MOST WEB-PAGES SUCCCCCCK !!! let's make a bunch of good ones !!!

I propose we spend a weekend having fun with HTML and CSS, making little websites about whatever we want.

I'd also like to connect them together somehow. Either host them all in one place--like a gallery of pages. Or make something like a webring to conect them together in a chain.

NB: The date has change to avoid clashing with the Potluck Party event!

What to put on webpage ???

Make a page for:

  • all the pets you've had
  • trees near your house
  • a GT game you like
  • a zine
  • to show-off your games
  • weird effects you figured out how to do with CSS
  • politicians you hate
  • a hypertext/media, Twine-like story thing

How to make webpage ???

All you need is:

  • A text editor to write the stuff.
  • A web browser to test it out.

If you don't want to write it by hand there are free WYSIWYG editors (Blue Griffon is the first that comes to mind), and you can (usually) even use whatever word processor you have installed.

http://bluegriffon.org/#download

There are a gazillion tutorials online, but please suggest good ones in the comments.

I'll come hang out in the discord during the event to answer questions too :)

Where to put my web page ???

Neocities! It's free! -> https://neocities.org/

Feel free to suggest similar free places in the comments :)

You may like to break the rules, some suggestions are:

  • Make a Gopher Hole instead
  • Start some other kind of Internet-based thing
  • Make a fancy TXT file and stick that up somewhere
  • VRML???
  • Destroy Facebook

I'm interested. My weekend

I'm interested. My weekend is rather full, but I'm going to try and put up something anyway. If I don't succeed by Sunday, I'm still going to submit something within the week.

Yep!

Gonna see what I can do on Neocities. They have a pretty great mission, and this event dovetails with it quite nicely...!

This is scheduled awfully close to Potluck Party but I might be able to do something!

Oh shit, didn't notice that. Websites would actually fit perfectly into that event, even.

I'll move it to another time.

Oh my gosh I assumed there'd been more "official" event time for making a site... Well anyways, I've been wanting to remake my own website and this would be a good cause!

I'm gunna reschedule it so it doesn't clash with Potluck Party, so I'll stretch it out to a week, ending on a Sunday.

I'm checking out this Blue

I'm checking out this Blue Griffon business. I tried making a website tonight and ran into problems, but I know how I want to approach it when I do it on a new day. I think I needed to check the box that says "Make URL relative to page location"
These resources are not recommended, I'm just keeping track of the ones I'm using:
Video tutorials for Blue Griffon:

Yeah, keeping URLs relative

Yeah, keeping URLs relative will make it easier to test things, otherwise they won't work unless it's uploaded onto a server.

I just found out that Firefox blocks automatic audio on webpages from playing by default. How many sounds have I missed out on I now wonder.

neocities

I was really excited about this because I have been wanting to learn HTML for a while now.
After general video watching of HTML and CSS I have gotten a tumblr style website where I can pretty much make a line of pics, text, etc.
I still haven't figured out how to make the pics post if I use them from my computer like everything says to do.
Now that I can do basic stuff the next goal is to learn how to design a site and have more than a line of stuff.
So far: https://cm0nster.neocities.org/
I used a text editor named visual studio code.

Oooo well done ! You can

Oooo well done !

You can upload the pics from your computer to Neocities... I think by drag-and-droping them into the screen which has the files. You might also want to make an images folder on there so it doesn't get cluttered.

Here's a wee tip: you don't have to put each separate CSS rule inside a seperate 'style' element, you can put them all inside one. So like:

(style)
        img {
   display: block;
   margin-left: auto;
   margin-right: auto;
   width: 40%;
}

    iframe {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
display:block;
}

    a {
text-align: center;
display:block;
}

    figcaption {
      background-color: #222;
      color: #fff;
      font: italic smaller sans-serif;
      padding: 3px;
      text-align: center;
  }

figure {
    border: thin #c0c0c0 solid;
    display: flex;
    flex-flow: column;
    padding: 5px;
    max-width: 1000px;
    margin: auto;
}

    h1 {Color: #8B008B; text-align: center; font-size: 80px; }
(/style)

(NB: I had to the angle brackets with regular ones 'cause they don't show up)

Also I really want that snake costume D:

A cool thing about websites

A cool thing about websites though is that browsers are really forgiving, so just use whatever works and makes sense for you!

Style

Thank you thank you. What happened was I thought I could put everything in one style section but my iframe would not center and it was driving me crazy and then I randomly gave it it's own style section and it worked so I just did that for everything. Now I think I probably just had something incorrect in there and fixed it somehow when I moved it. It gets messy in there real fast.
I'm going to try it with one style again and see what happens.

I want o e too!!!

Update on wedsite.

I also have been making a webpage but recently video game stuff (including Knytt Stories!) got in my way so it will probably be a while.

But anyway, if you like extensive and extremely overdetailed analyses of the tiles in top-down grid-based puzzle games (like https://wiki.bitbusters.club ) this would be exactly that.
