owning a website in 2020:
- build it yourself. be cheap. be low-tech.
- use semantic html.
- use minimal css.
- make your content portable. what’s yours is yours. write in markdown & use a generator. don’t mix content & formatting.
- don’t use (more than a little) javascript.
- respect your visitors and they’ll respect you.
- POSSE.
- individuals > corporations. be IndieWeb. be distributed.
I tried to follow these as best as I could on my site. I’ll try to write up more on how I did it sometime.
