POLL: How many personal sites have you built?

[xXWebMasterXx_Gina]

You could create 5 or 6 websites.. or just one!    I've technically created a few "sites" prior to Melvin's World! but these were all just offline files I used to experiment with HTML and CSS before I made the big step to going live.

My ethic is that a personal website is dynamic and grows with the webmaster. If I have a new idea that's completely different from the rest of the site; I just toss it in somewhere and create a sort of labyrinth that rewards exploration. If I don't like something, I could rework it, bury the page (no direct link to it), or just delete the page itself. But make a new site completely? Not a fan of the idea. Still, Never say never y'know? I've only been a formal webmaster for 3ish years.

Here's a brain teaser for ya: What if I renamed my site? Or, what if I changed my host from Neocities to something else? Is it still the same site?

just the one so far, though i do intend on making a portfolio site for showing to people in real life! :3

only one, my neocities account.. unless you count making websites for school? but yea i didn't start making that site until 2022, when i tried to start my first blog which only has like 5 entries (though its still up on the current neocities site i think) then i started using it for my comic since i was inspired to start the comic thing on usenet which doesnt let me upload pictures, then i joined a webring which pushed me into the actual web creation thing more and now im here

also heres one of the things i made for school :) (had to bitcrush it bc phone images are megabytes)

Counting only the ones I've had go live? About three. Two of them were a single domain that I launched in 2009 as a young college student, coded with HTML and CSS basically as my main art site. I revamped its design completely enough in 2011 to count it as a new site, as I got better at coding. It's not live anymore, thankfully.

The third site is still available at quantumtrinket.neocities.org, but I've completely set it on ice since 2022, so for now all you'll see is an ACCESS DENIED page I made. Before then, I intended to make that space for any stories I made for the OCTs I was a part of at the time (OCT = Original Character Tournament, a competition where you competitively write stories of your characters pitted against others' characters for an in-universe grand prize or goal). Though the front page isn't there anymore, technically there's a section I still have on that site. I coded all the pages, myself, credited as QuantumTrinket which is an alt pen name of mine (warning, the character pages are heavy on the CSS, I was very inspired by the likes of Heckscaper.com's character pages and IIII tried to emulate their style kinda badly).

Counting any sites that didn't go live/have yet to? I've made 4 sites. The one that currently isn't live is a personal creative site I'm hoping to spruce up and push out as my main web presence. It's partly done so far as life stuff ended up happening and, like with my QuantumTrinket site, I've had to put it on ice for a while. With things stabalising now, I'm hoping to start picking at it again so I have someplace to put all the stuff I'm making.
