Links by Friday 007 - Return of the Indie Web
Intro
The early 2000s saw the launch of some notable internet products like WordPress, Basecamp, Facebook, Flickr among others. It have been 20 years and I'm curious if we will see a repeat of the energy, conditions and opportunities that created these online products in the coming years.
Return of the Indie Web
The indie web may be back. But if it is, it is likely in a way we least expect.
With roots in the world of fashion, there exists a cyclical principle suggesting that every two decades, previously popular trends “every 20 years or so the trends that were once popular will begin to be on the forefront again.” What’s old is new again. However, these recurring trends aren’t just rip-offs. They are remixed and reinterpreted through the lens of a new generation.
We are, perhaps, in a 20 year resurgence for the indie web and blogging.

Gallery of Personal Sites
A gallery of personal sites/blogs. It's nice to see some of my favourite people like Lene Saile, Saneef, LauraGift among others featured there.
It's great for inspiration and discovery. Check it out.
PersonalSit.es | Yes we got hot and fresh sites
Personal sites are sick as hell, so this site was built so we can all discover each other's. This directory of links are by folks that want to share their site with the world.
Yearly theme
At the start of each year, my husband and I each pick a “yearly theme” instead of new year’s resolutions. The yearly theme acts as a guiding spirit to help direct our energy, activities, and decisions throughout the year.
Are you a yearly theme person or what do you do exactly with each year?

I suck at CSS, but Geoff claims CSS is weird, but not illogical and shows us how.
