@bw@social.lol Congrats, any efforts to lighten the Web and return it to the people are worthwhile. I noticed that the request to https://htmlforpeople.com/assets/js/hero.js is currently serving a redirect loop but thankfully it doesn't seem to affect the site functionality.

@bw@social.lol yay, so happy for your launch!

@bw@social.lol This looks really good! I’ll take a deeper look later and will probably start recommending it to people. :D

@bw@social.lol I am going to use this to update my skills and make abominations, thank you so much <3

@bw@social.lol When a client asks me to build a website that they can maintain, I use basic HTML. IMHO It’s easier to teach them HTML than Wordpress or other CMSs. Years later their sites are still online, updated, and I haven’t heard any complaints. Your book is likely to make my job even easier! 💻️ 👍️ 😁

@bw@social.lol The link doesn't seem to work for me, at least with Firefox.

@jwithy@social.lol 2024-10-10 16:33
@bw@social.lol fwiw I’m getting a couple of different “too many redirects” warnings on iOS Safari and a “too many HTTP redirects” in Firefox & Firefox Focus. I tried your link as well as typing it in directly. Maybe you’re too popular? I can’t wait to check it out!

@jmock@mastodon.social 2024-10-10 16:34
@bw@social.lol The page won’t load for me… I’m getting a too many redirects error :(

@benjamineskola@hachyderm.io 2024-10-10 16:34
@bw@social.lol Hi, I just tried to take a look at this and it seems like the server is in an infinite loop of redirects to the same URL. (Tested with a couple of different browsers as well as curl, so I don't think it's browser-specific.)

@philnelson@xoxo.zone 2024-10-10 16:52

@bw@social.lol Nice! I recently committed to (eventually) coding my own website by hand, and this will be an invaluable resource.

@bw@social.lol this is so cool wtf. how'd you get this idea

@corbden@defcon.social 2024-10-10 17:45
@bw@social.lol Wonderful!! I first learned HTML 3.5 from a Dummies book. I'm a writer now, and to my shock, in 2021 I worked as an SME with a young web dev my client hired. He not know a lick of HTML. I ended up doing some of the web dev work for him, even though my skills are still stuck in 2003. I've found it hard to find good HTML quick-lookup reference materials online now for when I want to just bang out a quick site but forgot an attribute. Awesome of you to teach this skill. HTML is very easy and versatile, and kids can be empowered like I once was.

@jzilversmit88@mastodon.social 2024-10-10 17:51
@bw@social.lol I should buy this book because I was a designer for a short time in 2006 and the internet was still wonky at the time but had improved a lot since then.

@btp@fosstodon.org 2024-10-10 18:12
@bw@social.lol this is super great. Good work.

@mattwilcox@mstdn.social 2024-10-10 18:27
@bw@social.lol That's an excellent introduction to building websites - nice work!
-
@pixelate@tweesecake.social 2024-10-10 18:30
@bw@social.lol Just going through the book now, should pick this kind of thing back up anyway. Oh, you put tags on their own lines? That's cool, I've usually seen them on the same line as the content, but that does seem more organized to put them on their own line.

@bewildergeist@indieweb.social 2024-10-10 18:31
@bw@social.lol What an absolutely lovely ressource! 🏆 Can’t wait to dig in. And teach my son enough English so he can use this to learn HTML 😄 ⚠️ Heads up: In dark mode, the aside boxes with the robot mascot are currently showing white text on a white background.

@bw@social.lol the artstyle is so adorable

@bw@social.lol It’s seldom that I will do every possible interaction with one single toot: boost, favourite, comment, AND bookmark, but here we are.

@Unabart@dobbs.town 2024-10-10 18:36
@bw@social.lol Finally something that might explain Tables better to me.

@pixelate@tweesecake.social 2024-10-10 18:45
@bw@social.lol And the image are described! That's really nice to know what output we should be expecting.

@crocodisle@woof.tech 2024-10-10 18:45
@bw@social.lol This looks really cool! I'll be saving this for later. However, I didn't know these boxes were supposed to have text in them until I highlighted it. Using Firefox 115 on Linux

@bw@social.lol Congrats and thanks! It sounds awesome. I do like so much better simple html pages!! Best wishes

@szulikszarecki@mastodon.online 2024-10-10 19:27
@bw@social.lol Great job! A few things I didn't know and updated my knowledge from 15 years ago. You should consider writing a chapter about static page generators. Then blogging is simpler and the rss generates by itself. :-) although I don't find markdown perfect because it doesn't support tag....
-
@wesruv@tech.lgbt 2024-10-10 19:48
@bw@social.lol This is great work! One thing I noticed, I'm intermittently getting a page without CSS. I checked the console and got: Failed to load resource: net:: ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR I refresh and it's fine 🤷🏼♂️ Keep up the good work :D

@oliphaunt@mstdn.social 2024-10-10 19:50
@bw@social.lol Had a brief look, it's wonderful :) Also, I see what you did with the time on the phone in that picture ;)

@sarajw@front-end.social 2024-10-10 19:50
This is wonderful @bw@social.lol 💜💜💜 Holy quadrilogy of favourite, boost, bookmark, reply. Just great. Thank you for making it!

@bw@social.lol this is really really nice! And I would love to do this with kids. Is there a way this could be translated?

@bw@social.lol neocities... This name reminds me so about geocities nostalgia 😄

@mikkelens@mastodon.gamedev.place 2024-10-10 21:28
@bw@social.lol this is super neat and useful even to people who know how to “code” but haven’t done webhosting before. I will say though, as someone who interacts with new programmers at my university (undergrad) frequently, I might add that there are a few hidden assumptions in some of the first tutorials. It assumes the reader understands what file extensions are, or knows how how to navigate/understand folders. Should index.html be next to or outside the folder? You haven’t specified :c

@shibbles@hachyderm.io 2024-10-10 21:50
@bw@social.lol This is so lovely! It reminds me of all the websites back in the early 00s that taught me how to build websites (no javascript, just step by step HTML). Love this so much! <3
