stick to these rules, odds are pretty good your website will work just fine with screen readers.

@aeva @MattMoose This is okay for references to other resources, but as a general links page there's too much to read.
