Hi folks, I'm so dang tired of the internet as it currently is. The idea of a small web, personal websites, returning to what the internet was intended to be sounds incredibly exciting to me and I'd like to invest in that... but I don't really know where to start? So much of what I read seems to have a ton of coding jargon. I clicked on Small Web 101 and it was a masterlist of somewhat confusing links.

The most coding I've done was on Khan Academy as a teenager or setting up an automatic macro to run the coliseum for me in Flight Rising. I pirate basically everything I watch but I've only torrented one or two things and don't really grasp how that works. I don't really know anything about my laptop but I have a vague idea that I should switch to Linux and I replaced the screen once.

What's step one for a wannabe Small Web enthusiast?

Do you know any good tutorials for building a simple web page that includes CSS styles and a really simple js component? In school we were taught to build straight html web pages but I have no clue how to use css instead of in-line style tags. Been messing around with a neocities page somewhat unsuccessfully.

    This is from the ppl making the CSS standard: https://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/011/firstcss

    It first shows how to use CSS in the HTML header, but in the end also how to use an external CSS file.

    About JS components: This is ambiguous and maybe getting out of hand. For small web, it's best to use JS to automate HTML components. Pure JS components exist as well, but this get's bloated with libraries quickly.
