There was a leak on Google's GitHub this week of parts of the factors used in their ranking algorithm. Search Engine Land points out something interesting in https://searchengineland.com/google-search-document-leak-ranking-442617

> **Small sites.** Another feature is smallPersonalSite – for a small personal site or blog. King speculated that Google could boost or demote such sites via a Twiddler. However, that remains an open question. Again, we don’t know for certain how much these features are weighted.

Hey folks, I'm new here. Long time user of the web and once maker of a Geocities page that is lost to the ages. I made a goal for myself this year: to enjoy being on the web again.
#

I'm an artist and designer, making mostly comics and paper craft activity kits and sometimes websites.

So I've been hunting down interesting homepages and adding to my RSS reader, and feel much happier as a result. I'm now in the process of making my own website a bit more indieweb friendly and a bit more active, not just a place I post finished things and forget.

Welcome to the indie web, paperbritt[d]!
#
capjamesg[d]
Do you have a website online, or is it a work in progress?
#
[Jo]
Welcome!! I would also love to see your website
#
paperbritt
This is me: https://britthub.co.uk/
#

Its mostly existed as a portfolio, little shop and oddly static wordpress site for some time. I'm going to try and get back into the habit of actually blogging.

I love the design of your website. It is really readable.

And I like your comic about anxiety. I have found comics about mental health helpful in the past.

paperbritt[d]: Hey!!!!
#
cophee
Welcome 😄
#
paperbritt
capjamesg[d]: Thanks, I do a lot of image based work so wanted the design to be simple but still fun. I spend a lot of time thinking about colour combinations.
#

Updating more often is also an incentive for me to draw more short comics. I'm almost 6 months into a year of trying to remember how to enjoy creating stuff

My website is https://jamesg.blog. I like to write a lot, about everything from programming to Taylor Swift's music.

I've been on a deep dive through the indieweb wiki and sites that mentioned it over the last few days and it's really nice to see a lot of familiar names from my browsings.
#
capjamesg[d]
Yeah! We're all passionate about personal websites.
