He just wants to share his art, comics, and characters.
And go make your own Neocities site!!!
Most of Neocities has such an amazing “old internet”-feel to it. I love it a lot. (:
If you have any nice comments about the site, please leave some here. I’ll read any nice stuff out to him this evening.
Much appreciated! Thank you! (:
As a fart connoisseur, I was VERY excited about the (F) Art Gallery lol
As a fart joke enjoyer I really appreciated that one
Lim says: “Welcome, (f)art enjoyers! Don’t do anything to mess up the gallery, please. …if you are able.”
This kid is going places. I feel like I just got transported to 2002.
👍 Need that visitors counter like the good old days
There’s a private view/hit counter on editing page.
Surprisingly, his page already has over 1000 views! Neocities has a little “discovery” hub, so I’m sure random folks may have seen it while sorting through. Makes me happy to know that it’s not just being buried!
Love it!
looks great on mobile! love the under construction page XD
Lim says “Whoa! Slow down, Maurice!”
Thank you! I just learned how to code a month ago. Still some things I need to correct, but I’m super glad to hear that it was worth it!
Please say:
(╭☞´ิ∀´ิ)╭☞
to your kid.
🙃❓️
oh no
This entire exchange was peak comedy, tbh. Thank you!

Those are cute and great! The left-right-L one actually had me chuckle to myself, that’s high praise on the internet.
Lim says: “Thank you! That’s just plain nice. :)”
Might as well tech your kid how to rent a cheap vps, said up cloudpanel, or any other foss panel (copy and paste one command into the terminal) Then they can have multiple cheap websites (around 5-7$ a month total) with wordpress to play around with. (With a panel its easy to add domains like a.yoursite, b.yoursite, so you can test a bunch)
As a kid I spent a lot of time on wix, geocities, webs, etc. Wish I had started self hosting sooner. It unlocks so many more possibilies. Like host your own minecraft server.
He’s still trying figure out if he super-likes coding still enough to invest in it.
I think there’s a tons of people who have been doing it for years who also still trying to figure out if they like it or not lol
Just happy he has more avenues to be creative! Hope other kids and teens can figure out stuff like this.
Im excited for kids that are tech inclined these days, sad that smartphones (having a whole mini computer) set us back rather than making everyone more tech inclined. But anyone that gets into it has so much cool shit to do and learn.
Wordpress is just block site building, i dropped out of coding im not a fan lol, its fr just copying and pasting one command its less complicated than I made it sound and can do a lot more than geocities creativity wise, all these apps these days are one click, mentioned minecraft because a lot of these easy to use panels like yunohost also have one click apps for that.
Think of webhosting rnow as downloading different os like android vs iphone, having appstores that let you one click install different types of webapps. Super simplified if he wants to try more free open source site builders, kinda of stuff I wish ppl showed me as a kid. (idk if it was around tho, most of these panels are newish)
How old before you let him share publicly? You monitor 100%?
This is pretty public, yeah? Even so, he’s monitored 10000%.
He has no interest in social media and doesn’t have a phone yet. He uses my PC & phone to do stuff.
We’ve had many conversations about internet safety, and he’s seen kids his ages exposed on T×ktok, Y×outube, various social media… and he’s just not interested. He’s not allowed to post ANY photos of himself online and has no desire to do it anyway.
He has many other things he likes to do in order to foster creativity. He’s an awesome kid. (:
