cool sites
a few of my favourite corners of the small, handmade internet. go wander!
cozy neighbourhoods (places where the handmade web lives)
- Neocities - free hosting for hand-coded sites. browse thousands of them.
- 32-Bit Cafe - a friendly community of people making tiny weird websites.
- MelonLand - a cozy hub, forum and project for the small web.
- Nekoweb - another free host for little personal sites.
- Yesterweb - a community for people who miss the old, personal internet.
wandering around (get a little lost on purpose)
- Cameron's World - a giant collage made out of old GeoCities pages.
- The Old Net - browse the web the way it looked in a given year.
- Wiby - a search engine for old-style, simple websites. it even has a surprise me button.
- Marginalia Search - a search engine that digs up small, independent sites.
- Hampster Dance - the original. dancing hamsters, forever.
goodies and doodads (where to find gifs, buttons and blinkies for your own page)
- GifCities - search through the Internet Archive's old GeoCities gifs.
- blinkies.cafe - type some words and it makes you a blinkie.
- The 88x31 GIF Collection - thousands of little website buttons.
- Hekate's Button Maker - make your very own 88x31 button.
got a site you think i'd like? leave its link in the guestbook. the little buttons and gifs live on the goodies page.
