The Gang™

All they know about gay panic is the “Oh my gosh! I talked to a pretty girl/boy and I’m a girl/boy hehe so flustered” that at some point replaced the actual meaning of gay panic. Do you know how dangerous this is, that they don’t know of the dangers of trans and gay panic? It’s lethal.

When making a personal website for the first time, you may ask yourself this!

The answer is: fucking anything. Personal websites don’t have to be “presentable” if they’re not tied to your IRL identity or whatever. Look at old captures of geocities, tripod, angelfire sites. You had dedicated single-topic sites, sure, but you also had sites that were arbitrary, slapdash little hoards of the website owner’s Favorite Things, no matter how unrelated they were.

Some suggestions:

links to your 3 favorite other websites.

an essay about how cool hydraulic engines are

a sanctuary for all your favorite images, such as memes, that you’ve collected over the years

facts about centipedes you think everyone should know

competitive hardcore sims 2 speedrunning strategies

a portfolio of your artwork, or links to other people’s artwork you enjoy

elaborate lies and hoaxes (maybe even a whole arg)

useful survival tips specific to where you come from (personal recipes, trustworthy doctors, good music venues, eats that are both good and affordable, hot goss on who’s up to what horseshit on your city council/school board/university faculty/whatever)

original fiction that noone on social media cares about because people only like and reblog about what they already know. explain your entire fictional country that you wanna put in a real novel one day.

making people not have to dig through your tags to know where to find all your dracula meta (including the shipping manifesto you wrote 10 years ago)

speaking of fandom, you know that one piece of media you love that nobody else seems to have heard of? you post into the void and nobody reblogs or likes? nothing in the tags? Yea. Built a shrine to that explaining why EVERYONE should care about it. tell me how that pirated copy of Telefang made you the human being you are today

explaining your personal philosophies on life without worrying that you will get reblogged by randos calling you cringe

Are you pumped at the idea of making a website from the words above but don’t know how to make one?

For absolute beginners that have no money, Blue Griffon has a free GUI HTML editor which can be much less intimidating than going pure HTML. But if you’re comfortable coding it without a visual interface I personally like Brackets best. (it’s got color and image previews and tag autofill/suggestion that makes scripting faster) But if you have money to spend, PineGrow is the best option I’ve found for a professional-grade GUI website editor and they have one time license purchases. If you’ve done any customizing of the CSS for Tumblr, there’s going to be a lot you’ll find familiar.

Don’t know where to start? I’d suggest a template but this one is more difficult. Back In My Day™, you used to be able to find website templates all over the place, now they’re almost impossible to find ones that are simple to use for beginners but this site is still alive and has free-to-use basic HTML templates and website graphics to give you an idea of what you’re looking at vs the code used to make it show. Some more advanced templates that aren’t on a dubious website can be found here. Or just steal code from other people’s websites. I’m serious! Most of what I learned was from opening up the View Source on a website and copying the CSS scripts to pull it apart. (now if it’s PHP, ASP, CGI or anything like that, you’re not going to see it, just HTML, CSS, and some JS.)

As far as where to put your site, Neocities is the clear choice for any beginner. They only allow HTML hosting so you’re not going to be able to use anything that requires a database or advanced languages but if you’re cutting your teeth, you risk nothing by starting a free account there. (and it allows sexually explicit content as well, just make sure your account is marked correctly) But if you want something more robust than that, you’re going to have to pay for it. You’ve probably head of places like Dreamhost, Bluehost, and HostGator, but I’m going to point out AMS Hosting because they got this 2.50 USD a month deal that includes Email and hosting multiple websites and that is unheard of at that price. And if the site you’re building fits the requirements listed you may be able to get free hosting from here. But that does mean you’ll need to get a Domain Name (NameCheap is pretty good) or a free subdomain if you’re feeling adventurous.

For example, I think Codecademy’s tutorials are pretty good for people who’ve never tried coding before since they’re very learn-by-doing. You can type along in the browser and immediately see what happens when you change your code. Here’s one where you learn basic HTML

Please, please help The Innocence Project save her. It's disgusting that so many people want to profit off her life but don't care enough to preserve her life.
