i want to make a neocities so bad but i dont know where to start :(( any advice? i love ur website!!

hiii! thank you im so happy you visited and liked it <3 so like 2 months ago i was in the same spot as you - no idea how to code, but the idea of a personal website thrilled me so much!

i basically spent a few weeks browsing sites on neocities, noting down what delighted me, what i would personally like to have on my own website, etc.

after that i searched furiously for coding tutorials and making a personal website (around this time i was also making a portfolio website, so i had a couple of links saved). here are some

pages github

MDN web docs - like w3schools, but up to date !!!

https://sadgrl.online — a TON of resources 🌟

neocities learn page (HTML, CSS, JS, and lots more! + a cute interactive cat tutorial) 🍰

codetheweb - tutorials

codeacademy — free coding tutorials

freecodecamp — all free coding tutorials

a bunch of resources

i started with neocities' learn page, which has a really quick intro to HTML and CSS. after that, i bookmarked a ton of posts on sadgrl.online's website, because she's super big on neocities and has sooo many helpful beginner tutorials.

after that i basically got an HTML boilerplate from eggramen and just started going from there! you can just directly upload your website files to neocities (make sure your folders are constructed the same way!) once you have an account.

basically tldr: grab a boilerplate HTML template from anywhere, make a neocities account, and start fiddling with it right away! google everything you don't know or don't understand. good luck 💖⚙️

[ ID: A pair of digital drawings of Ema Emo and Jenny Rox from LOL OMG Tweens. They're both drawn waist up while one hand does the "rock on/sign of the horns" hand symbol. Ema is cheerfully winking at the viewer while Jenny is mischievously grinning at the viewer. Ema is drawn on a purple background while Jenny is drawn on a pink background. /. End ID ]

Had the drawing of Ema just chilling in my folder and so I did a little Jenny one to accompany her

[ ID: A digital drawing of Cure Yell from Hugtto! PreCure! She's drawn from the knees up, smiling at the viewer as she waves her pompoms in the air in front of a blue sky with a rainbow. White flower petals surround her and the train to the bow on her skirt extends out into glowing wings. On her skirt is the artist signature "Crystalline." /. End ID ]

[ ID: A sketchy drawing of Shen Woo from The King of Fighters. He's drawn waist up, one hand resting on his hip while the other is rubbing the back of his head, as he looks off in the distance annoyed. He's lightly bruised while blood drips from his head and nose. Next to him is a little speech bubble with a ball of scribbles. He's drawn on a grey background with some details (gold detailing on his shirt, red scratches, blood and purplish bruises) drawn in their respective colors. /. End ID ]

I like him a normal amount :)

i really do hate that if you're an artist you're expected to do something with it or want more out of it in some way. so it's seen as more 'valuable'. they either want you to go off to college or monetize it or both, you're expected to want that, you're expected to have making money as an end goal, you're expected to join the industry, if you like making fanart then you'll be encouraged to veer away from it to make stuff that's more personal and and less 'shallow'. there is no expectation that people want to make art for the sake of making art. it's all the belief that money should be made off of it and the only art that has value Outside of that has to hold some deep intellectual meaning to be considered worthy of respect and I just. Fuck man. Can a guy not be an artist just wanting to draw anime characters with anatomically incorrect angel and devil wings or some shit

Mad with boop power! I felt inspired.

in classic /derogatory) tumblr fashion the boop-o-meter isn't accessible. For screen reader users it just says the numbers, not what they represent. I'll just say in case anyone here uses a screen reader that the thing on top of your feed is the boop-o-meter, the first number is boops given by you, the second is boops received by you and the third is total boops on the platform

[ ID: A drawing of Terry from Fatal Fury, grinning at the viewer. On one hand, he's gesturing the viewer to come closer as he readies a punch. Bits of flame surround him as he stand in front of a dark blue background with a glowing star behind him. The first image has the text "Come on!" written on it, while the second image does not have it. /. End ID ]

Messed around with rendering for this one and really liked how it came out!

Here's a WIP sketch of this I posted earlier
