How do we find websites like yours? When I do a search it's rare that small websites appear and Google seems to just end search results after a few pages. Is rss the primary way?

For me it's usually webrings or reccomended sections on small websites, or just blogs citing other blogs.

One way to find an individual's personal website is to get it from them. Mine's on my profile here, and has been on my profile everywhere on the Internet since time immemorial. It's also in my email signature, and listed on my business cards and whatnot in real life. It's established enough that you can also do web searches for my IRL name and probably find me, despite the fact that a famous English football player by the same name took the first page of Google results away from me at some point.

If you don't know whose website you're looking for, that makes it more difficult.

It's a nice website too, the only critique i have is that it's very slow to load (at least on mobile)

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

thank you, aw damn - some of the data feeds are large but nothing should be render blocking, page speed insights says first paint loads under 1.1seconds I’ll have to improve some of that data or precache some of it

I had a <4s load on mobile

I've had my current personal domain for 22 years, but before that I had a succession of hand-coded personal websites going back to the janky free webhosts we had in the 1990s.
