I play a lot of solo journaling games (tabletop roleplaying games) and I've started making sites to share my playthroughs :) This is my playthrough of Carved by the Garden.
If anyone else is looking for site ideas, this was a really fun project! Highly encouraged!
I'd love to start a webring if anyone else is doing this.
Multiple down detectors are saying mixed things. I can access my own site, and I can access the login screen on a different browser, but on both Google and Firefox I cannot load anything else (the main page, my site's index/dashboard, ect). Is anyone else having issues?
Neocities only keeps the last 7 days of traffic stats, once my site began getting more regular visitors, it was becoming harder and harder to keep track of progress my over time. I wanted to see long-term growth patterns instead of losing all historical data every week, so I wrote a small script that archives the daily hit/visit counts into a local dataset every time I update my site.
The script itself is pretty simple. Right now it's a part of my deployment script since I already update my website multiple times a day, but I also built a version for anyone to use which can be automated with a cron job to record the stats once every 24 hours. Over time it builds a permanent traffic history instead of relying on Neocities’ temporary dashboard.
Features:
Why I used EMA instead of a regular moving average:
Why I used a logarithmic scale instead of a linear scale:
Still improving it, but I thought other Neocities users might find it interesting.
You can find the scripts on my website's stats page: FrostEcho Stats
Hello. Ive made a small Website for my Portfolio and wanted to link from small picture to a site with the big pictures. And it is working except that neocities keeps switching between my new code (with the links) and my old code (without them). Does anyone know whats causing this? Its not happing lokaly. Also incase anyone want to check it the site is: https://fishforfree.neocities.org/Media
i been coding online since i started my website cuz vscode legit does not work for linking images, but since i recently switched to using a static site generator im forced to adapt to the offline coding ways and boy do they dislike me. using an https link to add images? hell yeah brother, works super well, but trying to link images from your local files?? nope, nuh uh brother. i think i did everything right, background-image: url ("../images/placeholder.jpg"); with the proper filepath used, clicking on the suggested options vscode sends me, im even avoiding using spaces in my image names cuz i feel like the naming system between neocities and vscode might be different, but absolutely nothing shows on my localhost website, while when i've been coding online everything felt fine, i dunno has this happened to anyone?
(edit: when i link to an image in the same folder as my css sheet it works, but when i link to an image in the image folder that's outsite of my css sheet folder it doesnt)

The main content is supposed to be between the two bars, of course. But I think some of my code is messed up. Sorry if it's obvious, I'm a total coding noob -_-
I've just gotten into building my website and ive been doing great so far with html learning resources (w3schools my beloved <3)
but i cant for the life of me figure out how to make these boxes? or how to centre my site so that everything is in the middle
I drew what i mean here for the boxes ^^^
and here's some websites as examples of what i mean
Has anyone ever seen a site that's reached the maximum storage limit?? I'd be very interested in that cuz recently i've been contemplating hosting every single picture i'd be using for my site on file garden. Pros is that it's the storage/bandwith cheatcode, cons is that it make your website less self reliant. However, i've learned that you don't need to save storage, cuz in general website and images included need very little space, so i'd really like to see a site that has challenged this fact to it's maximum and used as much bandwith as they could, tbh even at 500mB i'd consider that a feat
I don't know how on earth to set up another page and make it look the same. I'm new to this and used Sadgrl's layout builder for my start so that I could edit it how I want and learn some coding from there. It just says (I think) to copy and paste that line of text. I did, but nothing happened. The page is completely white. I don't know if I'm missing something or taking something too literal or what. Google isn't helping. Any advice?

My website has a place in the left sidebar when I have written "I'm 22 years old". I know this sounds a bit lazy, but is there a way to code it so the number increases every year at a specific date? My birthday is the 17th of February so I would like it to change to an increase of the number every 17th of February. For instance, next 17th of February it would change automatically from "I'm 22 years old" to "I'm 23 years old".
Right now that information is all inside an <aside id="leftSidebar" style="margin-left: 10px;">, so I don't know if it's even possible.
It's written like this right now:
<h2 style="font-size:15px">Information</h2>
<div class="box">
<p>I created this website on april of 2025!</p>
<p>Some things about me:</p>
<ul style="padding-left: 5px;">
<li>I'm 22 years old</li>
<li>I'm aroace and nonbinary, I use He/they/it pronous</li>
<li>I love to draw and to write, I'm currently writing a book!</li>
<li>I'm autistic and I have ADHD</li> </ul> </div>
My website is https://watchers-archive.neocities.org/ if you want to take a look.
I just needed to find some spaces that were more wholesome. Where one could share and discover art.
Outside of algorithms that prioritize instantly stimulating content. And bottom piles something deeper.
I’m human, I look at whats going on, I look at it too, the more popular platforms and posts.
But, it just gets exhausting. And theres this weird intertwine of whos creating the culture? The people or the maximizing engagement data algorithms?
I mean I get banter and even arguments which lead to an understanding of an art piece.
When it becomes too personal, and unnecessary negativity clouds perception, leads to weaponized judgement.. it becomes impossible to partake in sharing - feedback - discussions and even sassy arguments in a way that’s building awareness.
I have health issues too. So if someone makes an interesting counterpoint, and I know I’m too tired to respond, I fear the last word is the new consensus on how to correctly perceive a piece I made.
Social media is like a bulletin board. Its what people are saying. But no one is questioning the commenter, and from what perspective these comments are coming.
Neocities feels slower, more reflective, even reminiscent of 2000s web.
I just need help finding some neocities that would coincide with my literary, artistic, creative idea, interests?
Are there more specific ways to search?
Anyone have any recommendations? Or other sites?
I really like that independent, diy, handmade, internet is happening in a meaningful way.
And sharing art can actually be wholesome and constructive. When to me, it honestly feels pointless. What I make is like a shelter to me. So its like opening my shelter to vandalism, like when people make a fort in the forest, and people find it, it becomes less fun, and they destroy it.

I apologize in advance for the length.
I understand HTML and CSS will enough, but even though I have a few javascript files running on my site, I don’t really understand how they work.
So I got my image based Desktop/Mobile view toggle “working”, which is - the button on the upper left of the Notifications - the left side is Desktop View and the right side is Mobile View.
It seems to work just fine with the introductory text in my custom font Lumellis switching from Desktop to Mobile and staying that way, but the second bit of Lumellis and the Chattable chat box and Atabook guestbook is stuck on Desktop view and I don’t see why.
The desktop version for the font has every letter individually glowing on mouse over, whereas in the mobile version the entire word glows because not only is it a bit pointless for mobile, the kerning seems to completely mess up and the word isn’t a word anymore but a great, big mess.
The chatbox and guestbook are supposed to have their widths significantly shrink for Mobile view.
I copy pasted the code from the bit that works so I’m not sure what’s going on.
The relevant coding is in index.html, style.css, and browsertoggle.js.
The other problem is that the alt text for the toggle button isn’t showing up at all. Help with that would be appreciated too.
I suppose while I’m at it, I modified Chattable’s “Wannabe XP” theme to match my site including the “winbows-top-bar-thingy.png” (changed to “topbar.png”) but no matter what width I set it to, numbers or 100%, it won’t appear.
Thank you very much :3
Hello Everybody, My name is ShaunFan2012, And I am creating a Website for my youtube channel under the same name, And this is concept layout that I want to go with. (Inspired by the Old SML Website Layout from 2010 to 2011.) If anyone wants to help me with this. let me know. (My Discord username is: wesleya2012.)
Hypothethically, aside from the obvious FUCK NO stuff, like CP, how deep's the extent regarding 18+ contents on a properly 18+ tagged website?
UPDATE: Solved by u/Michi-Ace
>Update: I was able to upload the file after removing the first comment. I don't know exactly what's happening here, but somehow that comment makes Neocities think it's a different file type.
And then they found that the reason why my style.css file was being flagged was because of the word "NOTE" in my first comment. So yeah don't start your style.css file with the word "NOTE" lol
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Had to reupload this post to change the post title, which I felt wasn't specific enough. Sorry.)
Hi, r/neocities. I'm having trouble updating my style.css file. For whatever reason, Neocities flags it as an unsupported filetype despite the fact that .css files are literally on the list for allowed filetypes.
I'm not able to update it through the Neocities file manager, nor am I able to through Github Actions.
Anyone know how to fix this?
GitHub Actions error message:
statusCode: 400, body: '{\n' + ' "result": "error",\n' + ' "error_type": "invalid_file_type",\n' + ' "message": "css/style.css is not an allowed file type for free sites, supporter required"\n' + '}\n',
(Not sure if it's safe to send the whole thing cuz idk if the error log has any sensitive info aside from the API key which I've already redacted)
How can I make a layout similar to what is seen in the visual novel game? I tried to use some layout generators but they didn't help much
I am planning on making the dialogue box (as in the art) and the buttons for the navigation at the top
My main doubt is how would people submit their works? A form to fill in? I suppose I could ask them to just email me with whatever they wanna submit, but maybe there's a better way to do it. Any tips?
Hello, I have been trying to figure out how to code a search bar that finds my blog posts (that I publish on my website) but searching with the tags, so say I write a blog about Dogs I would tag that as #Dogs and so someone who visits my website can look up #Dogs and it takes you to various posts that have that? Or something similar? Does anyone know of anything similar ways to sort?
