how to find fanlisting icons

ive seen fanlisting icons and thought they were cool and wanted to add some to my site in my fandom section to show my favourite characters from each fandom, but im very confused.

i dont know where to find them, ive gone on that one fanlisting site and the ui is very confusing and i am lost, i managed to find the fanlistings but am still confused and each site leads to another site which leads to another site AND THERE ARE NO ICONS IN SIGHT

id prefer to get these icons without having to go through the process of joining a fanlisting but i can join one if necessary, i just need heeelpppp (though i did atleast find a site to make the icons, so i might just have to give up and make them myself)

How to input an image on site

I’m having trouble getting an image to display on my website. This is the specific code

<img scr=“https:filed.catbox.moe/oq2uct.png” alt=“snake”

I’m using to add the image, but when I open the page, the image doesn’t appear. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if there’s something I need to change in the code. There’s no “X” or error message showing, so I’m confused about why the image still won’t load. If anyone knows what might be wrong, I’d really appreciate some help!

Indie Web lover from Italy here, with a lot of questions

Three years ago I started focusing my online activity on preserving old stuff from old websites and magazines. I currently recover early 2000s blog posts, articles and amateur poetry written in Italian and concerning neo paganism, before they completely disappear from the web or the Wayback Machine/Achive.org.

I’m sharing my story here because making connections in Italy has been difficult, if not impossible. Here people seem to be focused only on social media or commercial/industrial web development.

I’d love to ask this community a few questions, but feel free to answer to what you want, not necessarily everything.

  1. Does it make sense to keep my archive sites in my native language? Translating thousands of posts manually is practically impossible, and I avoid using AI-powered translation tools for environmental/ethical reasons. How do you handle local language archives (if your language is not English, of course)?
  2. I know that Indie Web movement has an amazing energy coming from younger generations discovering HTML/CSS for the first time. But I’m also looking to connect with people who were actually there during the late 90s and early 2000s web era. Are there many creators here who experienced that era "live" and focus on digital archaeology/archiving to exchange some information and ideas?
  3. For those who use archive tools like the Wayback Machine to rescue forgotten sites, how do you decide what’s worth saving and bringing back to life? I’d love to exchange ideas with anyone interested in nostalgic web curation and historical site retrieval. Maybe we could also share a list of Indie Web thematic websites and create a sort of repository online to help people who start surfing the Indie Web. If it already exists, I'd be happy to know it and give my contribute.
  4. In your opinion, what is the Indie Web currently missing? Is it a lack of coverage on specific topics, a need for better cross-border/multilingual cohesion between creators from different countries or something else? I’d love to hear your opinion on what we should be building or improving together.

Thank you for reading this wall of text, I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts, ideas and websites!

coding issue with a height of a content container

hello, i may have troubles with putting my issue into words so bare with me (here's my site before making the changes im talking about, perhaps this would help with understanding what i'm tryna do: https://xavier.nekoweb.org/. my site is on nekoweb but the r/neocities is more active, that's why i post here, i hope it's ok)

what i'm trying to do is put a side column + middle content + another side column in one purple box. The middle content's height is put to fit-content, side columns don't have any height attributed.

Idk how to make the purple box that is supposed to contain all of this big enough to do so; when I put the height as fit-content it becomes very small as though it doesn't know it contains the columns and the middle part (pic) ... i can't set the box' height as any specific value, because the main content's height keeps changing

https://preview.redd.it/br5nfoby7bkh1.png?width=1573&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba4f3d02fe7e78284c785bc8add861709fc6bf8b

other pics below show some parts of the code, where the divs kolumny i kolumny2 are supposed to be the purple box, ad1 and ad2 are the columns and the tabcontent is the middle part

any ideas? thank you in advance^^

Can't add mp3 file, how to I make an audio player ?

Hi everyone ! I'm very new to neocities, and i'm trying to create an audio player for a song. I managed to do it in VS studio, using a file i put in my folder :

<audio controls>
<source src="/nirvana.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>

The problem i'm having is that i'm not a supporter on neocities, so i can't add the mp3 file to my folder. Is there a solution ? Ideally something simple that only uses html/css, as i'm new to coding. Also, i've already built a cute layout around the music player, so if it could be something that lets me keep the same music player that i had on vs code, it would be awesome.

Thank you!!

Making a student practice question page with randomized questions more "modular"

Hey folks, I'm a physics teacher and one of the main things I'm developing for my (extremely basic) site is a set of randomizable questions. I'm using buttons to trigger functions in scripts that affect the contents of paragraph elements, all of which are given ids based on the question number (i.e. "question1", "question2", etc.) since every id has to be unique. The functions for randomizing the questions and showing the answers are also similarly named, and so far I've kept everything pertaining to one particular question together in one spot. Here's a link to one of the pages I've made so far so you can see how I've put the code together: Link

The "problem" I have is that if I want to add a new question into the middle of the list somewhere, for example adding a 4th question in between 2 and 3, now my numbered ids are all out of order, which makes the ids harder to keep track of on the page. I understand that there's no inherent problem in having 4 coming before 3 - it's just a name - but the issue is more for keeping track of the question ids I have used when I have a lot of questions on a page (and I guess just wanting them to be in the right order).

I considered having all of the functions in one big script section and in order of their numbers, while the paragraphs and buttons are placed wherever I want them to go. I don't like this because the separation between the html and the scripts makes it harder to see what is what in the file. I've also considered the idea of having the numbers all jumbled up in the code, but with all the related elements kept together in blocks like I have now, and I could track them in the file itself with some kind of comment. I'd just need to update it whenever I added anything new. I don't love that, but that's the best option I've come up with so far.

What I ultimately want is a way to reduce or totally remove my reliance on the naming/numbering that I've created here, but I'm not sure how or even if that would be possible. Ideally, I think it would look like a generic bit of code that's more self-contained so that I could ditch the numbering altogether, but from what I've seen I don't think that's really possible.

If there's any way around this, please let me know! Or if anyone has a better idea for how to implement this kind of thing, I'd love to hear it! It wouldn't surprise me to learn that there's a better way of doing what I'm trying to do. Thanks in advance!

i'm fighting for my life out here.

i'm trying to make a page for my website that's more or less a replica of the nintendo 3ds menu. i've already given up on making the menu thingy actually work like the 3ds and set to do the top header images instead. i cannot for the life of me find a single search result that actually works.

i do not know anything about javascript but considering the header and icon images are in completly separate parent divs the css method is not going to work. i just need a javascript code that can work for multiple images. please.

what i want exactly is when the cursor hovers over the icon image, its respective header would appear on the windowtop class. i can't merge the window classes because each one has it's own styling (window being smaller than windowtop) so that'd mess up my styling

here's an example of the html if it's needed to understand the problem

&lt;div class="windowtop"&gt;

    &lt;div&gt;
        &lt;img src="imageheader"&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;div class="window"&gt;

    &lt;div&gt;
        &lt;img src="imageicon"&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

(also if it's not much to ask, what would i call a menu where when you click on an arrow the top link/image goes behind the first one? with maybe an animation.... i'd like to look that up later but idk how to phrase it in a way that won't make google give me something completly unrelated. thx)

Making my site undiscoverable?

Hi, I am new to neocities but I wonder if there is a way to keep my site online but undiscoverable? I already have robots.txt added.

Basically I want to share my portfolio between a small group or even sharing OC story+references to commission artists but at the same time I want a way to protect my works during this AI scraping era.

How can I add a media/video player?

Hello! I've just started my page and I'd like to have a way to have a video player. There's a cute playlist I listen on youtube that would fit well, so having a little screen (like a small tv? Or even simole) to play it. I'm not good at coding, so setting up cd players or .mp3 options would be alternative options.

Thanks in advance!

image effects...

hello!

i want to make a page displaying some personal projects i am working on. the idea is that there are a bunch of analog horror entities (since that's my concept(ish)) and by hovering on an entity, it has a border around it and text taking you to a particular section (for example, poems, essays, etc.).

ribo.zone has a similar effect on their home page, and a few other sites i can't remember right now, and if anyone could help me, i would be much obliged!

(i did look at their source code but i can't figure it out even after...)

Help - Prevent Container from Wrapping on Mobile

Hello! I am having an issue figuring out how to get a specific container on the "About" page of my website to stop wrapping its text on smaller screens. The container has a "sidebar" column (containing my name and some contact information) and a "main-content" column (containing one image). I'm fine with the margin, padding, and font size of this container as seen on my desktop. However, when I open the page on my phone, I would prefer for the container to adhere to the boundaries/width of the section itself without wrapping.

I don't know what to add to the "mobile responsive" area of my CSS sheet in order for the container to "shrink" on mobile for it to fit, or some other solution to prevent the wrapping. Please help - thank you!
