capjamesg[d] There was a leak on Google's GitHub this week of parts of the factors used in their ranking algorithm. Search Engine Land points out something interesting in https://searchengineland.com/google-search-document-leak-ranking-442617
# capjamesg[d] > **Small sites.** Another feature is smallPersonalSite – for a small personal site or blog. King speculated that Google could boost or demote such sites via a Twiddler. However, that remains an open question. Again, we don’t know for certain how much these features are weighted.

# paperbritt Hey folks, I'm new here. Long time user of the web and once maker of a Geocities page that is lost to the ages. I made a goal for myself this year: to enjoy being on the web again.
# paperbritt I'm an artist and designer, making mostly comics and paper craft activity kits and sometimes websites.
# IWDiscord <paperbritt>
# paperbritt So I've been hunting down interesting homepages and adding to my RSS reader, and feel much happier as a result. I'm now in the process of making my own website a bit more indieweb friendly and a bit more active, not just a place I post finished things and forget.

# capjamesg[d] Welcome to the indie web, paperbritt[d]!
# capjamesg[d] Do you have a website online, or is it a work in progress?
# paperbritt This is me: https://britthub.co.uk/
# paperbritt Its mostly existed as a portfolio, little shop and oddly static wordpress site for some time. I'm going to try and get back into the habit of actually blogging.
# IWDiscord <paperbritt>
# capjamesg[d] I love the design of your website. It is really readable.
# capjamesg[d] And I like your comic about anxiety. I have found comics about mental health helpful in the past.

# cophee paperbritt[d]: Hey!!!!
# cophee Welcome 😄
# paperbritt capjamesg[d]: Thanks, I do a lot of image based work so wanted the design to be simple but still fun. I spend a lot of time thinking about colour combinations.
# paperbritt Updating more often is also an incentive for me to draw more short comics. I'm almost 6 months into a year of trying to remember how to enjoy creating stuff

# capjamesg[d] My website is https://jamesg.blog. I like to write a lot, about everything from programming to Taylor Swift's music.
# [Joe_Crawford] paperbritt you're in the right place!

# paperbritt I've been on a deep dive through the indieweb wiki and sites that mentioned it over the last few days and it's really nice to see a lot of familiar names from my browsings.
# capjamesg[d] Yeah! We're all passionate about personal websites.
