One of our members, @shannonkay.com, created a whole guide to making your very first website for her daughter. Turns out it can help all kinds of newbies with no experience get started in #webdev! Check out Shannon's Make Your Own Website step-by-step tutorial on how to make your first site:
Make Your Own Website
This guide helps beginners get started making their first website with HTML/CSS. I originally wrote this for my daughter, then 12 years old, so she could make a website for a school project.

One way you can #fightback is by taking back the web. Don't let yourself be silenced in a sea of bots, trolls, or stuck in a doomscrolling loop. Constant scrolling is an easy way to control you. Create a website. Take your opinions there to widen your reach. Connect again w/the humanity of the web.
There's so much internet out there--there's more than just a few social media apps! Checking out all the Neocities, Nekoweb, and Indieweb websites out there on Bluesky, and there's so many new ones! Welcome to the fun side of the web, controlled by you!
Working on building my website. By which I mean looking at everyones really cool neocities and going wowwwww
One of our members, ajazz, created a whole interactive guide to escaping the corporate social media machine: Unplatform. This is a great way to get introduced to the indieweb & the small web, if you've ever heard of it but not sure where to go from here. It's a fantastic read and full of resources.

For over a year, our community has been maintaining a MASSIVE resources list for everything related to having your own personal website. It's aimed at folks who are new to this with low-cost or free options. It's a lot, but it's not meant to overwhelm you! It's meant to inspire things in you! <3

Make a personal website. It can be really simple! Do it for free at neocities.org! But have one of your very own that no one else controls. And start a newsletter. Make sure the service allows you to export and move your subscribers. Okay, now you have some independence and options.
Lincoln Michel@thelincoln.bsky.social · 2y agoRegardless of the issues w/ the TikTok ban, these kind of takes are strange to me. Do people not realize these apps are constantly dying (Friendster, Orkut) or withering away (Tumblr, MySpace) or "pivoting" in ways that crash industries (Facebook, Twitter)? You cannot ever trust them.
Our New Year's event has officially concluded, and you can view all submissions here! We had 42 submissions for this year's event. Thank you for your efforts, energy, and submissions! Our next event will be in February. You can stay updated by following our forum (w/RSS!): discourse.32bit.cafe.

If you're getting set up for the first time on Neocities and not sure where to start with your personal website design, consider using 32-Bit Cafe member Varve's layout builder! This super-customizable, small web-made tool is an awesome one to have in your toolbox as you get started.
layout builder
build yourself a web page layout with a bunch of options

If you're at this stage: Just get on neocities.org and get started, even if you don't know jack shit about HTML. I promise it'll come to you over time; just write SOMETHING on a page and iterate from there. And browse others' sites! Some folks are doing wild things within the limitations there.
Neocities
Create and surf awesome websites for free.

Officially updated our DNS so we are @32bit.cafe! :) Thanks for the suggestion, everyone!
I don’t think people understand how devastating the end of net neutrality, and consumer protections around internet connectivity, are going to be. Imagine the situation where you pay for 4 or 5 different streaming services, each with different “exclusives” — but for the Internet itself.

32-Bit Cafe@32bit.cafe · 2y agoWe call our side of the web many names: the indie web, the personal web, the small web. No matter the name, it's all for the same purpose: using web development as an accessible art form to express ourselves truly. It's a worthy cause! <3 We want full control over our digital experience! 32bit.cafe
Hi bsky! We're a collective of people from all walks of life who became #webdev hobbyists. Our community supports each other carving out our own side of the internet & trying to make the web fun again. :) A lot of us learned how to make our own website to branch out of Big Tech & we'd love to help.
