Walkable Neocities: A website about potatoes, and a thing that is happening now

As of March 2025, escaped web revival big Neocities has implicit 1,000,000 websites. That is 1 cardinal tiny oregon sometimes ample acts of creation. A cardinal radical taking things that are wrong of them and thinking, hey, this would beryllium chill if was extracurricular of maine too, and besides connected mean rather pinkish oregon rather achromatic oregon a spot sparkly oregon with fantabulous menus.

There is overmuch much net present than immoderate 1 idiosyncratic volition ever read, and simultaneously overmuch little net than is needed to adjacent statesman to situation the quanti-dominance of the lumbering, needle proboscis'd mecha Moloch sometimes referred to arsenic the hostile internet. Not each of it is good, but overmuch of it is existent and absorbing oregon tells a communicative astir the idiosyncratic who made it.

The archetypal happening I ever did erstwhile I got escaped entree to a machine arsenic a kid was marque my ain desktop folder. I named it 'my file' and enactment a papers wrong that work "I pity the fool that don't similar my file" and that was it. I retrieve this precise distinctly due to the fact that the operation of ownership and personalisation and palmy manipulation of this almighty and mysterious instrumentality was intoxicating. I inactive pity the fool who would not similar that file, unattuned arsenic they are to the inherent powerfulness that lies successful finalising a integer artefact, ephemerality and insignificance notwithstanding, lasting actually, lifting, propping up the specialness of it all.

My website astir potatoes is simply a leafage I recovered due to the fact that 'potatoes' is the connection I decided to hunt connected Neocities. I cannot cognize this for sure, but I judge it is precise apt to beryllium the archetypal happening made by a kid who has conscionable learned HTML and was justifiably blazing arrogant of this and needed to instantly usage what they'd learned to make a tangible integer object. It has a achromatic inheritance and contains 3 pictures of antithetic varieties of potatoes and 1 representation of crisps. The crisps look astir apt similar Ready Salted to maine though evidently I person nary mode of knowing this.

It contains 3 bits of text. "Potatoes travel successful antithetic colors, shapes, and forms. French fries, hash browns, mashed potatoes, tater tots, baked potato, chips, etc are each antithetic ways potatoes tin beryllium made", reads the first. The 2nd spot of texts lists colours (of potatoes): reddish potatoes, yellowish potatoes, achromatic potatoes

The past spot of text, the almighty 3rd enactment that lends discourse to the remainder of the story, reads: "To larn much HTML/CSS, cheque retired these tutorials!", with a nexus to Neocities ain tutorials, successful which a feline named Penelope teaches basal coding. This not lone scans but feels joyfully inevitable. The creator of My Website About Potatoes has discovered thing precise cool, and they privation to stock it with everyone and anyone. Over 10,000 radical person viewed this page. I similar to deliberation that each of them appreciates potatoes somewhat much now.

The coda to my idiosyncratic communicative earlier is, obviously, that it was ne'er my record to statesman with, piteous fool that I am. We ain little and little now. I constitute each time and ain nary of it. The words cease to go my spot instantly aft they are published, not adjacent successful a chill decease of the writer way, conscionable that a institution virtually owns immoderate words I people connected this website and mostly immoderate different website. I don't ain the Google docs oregon the retention abstraction I rent to store those docs, either.

However, I volition not beryllium told that the proprietor of My Website About Potatoes does not own the fuck retired of My Website About Potatoes.

I consciousness a almighty compulsion to excavate much Neocities pages, truthful I'm making a file retired of it. More adjacent week. I volition astir apt effort and find thing that is applicable to videogames, though possibly not.
