Let's start with my list of failed blog/web projects:

2019: My first local landing page following Indian youtube tutorial
2020: Tried a free hosting 000webhost, doing php and mysql
2020: Tried some obscure free hostings
2020: Bought a domain, only last 3 months
2021: Github pages: math calculator/solver
2021: Blogspot posting math and pascal programming
2022: Jekyll
2023: Github pages: showcase creative coding
2024: Hugo
2024: Cloudflare pages: math calculator/solver
2024: neocities + my own static site generator + github action

In this attempt, I made the following principles:

No JS
No favicon
Minimal CSS, one for all
No id and class attributes
No menu bar
No comment section
No footer
Only float left
Use CDN for images

Blog tree:

- index.html
- style.css
- posts/
    - post1.html
    - post2.html
    - ...

I will stick to this structure for every post:

meta charset
meta viewport
link css
Link to home
title
h1 title
Author
Posted

For my coping, I call this HTML meditation. I write the layout once and never change it. So, in 10 years it will look nostalgic. I am writing this on vim. I decided to less worried about my English. I am bad at writing English. I will mostly write bullet list because it is easier than paragraph.

Some inspirations:
