[morgan] https://alienmelon.itch.io/electric-zine-maker My spouse bought me a download of this sometime ago, it was very fun to play with, you can go this direction with your art style/presentation if you wish to making an electronic zine. But theres a lot thats inspirational from that HEADINGS zine too, for like capturing a vibe
# [morgan] In a certain way, zines of old were famous for being created with whatever tools and materials you have on hand. and a photocopier. I think its totally valid if you have a picture in some OS app and there is a PDF markup option to add stuff to it to create a like office-style zine. Theres so much to imagine and consider in the old ways and the new

# dcrex Hello.
# dcrex I want to start my own indie website. I do know html, but it has been a while since I wrote any of it. I've been thinking about moving my art hobby away from social media to my own page. I'm thinking of creating a very simple page, but with quite some content. It would be perhaps interesting for any people who are looking into sketching and sketchbooks and things like that. I would have a completely static website. Back when I did html, I know that
# dcrex it was quite a pain to get the page displayed correctly on different browsers, that is why I am thinking about getting a simple template for a static website. Do you recommend any free template resource page? The main point is to share what I have to share, not that much of tweaking my website. Do you have like a 'phonebook' of indie websites? Thank you, hope you're all having a nice day.
# 
[tantek] closest to a "'phonebook' of indie websites" that we have is our /chat-names page
# 
Loqi The chat names page is for IndieWeb community members to to add their commonly used nicknames on discussion channels, optionally with icons, sorted by nickname with their website and usual timezone(s) https://indieweb.org/chat_names
# [tantek] for a (very) simple static template we do have this: https://github.com/indieweb/blank-gh-site

# dcrex Thank you tantek for a warm welcome and for directions.
# dcrex One more question please. How does one register his own username in order to be able to login to indie login?
# 
[aciccarello] dcrex By indie login are your referring to https://indielogin.com/ in that case you'll want to look at https://indielogin.com/setup
# dcrex aciccarello - I was thinking about registering the username.
# [aciccarello] What username are you referring to, would that be your chat name?
barnaby joined the channel
# dcrex yes
# dcrex so that my website could be in the /chat-names under my nickname.
# [aciccarello] Ah, then you'll want to follow https://indieweb.org/wikifying#How_to_Join_the_IndieWeb_Wiki
# dcrex Thank you! :)
# [aciccarello] Welcome!
# [aciccarello] The first think you will need is to set up web sign-in with your website
