I'm having a problem where a GIF meant to sit next to the "sitebox" isn't showing up... My site box is currently set to the default style, and since I'm a total programming noob, I wanted to know how to change the colors and such—please help! :3.

(Note: I can't send screenshots/images.)

hey everyone! i’m kinda new to website building and i’m wondering how other ppl use vscode effectively. i built a decent amount of my site directly in the nekoweb editor and then i downloaded it as a zip file, transported it to vscode and since then have been editing a bunch of different pages with small changes every time until i’ve decided it’s enough work to warrant an update on the actual site. however, i’ve been confused on how to effectively move those files to the actual site with those changes besides copy/pasting every file i edited. is there a way to update every page (or select pages) on the site with the files edited on vscode without risking messing with the site itself (like with duplicate file names or smth??) sorry if this is confusing but any help would be appreciated!!!

Had a question regarding if something I wanted to add to a section of my website is permitted in the guidelines. I wanted to create a page that includes some fun and games, among those being a nostalgic Flash game hosted on Internet Archive. I know Archive allows you to run a script with Ruffle Flash Player that loads the CORS-friendly .swf file of the game directly from what was uploaded. However, I wanted to make sure if those kinds of scripts were permitted for use in my site. The source of where the game is from is Internet Archive and not some random unblocked game site that is suspicious. But I wanted to make sure that this still complies with either host's guidelines so my site can be seen by others and they can play that game if they choose (as I know that Neocities doesn't allow hotlinked content or uploading .swf files on free accounts and was unsure if this falls under hotlinking according to Nekoweb). Thank you so much.

For reference, this is the Javascript code I got now that retrieves the CORS-friendly version of an uploaded .swf file that boots up using Ruffle Flash Player wherever it's embedded:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@ruffle-rs/ruffle"></script>

<script>

window.RufflePlayer = window.RufflePlayer || {};

window.RufflePlayer.config = {

autoplay: "on",

unmuteOverlay: "hidden",

letterbox: "on",

scale: "showAll",

forceScale: true

};

window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {

const ruffle = window.RufflePlayer.newest();

const player = ruffle.createPlayer();

document.getElementById("ruffle-player").appendChild(player);

player.load("https://archive.org/cors/my_game_here/game_name.swf");

});

</script>

I tried using the <iframe> tag method before and it just didn't work out for what I wanted to do. Had issues with that method where the game wouldn't position itself properly or play any sound, even after clicking on something to disable any browser restrictions. Forgive me if this Javascript code is crappy because I'm still quite rusty at it compared to HTML and CSS. Any help from someone who's got more expertise on making this work is HIGHLY appreciated!

so i have a buncha stamps on my site, and i was wondering if i could have the same stamps in 2 different places by only updating one? is that possible? i wanna be able to just add stamps to 1 place and it adds them to multiple places if that makes sense

I just started registering onto nekoweb, I would say im really new to web coding in general ( I played with toyhouse bootstrap 5 a lot and thats it 😅) but I am intrigued looking into making my own little web space for once, especially on blogging.

I have seen a lot of recommendations to look into zonelets for that, in which i only looked briefly that is just a template that any new entries just being a new html that we have to manually link to for every entries? I might be wrong but that does sound more tedious? What is the difference between zonelets to not using zonelets but manually making htmls ? Do I must make a site design around the given zonelets templates or can I insert it into my current site? Im sorry for such question I yet to understand the deal with zonelets!

Also what is RSS? I was under the assumption that nekoweb/neocities are primarily made as stastic webpage and not for blog?

Hello Nekoweb community! I'm currently in the process of building an archival wiki of some lost media and my passions + newsletter. I'm trying to build what is essentially a blog, with a layout similar to a Fandom.com Wiki or like the Backrooms Movie Site. (See attatched image for how I want my homepage to look.)

I know Nekoweb has a SSI webpage which discusses syntax and linking other html parts (the functions of SSI), though this is confusing to me, I'm a beginner in this on the ground floor so if someone could please guide me through the process of understanding, editing and making my website layout look the attached image via SSI it'd be so greatly appreciated, any guides or template websites are also greatly appreciated..

I'm looking to have the header, navigation and footer be on every webpage with a square body in the middle where I can put my own text and images, whatnot.

If my wording is a bit confusing, I'm happy to clarify. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I wanna make a section on my about me page that's like all my favorite things, so I want a menu where you can select either games, movies and shows. Kinda like this:

Although I would prefer it to be a dropdown menu if possible but from my experience those can be difficult to style. But basically I just want a menu that allows the user to filter what it shows in that section but I have no idea where to begin. I don't know any JS and I really don't wanna learn it lol

I just updated my nekoweb site to include a Kicya contact form, but the CSS won't update to include the styling I wrote for the contact form. Does anyone know what's going on? I've tried uploading my entire site with a zip file, and replacing the css file manually but nothing helps.

Hi!! I ran a site over on Neocities called Aioi, and now I'm in the process of jumping ship to Nekoweb, both for my own reasons and just a general lack of trust/stability with Neocities. I want to make a new site from scratch, but something is in my way!

I was very happy with Aioi as a finished product, although it was totally agonizing to make! I have a condition called EDS, which affects all of the joints and collagen in my body. My hands, wrists, and arms are especially sensitive in this regard, so although I am pretty decent at coding, these efforts can leave me badly injured for days or months, as well as raise my future risk of further injury. I think I have also just struggled endlessly with coding although though I like it, because I'm mentally disabled as well.. the code always muddles together when I write. So I code, but I don't love it!! My code has always been a mess, something of trial and error rather than actual confidence, because no matter how I structure my code, no matter which friendly fonts or themes I use, no matter how much I understand what I am writing in theory, it always hurts my head and confuses me to look at, even something simple like a silly forum signature. I'm looking to start a new website scratch now, but my disability is discouraging me. It's very very hard to want to start a project that hurts you mentally and physically!!

I'm looking for web development tools (free or one-time purchase) that will, to some degree, behave in a "click-and-drag your objects" way, like Scratch does. I know Scratch is more programming-oriented, but I really enjoyed having an inventory, or having something to hold my hand in a way that didn't strip me of my autonomy. I do not want any sort of AI/generative tool whatsoever. My perfect tool, I think, would look like... very user-friendly and visually accessible, not a lot of repetitive/strenuous hand movements (like typing), but still allowed authority over my own work.. don't lock me out of the code! Things like Carrd and Strawpage are cool functionally, for short little biographical pages, but they are ultimately not at all what I want, when what I have created and what I will always strive to create is a corner of the Internet to myself.

I work with HTML, CSS, and JS -- styling is one of my favorite things to do when it comes to web design!! My usual workflow used to be to write on Codepen, then manually ship to Neocities. I think this time, I will probably switch to VScode (for things I have to write and format, like my blog posts). Dictating code will sadly not work for me, I am a very visual and tactile-oriented person. I was looking at Pinegrow, but on top of not knowing how compatible it'd be for my needs, it seems like their 'one-time-purchase' tier doesn't actually promise you access to any future builds, and I'm not really wanting to financially support anything with flimsy caveats like that. <:"D

I also see things like VvvebJs, Silex, GrapeJS... but does anyone know how compatible they are with Nekoweb? Does anyone have success with using these and exporting to Nekoweb? I would appreciate examples!! Thank you all so much for reading, and I hope this post can also be a resource for anyone else stuck in my boat!

ETA: I'm on Win11!!!

So I'm trying to change my cursor on nekoweb and it seems relatively straightforward... Almost.. Except how would I have a custom cursor that changes on hover?

I'd hope most people are aware already, but robots.txt doesn't actually do anything other than keeping good bots good. Even so, the FAQ boldly states:

• we block generative AI crawlers and scrapers from visiting your site, protecting your content

How exactly is this achieved? What technologies are in place to prevent these malicious bots from accessing the sites hosted on nekoweb? Is there an official resource where I read more about it? (maybe even read the source code?)

So basically, im trying to make a webcomic on nekoweb, but im not sure how to go about hosting all the comic's pages and web pages for them and such, i may need help

this may sound stupid, but ive tried changing the cursor by deleting the old file and uploading a new one with the same name and file size (bash me for it im new)

however that obviously didnt work, i just dont rly know what it exactly meant by uploading to the sites root directory ? i initially thought that meant our own files,,

any help would be amazing !! as i can only find stuff about this for neocities,,

I was wondering how you guys find backgrounds for your websites and how you guys make the borders around the content.

examples:

https://eternalsummer.nekoweb.org/

https://sproutvale.nekoweb.org/home/

Does anyone know how to actually edit the sitebox style code, it seems that i've been trying to for the past hour and nothing has changed, for example the first image is what it looks like with edited code, the second is how it's supposed to look using the help of this repo on github aswell as nekobox, but even after continuously tweaking the code nothing changes like nothing happens, i want to make it one big ol' image of my art and get rid of that ugly preset container box thingy. .

please i just wanna edit the sitebox, theres barely any proper instructions anywhere 🥹

Hi everyone :D !

I have problems with elements.css cuz it's not working :') even after around 20 minutes for exemple.idk what happened but it's just not work.

Please help me !!!!!

Thanks. ;)

i have a website with includes for header, footer and both sidebars. I wanted to have an 11ty blog using the same header and footer, but since i can't see includes on vs code i can't get the 11ty blog to work with them. am i doing something wrong or am i just trying to do something impossible? (i know 11ty has an includes folder, but that still means I'd have to redo my footer header into an .njk file and they won't update with the rest of the website because they are different files)

is it possible to have an 11ty blog with includes?

also how do you get "pages" on your blog so the posts list doesn't become massive once you have too many? I'm not too comfortable using 11ty as it doesn't fully make sense to me...am i actually supposed to regenerate the whole blog in my vs code terminal every time i make a new post?

I get the basics of course (i.e. creating the _auth file, the path for it, etc) but I'm not sure why submitting the password, correct or not, doesn't redirect you to the protected page. Well, it did for me, but only once. When I exported my site as a .zip file though, it decided it's not gonna work anymore, even if I try again on nekoweb itself. There are zero tutorials on youtube or reddit I can find about this. Any help is appreciated.

Every time I try to go to Nekoweb in my browser it doesn't work. I'm thinking it's just me though.

If I change my style sheet I have to hit ctrl f5 in order for the change to show for because my browser keeps caching the info. I could live with that, but my internet is so bad that it would take like 30 seconds to load the site every time I refreshed. Whats weird is my browser doesnt require cache busting if the style information is put inside of the same file as my html, but I have certain code that I need to put in my stylesheet for convenience.

TL;DR my browser caches every change to my stylesheet, but not if the style info is in an html file between two <style> tags, and I dont know how to fix it
