Site Manifestos!

Also known as - Site philosophies, "Why I make my site" pages, "what I like about the web" pages, or just about pages; site manifestos are one of the more unique web revival ideas!

A site manifesto is a page that explains why you made your site! For some people that means listing all the evils of social media, for others it simply means saying they enjoy collecting blinkies, for me it was a chance to share some random philosophies

A site manifesto can be long or short, it can be images, or words. It can be a poem, or a list or a story. It's simply a way of expressing why you made your site and what you love about web crafting (many people, actually do this on their about page, and that's a totally valid form of manifesto)

They are a great way of inspiring others and encouraging people to get into web crafting! I hope you’ll share your manifesto here; and if you haven't made one yet, give it a try, it can be a great way to find meaning in your site and your web experience!

If you don't have one and you're unsure where to start maybe ask yourself some of these questions:
Why did I make my site?
What does the web mean to me?
What excites me about web revival-style sites and/or web crafting?
What's my hope for the future of technology?
If I lived in the perfect digital world what would it look like?
What scares me about the web and technology?
What's the ideal web crafting playlist?
How does participating in the web revival scene (MelonLand, iMood, Status Cafe, Neocities etc) affect your life?
If your site was a nice soup, what would be its ingredients??
If your great-grandkids find your site in 100 years, what do you wanna show them about this moment in time?
What is the World Wide Web?

I like the idea. I don’t have a manifesto page yet but might write one when I get the chance to do so. Generally though my reasons boil down to wanting a little control back from social media, a place to share my work, and ultimately as another creative medium to goof off with and have fun.
