I wrote a blog. It's about how I want to use social media. I have talked about it a while ago already (here in the fedi), but I added some thoughts and updates.

I added some other things to the site as well.

What I absolutely adore about the indie/ personal/ small web: Everybody's approach is very different. There are super modern looking websites and there are the ones who seem to come straight out of the 1990's/ early 2000's. There are ones that are specially made to work on the oldest computers. There are ones with and ones without Java Script. Ones made by pro web devs and ones made my people who are just starting to learn the basics. There are people who've been there from the beginning and those who are very new. And everything in between. People of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.
In visiting personal websites you are seeing and experiencing the diversity of the world. And it's glorious!

I'm a bit obsessed with working on my website currently. And inspired by all the fantastic personal websites I'm finding. So here's another update to my website:
I added three pages: a sitemap, a page where I want to collect all the single pages I want to make, and one such single page.
I also put the change log on my homepage into a scrollable box. I'm not super happy with how it looks, but I do like a scrollable box thing.
I am feeling a bigger re-design coming... I have ideas, but don't know when I'll actually sit down to try it out. I have some ideas of single pages first.

Last night I pushed some super basic custom CSS to my photo-focused GoToSocial profile @kamera@haugenh.us. While it's no Pixelfed, I like the simplicity of GtS.

• Gallery: https://fedi.haugenh.us/@kamera

To any considering running a personal fediverse instance, I highly recommend checking out GoToSocial. Don't be fooled by it's simplicity, it also gives control in a way no other fediverse platform I've tried has done, including interaction controls, control over post visibility – on ActivityPub as well as the web and RSS feeds – post importing and backdating, and of course custom CSS at both instance and profile levels.

Getting things up an running was easy for me due in large part to the fantastically motivated GtS community. Especially helpful for me were:

• FediHost by @fedihost for a quick start through dead simple managed hosting.
• Posty by @oli for a tool to manage old Pixelfed and Mastodon backups.
• Slurp by @vyr to import and backdate posts from Mastodon and Pixelfed backups (some of which I needed to run through Posty first for reasons).

Now presenting

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!

everyone should blog! but what if you don't feel like you have something to say?

@flamed has some ideas on what to #blog in case you're struggling for ideas, pulling inspiration from the loveliest of places, local bookstores. <3

(Finally) Thinking about starting to work on the next iteration of my website.

Eyeing either @eleventy or Hugo, but kinda leaning toward 11ty.

The idea is to have a landing page, a notes/blog area (list and detail), a projects area (list and detail), and an about page/CV. Any thoughts?

I write stuff, and sometimes I dump links (mainly as a way to offload my open tabs). This month's #linkdump is up:

Here are my favorites; a thread:

1) A brand new CSS property allows to control text according to the font's x-height instead of the previous half-leading technique. I'm curious how this can change the practice of #webtoprint in the future. For the better? Use it and tell me how it goes!

#introduction
Hi! I'm Delyo, a designer working with libre, open and shared software. I work in the intersection of design, digital, and writing.

Big #punk listener, #sciencefiction reader, admirer of the handcrafted and #personalweb

I #design websites and print, often write on my #blog about digital freedom, counter/culture and design, and like #climbing fake rock walls.

I occasionally post #music recommendations and updates of my website (it's a journey)

I use Linux (but you knew that)

I've been pretty bad about blogging about the books I read this semester. Here are some thoughts about the books I've read since June.

I'll post my list of the books I read this year soon.
