neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

I <3 being a queer little freak no one can take that away from me…. It’s woven into every fiber of my being. I will never separate from who I am, my identity is my core. Being queer helps my soul sparkle brighter, helps me love the world more. Anyways I’m being gay on here byeeeeee!!!

My dear, a full moon is coming, any rituals you can recommend for us?? 💘

I love full moons! This is a time every month where we can close out another moon cycle and what's no longer serving us. We can also manifest new possibilities because the moon is in its most powerful phase, and that energy lingers two days before and two days after each full moon.

This is a great time to:

🔮 Charge crystals under the moonlight.

🕯️ Practice some major spell work with candle magic.

🛀 Take a cleansing bath with your favorite salts and oils.

🧘 Meditate under the moonlight.

📜 Set new intentions you wish to manifest.

🚪 Close the door on what's no longer serving you.

💧 Collect moon water by filling up jars or glasses with water and setting them under the moonlight (a windowsill if you don't have jars is preferable, and if you do have jars, you can set them outside with the lids on them so no insects get inside).

✍️ Lastly, write down what you need to release on a piece of paper. Fold the paper away from you, turn counterclockwise, then fold away again. Repeat for a total of three times. You can burn this paper to release the energy, then scatter the ashes outside.

🌕 The full moon heightens our intuition, third eye, and psychic powers. It can also heighten our emotions, so be extra vigilant during this time to avoid alcohol, losing control of your emotions, or making impulsive decisions. Wait it out a couple of days, until the moon's energy has waned.
