What's a question/problem you had when you created your first website that you think should be included in a "how to make your first website" tutorial? :)

but seriously, how to organize stuff into subcategories, where to put subpages, links in dropdown menus, details summary thing, iframes, some javascript shananigans or just plain list of links will do, that was my very first thing to consider

I'm curious how to troubleshoot any issues. I'm having problems where some lines work in my code editor but then I move it to neocities and new errors show up. The code was working when checked on a local host. Maybe there is something I'm missing as a beginner but it's hard to find answers for this online :/

Just wanted to pop over and say hello + thank you. Your layout generator is what finally motivated me to start up a new site. I haven't had one since the mid 00's, and with a full-time job + kid now I'm short on time. Your tool really made my life so much easier and helped me to kickstart my little project, so thank you!!

I feel like webrings is one of the things that makes pages slow. I have my webrings page seperate for like ages and I still measure it time to time because I also put a page load time info on that page, and I usually get from 10 seconds to reaching 3 minutes for 27 webrings (15 widget-based, 12 link-only), and I still getting Lighthouse results on my webring page that it has one of the worst performances on my site.

@jbcarreon123 yeah, scripts like onionring are pretty much the worst thing you can do for perfomance, it irks me so much that so many webrings still use it even though there are several much better options available!!

Hello there Petra! I'm working on a JavaScript library that works around the CSP issues on free accounts by wrapping the Fetch API into an iframe. I'm already planned that it should have compatibility with the Fetch API, but what extra things should I add on it? Thanks!
