Who has a great about page for their personal website? I’m updating the content on andrewwoods.net, my personal website. My goal is to write an about page that would appeal to an employer, as well as a new friend.

What would you like to know about me?

My current about page url is https://andrewwoods.net/web-developer/ I named the page ‘web-developer' because the name `/about` was determined to be bad by an SEO tool.

Ok, people, give me your blogs.
Your personal hobby blogs. Your e-zines. Your websites. Heck, even your wikis. (I am interested in those but have not yet wrapped my head around them.)
I am most interested in the hobby sites, made my non-professional web devs. The ones you code away at in your spare time. Preferably static, but share anyway if it's not. And if you're a pro and have a personal hobby site, share away too! The more the merrier.

Even if I already know your site, share anyway because there might be people who do not have come across it yet.

3, 2, 1, go!

@brennan thanks! :D
it's been really encouraging seeing developers who normally don't work with anything beyond CSS/HTML dig into PHP and learn how to modify the heck out of their sites.

i never see a ton of homepage pride from most ssg projects. but kiki admins are *really* proud of their personalized sites :)

@brennan thanks for the writeup. i can't pretend to understand all of the subtleties, but it was helpful understanding why people preferred 11ty to other ssg's.

the part that 11ty and the rest, imo, haven't solved are the source trees. they're *massive*. big, complex and difficult to understand projects.

the dependency and complexity angles are exactly why i built kiki - i wanted a generator that could generate *both* static sites and dynamic sites, without being a massive database-driven cms.

and all done in under 100kb of code that's 50% comments. i wish developers pushed for simplicity instead of trying to build tools that are everything for everyone.

I like this idea and will probably implement some of them...

There are a few nicer feelings than being emailed by someone whose blog you read that tells you that they read your blog as well. I love the #indieweb.

@eclecticpassions

I'm so unbelievably addicted to the #Indieweb / #smallweb.

To feed my addiction, I have found yet another search machine that finds non-commercial sites. Send help! https://marginalia-search.com/explore

I had the privilege of penning an article for the latest issue of Good Internet Magazine!

It is all about the process of making and experiencing art and how friction and inefficiency needn’t be dirty procurances to avoid and evade.

If you enjoy this article, you might consider picking up the physical print copy of the magazine, which you can buy on the site. A proper palpable paper printing of passionate prose for your pleasant perusal.

> "Many personal website owners
deliberately choose inefficient methods
for updating their sites. They write
HTML by hand, upload files directly
via FTP, or maintain static sites that
require manual intervention for even
simple changes. These choices would
be considered backwards in a
professional context, but they serve
important psychological and creative
functions"
