“Freedom always has a price.”

TWIRLS AROUND AND SPINS AROUND I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD GIVE IT A SHOT!!! i was scared because i have dyscalculia and i hate math so muchly but html and css turned out to be such a fun and engaging thing!! every little success has me jumping ten feet in the air and every difficult thing is more easily searchable and solvable than any thing i have ever tried to learn... w3schools i love w3schools for ever

im taking the opportunity to link some resources i personally like and used and HOW i used them becayse it can all be dauntingg here we goo

neocities starts you off with a very basic little interactive tutorial that gives you the first few things you need to build, which is really nice! dont skip it if youre a beginner >:)

w3schools html and css tutorials (im not touching javascript sorry javascript): truly very very good. everything and everything is in here. take it slow and do all the exercises even if they seem basic and silly. i went until i felt confident and from there i would only come back when i needed something specific. you dont have to do it all at once! the rest of the resources on here are only supplementary to this one!!

a lot of sadgrl's resources are missing now but there're still useful tidbits in there!

petrapixel has a bunch of beginner resources too!

css diner is my favourite practice thingy for css selectors specifically. good training!!

USING F12 TO INSPECT YOUR PAGE!!! its so useful for identifying the bits that arent working - theyll show errors and stuff.

there are lots of free templates out there too, but i think its good to learn about whats going on in there in at least a basic way and then going for a template if you wanna! i really like this layout tool since it's really modular and you still have to do all the designing >:D

if any tool here looks daunting it's best saved for later! dont go diving in the deep end. you can get away with using very simple starter stuff and still end up with a page!

OH ALSO A HUGE ONE! instead of notepad or notepad++ or the neocities editor page i use a thingy called pulsar. its kind of like if notepad++ was super cool and strong and also had a file directory so you can look at your whole project at once with the coding all pretty and nice. makes it so much less of a stress and it does a lot of really nice quality of life tinythings for ya like automatically closing brackets and stuff.

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
