DEV Community: OldBlueBen

>= 1 Site/Day for a week

The title is my goal. I started yesterday.
Today's site so far is at https://earlydays.droppages.net/
I would dearly love any feedback, suggestions, comments, etc.
Even really truly very snarky and crude feedback could be good.

"Positive or negative attention... is seen as success." - Michael Franti as Disposable Heroes of Hiphopracy, before Spearhead, before his new fame as a solo artist, back when he was raw and brilliant. ;P

5 tips for the site-making initiated on the path:

1) don't put www. in front of neocities.org

2) Site44 has the best per site pricing I have found, as well as a 30-day trial

3) Good free trials currently also on Dropbox and Droppages

4) Using Dropbox -> Site44, (& maybe others) if you save your index file as html, it will MERGE with the former index.html rather than replacing it.

5) Dropbox -> Forge seems broken

DEV setup - Moble Notifications, Extensions?

I haven't been asked for my phone number, but I would like to receive texts when and if someone comments on a post of mine or mentions me or my project somewhere. Hmm... maybe it's still in the works. Also, the Extensions button seems inactive.

And then there was that guy who showed up needing help with his project on GitHub. You remember. He was setting up his site where authors could create free pages for their books. What was the name of his .org again? BookBubble. That was it.
