also while i’m on the train. hi. if you have a rentry or a carrd or whatever, consider neocities. it’s so awesome. html is hard and time-consuming for you in comparison to the ease of a rentry? no problem + understandable, i know how it can be + i’ve got you covered
check out sadgrls layout builder and all her other resources for the layout of the page [it looks good on mobile too, and everything within the code is labelled, so you know exactly where each element is], and html-online to convert rich text to html text, or alternatively markdowntohtml to convert markdown [what rentry uses] to html. just copy-paste the converted text into the relevant place in the layout code, and boom. you’re pretty much done aside from however much customization you want to do or not do. you can literally just stop there if you so choose
i promise you it doesn’t need to look perfect like all the sites on the homepage. it doesn’t matter, you can edit that shit little by little whenever you want. you can learn html in tiny little pieces so it becomes a little easier to edit your site over time, if you want. but crucially, you own that site. you can freely download and use that site and everything on it however you want. wanna self host it later? go ahead! it’s YOURS. it helps promote a more independent internet AND you get to have fun. make a neocites now
i mean hell you can even make it look just like a rentry. plain colored background + center the text and it looks very similar and simple/clean. also webrings are so fun if you’ve got friends who also have a neocities, you can all basically link your accounts together with arrows and have it loop around to all of your different sites
