Continuing to build my new OG static website with some throwback styling inspired by early Geocities days - it's even hosted on a service called Neocities! All the pages are built-out and styled, now I just have to finish writing the content for them. Home page with scrolling marquee text effect at the bottom. I'm a dark mode girly, so of course it's styled with dark backgrounds! It also connects to my digital garden - The Temple of Curious Devotion - where I'll be sharing my ongoing notes on a variety of topics. I've got a LOT of notes to go through there and mark for publishing!

What's your user experience been like so far with Neocities? I've considered several free options to make a landing page/info hub and connect it with my work in Obsidian (including Neocities, mmm.page, carrd.co) but I haven't made a decision yet.

It's super basic. You get an html editor and can create new files and folders, but have to write everything from the ground up to build a page. Very old school. But for what it does - hosting a free static website - it does it well enough. Refreshing my rusty html and css has been fun.

OK, thanks. I don't think Neocities is for me, then. Need a more drag-and-drop option for what I'm doing. Nice work on yours though! I'm seeing more and more people returning to old-school blogging and quirky personal websites, and I'm loving it.
