ready or nuts here i am

Okay, people asked for this, so here’s a zip file containing the following things:

Unzip them to the same folder and open “SAMPLEPAGE.html” in both notepad and your web browser, and it should teach you how to make “classic” style webpages as easily as you make tumblr posts! You don’t even have to fully understand any of it to use it! You can just keep copy/pasting the template file and changing its content to your own to make as many webpages as you like, then upload them to a service like neocities.org or hostgator or dozens of others, though neocities is currently the very best and easiest! With this template you can make your own articles, host your artwork, your webcomics, your stories, photo galleries, whatever you can think of; it’s the same templates @revretch made for me when I didn’t know how to do this stuff myself, and I’ve now used them for years to make my own content such as monster reviews!

This gives you more choices than just posting things to “communities” like wikia or tumblr, but you can also use these all in conjunction too, obviously. I could have started doing articles entirely on tumblr instead of my own website ages ago, but it doesn’t have the same level of personalization, flexibility, or, for that matter, permanence. Tumblr could die someday! Any service can! By making your own html/css pages, you can save them forever and move or re-upload them anywhere you may want to in the future without having to redo any of the code! You can make it look any way you want, control whether there are ads on it, never worry that it’s part of a bigger brand selling your reader’s info or making money off your work that you never see!

Some people of course already know how to do more advanced than all this and will find these files total no-brainers, but everything on social media is now so automated that a lot of people really don’t know these basics and don’t know they can just go out and do this themselves!
