If you wanna do it the old way you can make both columns float left, then set a fixed width for each (you can also do a % width for dynamic sizing)

Scream/Lol, why would you want to do it the old way haha! 

Like going for a run with a weight vest :joy:

fLaMEd has a good list! if its a fansite for something like a video game or movie it'd be a bit different. i imagine you could have different galleries of images, such as one for promotional images and one for images during development/production (if you can even find those!)

Yeah 100%

A game fan site I would have character info, release dates, launch trailers, gameplay trailers, maps, walk-throughs, Easter eggs, cheat codes. 

For development/production images, lots of collectors editions of games would include an art book or a dvd with this type of material. 

I have so many tabs in a browser window open about fanlistings. I'm not sure what I will do about it, but I want to do something!

How might I set a single font standardising all forum posts, despite the authors' font choice?

Some fonts that I cannot read are being used, so I would prefer to be able to set a single font family, font-size and enjoy reading the forum.

I've been thinking about this recently; here is my list:

- Homepage
Should describe the site:
-- Who it's about
-- what you can find within the pages.
-- You can also include a news feed to provide headlines or links to news articles.

About
-- Biography
-- Trivia
-- Quotes

Discography
should include links, descriptions, and info on all of their projects, e.g.
-- Albums
-- Movies
-- Books

Photo Gallery
Include photos from official appearances, magazines, photoshoots, and events. Never include paparazzi photos.

Media
Links to various forms of media:
-- Music videos
-- Movie trailers
-- Podcast appearances etc.

Online
-- Links to official websites, IMDb, Spotify, YouTube, socials etc.
-- Links to around the web, other fan sites, and your affiliate fansites

About
-- Info about your website
-- Credits to sources
-- Thanks to the fansite subject for being awesome to inspire the website etc.

This list should be an excellent basis to get you started.

Yes. 11ty which uses NodeJS. Everything is built locally so everything that is pushed to my host is HTML & CSS...

when the font size is too small

yeah this kills me ><

One thing I've been thinking about lately is the concept of 'xanga blogs' and by that, I mean just a blog where you write whatever you're thinking about/feeling/doing/or whatever. I loved browsing Xanga because I'd just end up on someone's blog and have this window directly into their life.

Wasn't into Xanga blogs, but what you're describing reminds me of sites that we used to have hosted on subdomains of others and sometimes oriented around loose themes.

These would be places where individuals would post the day to day stuff going on, much like what twitter was, except on your own (sub)domain and no character limitations.

layouts were changed often, and everyone linked each other and sometimes guest posted on each others.

We used scripts like phpnews, blooger (before it was what it turned into) moveabletype, greymatter etc!

could be a fun project to spin something up like this again. was a great place to create pages and post under a pseudonym!

I definitely agree with the overuse of graphics and non semantic HTML.
Trying to do something in the most complicated way possible.
Crazy backgrounds with crazy text so that you can't read it.
Pages with no content. The same content.

I whole heatedly believe that it's possible to create a personal space on the web without making it an un-accessible nightmare.

HTML/CSS has come a long way over the 30 years or so that it's been in use.

Blogs originated from the term web log, which was most definitely an online diary that most people shared publicly, but usually anonymously.

This is why blogs, in my mind will always refer to personal diary type pages.

It wasn’t until mid 2000s/2010s and monetisation that we saw blogs become what they are today.

Which is sad in a way.

This is on my ever growing to-do list

everyone had a website, but now this niche is so small

I wonder if the niche is smaller these days or similar size… There is definitely billions more people using the internet than there were 20 years ago.

Many people across the net are making websites in their own little pockets, neocities is just a small part of that, very popular with a young crowd.

> this forum is for those interested in making 2D/3D virtual worlds

hehe whoops.

For what it's worth, I do not miss VHS tapes! I love the super silly definition media we are spoilt with today!

welcome, nice to see you here.

At first glance (on iPad) looking okay! Will let you know
