I have spent tens of thousands of hours on the internet, and I must have some kind of encyclopedic knowledge of information of a lot of things. But a habit I have long had is that as soon as I see a word or thing I haven’t seen before, I Google it, or research it. Well, I don’t know where I heard about Neocities. But I hear about Geocities every couple of years, so maybe it was on the Wikipedia page. Anyways, first thing I checked out was the one YouTube video that existed about it, which was by Andrue. He had a site called voupie.lol, which had an HTML chao garden and some shrines and a lot of the typical indie web things like that.I was inspired, though, so I made a Neocities site like his Youtube video recommended.
Oh, I think I may have made my first Neocities site a few days before that, actually, my bad. It was just some basic text on a page, with this image of Goku as the background wallpaper.
Anyways, I had also been learning some HTML and CSS stuff from FreeCodeCamp, so I put that into practice on my Neocities site. I made a few shrines, a few site replicas (just with HTML and CSS), and I made a YouTube video talking about what I learned. So I basically copied Andrue through and through. lol
Anyways, my site looks a lot like an old Geocities website like what you would have seen circa 1999. Which is kind of the point. Unfortunately, I don’t remember if I coded anything before this. This website is effectively my first coding project that I ever did. I will note that I made a website in Dreamweaver for school back in 2013, and it was hard! That was my photography, web design, and audio-video sort of class. Shooting videos was way easier than coding a website, I thought.
(Note that I won’t count the easy pages on here as “projects”. For example, the site devlog page, or the GIF collection page.)
