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 :/

@olanet oh yeah, troubleshooting is a good one! (btw if you're stuck with something specific feel free to ask me for help in my guestbook!)

I get so much (automated) spam in my guestbook even though I put the spam filter to high, I might have to switch to a different guestbook solution or disable it completely :(

funnily enough, I saw this and I thought I'd drop by and leave your guestbook a message, but the spam filter blocked me lmao apparently my ISP isn't very appreciated by the maintainers of the widget

@gorciu @floralchai you can kinda "reply" by editing the person's message in the 'review messages' section

Thank you so much for your layout generator!! It's a great starter point for someone like me with minimal starting knowledge, your explanations are lovely and seeing how things change when I touch stuff is my perfect way to learn!

so glad to hear <3

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!!
