Cool Tools and New Skills for Bloggers
When I first started blogging again in January of 2024, I had a few distant memories of making web pages in the 90s, but I had no clue about anything related to CSS or javascript because we didn't use that back in our Geocities day. In the intervening 10 months that I have been back creating things on the IndyWeb on Micro.blog, Scribbles, OMG.LOL and BearBlog, I have learned a lot about how to make my web pages do what I want and how to include certain elements. The learning process is ongoing, and I am always on the lookout for use tools. Here a few recent finds for you to explore.
