question and answer and question and
this page is for asking and answering questions! add your answer to the answer section, and then add at least one question that the question(s) you answered made you think of or that you just think would be interesting to get answers to. if your question is a response to a previous question, put it in a nested details element; if it isn't, make a new top-level details element!
what is the point of your website?
mostly, the point of my website is just for me to have fun making it!
The point of my site is to be an archive of the NatM franchise, serving as a fan site and collection of official and fanmade stuff!
The point of my website is to house my projects, inspire others, and just generally be my "home" on the web.
does a website need to have a point?
i don't think it needs to have one, but instead think that they all have one even if the point is just 'for fun' or 'to make something for the sake of making it' or something along those lines.
Not always, no. Websites are usually created for a reason, but that reason doesn't have to be one that makes sense. Like some of the sites on The Useless Web, they're works of art that are taken out of their original context, or are made to be useless on purpose, like Endless Horse.
I don't think so! It can just be a creative endeavor that exists for the sake of itself.
the only truly pointless websites are the ones that are just text generated by an AI to win the SEO race. well they have been made with a goal in mind but they're just a waste of digital space
what's your favorite thing to look at on other people's websites?
I like to look at the actual structure of them! Where they decide to put their navigation, how they make the code do what they want, and how they make images go in certain positions/areas. People can get really creative!
I love reading people's blogs and seeing what they're into. Anything that's outside of the usual blog/about/links/graphics usually catches my eye, because I like to see how people stry outside of the usual formula.
unusual and/or gimmicky stuff. a fridge page, a button that squeaks, stickers to decorate the homepage, a hidden shrine, anything like that. I love what people come up with! (but I have to be honest, if I see a buttons/pixel cliques/graphics page that's the first thing I'm clicking. those are like digital knick knacks shelves)
what's a film that you love, AND feel OK with showing a small child?
I love fantastic mr fox. It feels os good to watch, the music is great, its funny, its just an all around great movie. And all the food in it is soooo mmmmm
The Wallace & Grommit films are funny, entertaining, and lovely works of claymation art. I've loved them since I was a kid myself.
Luca :). the story is nothing new but it's well executed, the kids are adorable, and the setting and atmosphere are wonderful... it made me want to visit Liguria
what are your limits to what is child appropriate (not just small children)?
I'm not sure myself. I think nobody would bat an eye if a family watched the comedy Bianco Rosso e Verdone together here, but it has a fully naked prostitute trying to seduce a man in it...
Whats something you love about where you currently live.
I was thinking something about the city/neighborhood/area, but feel free to talk about your actual home if you want!
I love that I can hear birds every morning if i'm early enough. It feels very romantic
I love the food! I'm in the Southern part of my country where the borders meet, and there's a great melding of different food cultures present.
the sea, the rocks, the crabs. it's not the best seashore ever, but I love that it's there and that I can always go there
I like how close everything is. Supermarkets, malls, schools, parks, all that stuff. And there's also a river nearby :)
what's something that's missing instead? what you wish was there?
a pleasure wheel! there's a really good spot for it! but I bet that if it was build the ticket would cost too much...
How did you find out about the IndieWeb/SmallWeb/Personal Web movement?
I had actually been thinking about getting back into website making because I was getting tired of social media. Then I found out about Neocities, and realized I wasn't the only one!
What weird superpower do you want?
I'd love to be able to eat anything organic without getting ill. leaves, spoiled food, random half-drunk bottles on the street... and any body of water would be potable
I think we all dislike social media in one way or another here, but is there something that you DO like about it?
I like like buttons. NOT like counters, I just think it's a nice inobtrusive way to tell someone you saw and enjoyed their stuff even if you really have nothing to say about it. there are some indie web alternatives but they're not the easiest to implement. I'm also addicted to tumblr (unfortunate) and I think reblogs are wonderful to share things, but that wouldn't really work outside socials would it
