I’m Leaving the Small Web and Forging a New Path.
I’ve been reflecting on the direction I want to take my work online. While I’ve appreciated aspects of the Small Web and similar movements - especially their love for personal websites - I’ve found that I no longer feel at home within those spaces.

I never used Facebook etc. but from what I can tell the fediverse social experience is very different from corporate social media. It feels more like the old web.
Like shopping at Walmart vs. shopping at a variety of shops downtown. The difference isn't just an ethical one, the human experience on Mastodon, Pixelfed etc. is richer and more diverse too.

To find that Adopt-A-Censor page with the pandas, I used this search string:
panda site blog rating -antivirus -security -bored -cdramas -ranting -google -reviews -usepanda -windows -search
But hey, I got there in about 5 tries!
Here is the page: https://www.mabsland.com/Adoption.html
Really cool blast from the past for the #OldWeb #IndieWeb #SmallWeb circles.
the 32-bit cafe's second event of 2025 is kicking off in a couple of days! we're creating free templates and themes to share with new website owners in a tea party.
join us if you like to code and/or design!~ we'll be making a directory of layouts and templates to share on the world wide web. :)
I love the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day website. It's OG 90s, complete with HMTL tables. It's probably an accessibility nightmare. But it is web history completely alive and well.
Their RSS feed linked at the bottom of their main page (the one with today's picture) however is not a valid one and does not work. But there's another one listed on the About page: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod.rss This one works.
They have an official bot here in the fedi: @apod@reentry.codl.fr

If you’re not handcrafting your own site in 2025, are you even online? The small web is poppin’—where you at?
Happy Monday!
