      That’s what a Personal site was in the beginning, as most “bloggers” were more technically inclined. We posted what we were interested in.

      This all is personal stuff. A lot of us started their pages before things like wikis or blogs existed, so the content often has elements of what you’d later find there - and depending on if it makes sense or not a blog may have been added later on, or not. Or still is not what would be considered a classical blog, but just an easier way of updating regular content.

      There aren’t concrete definitions around this, but I might categorize it as

      • personal site: a website by one person with their work / artistic expression / whatever they want to put on a site that they alone control
        • portfolio / resume site, subtype of the personal site where the main topic is the person

      They used to be like that even in the 90’s. Yes, some if the sftuff on them is info about the oerson, but generally, they’re usually some tech savvy person that has some personal projects on the side that just wants to share with the world (some sort of a meter, firmware hacks, patchers, etc.). In general, yes, it’s a gold mine of info.

      Too bad they’re kinda defunct now with the advent of social media… there were a lot of cool projects on personal websites.

      I think git sites are more like what personal websites used to be back then. GitHub in particular makes this very easy with GitHub pages. Got a cool project you wanna share? Make a small web page for it, bam, your project has a web page 😉.

  Look at that beautiful [answered]. I forgot lemmy lets you edit the title of posts. So many embarrassing typos avoided

  Personal homepages. What we used to call 'em in the nineties.

    Yep, personal website/homepage. They used to be quite common before the advent of social media.

    I think GitHub does a pretty good job nowadays for that, with GitHub pages and all that.

  That is literally a blog, derivative of the word weblog or what people called their own personal websites before social media platforms existed. This is nothing new. This is literally the fundamental content of the internet.

  Online, today I’d call it a personal blog or portfolio. In the days of pen-and-paper, my newsroom called it a tickler file.

  Just sounds like a website to me. Maybe the distinction you’re looking for is that it sounds more like a “Web 1.0” style website, before we opened the floodgates on user-generated content.

    …before we opened the floodgates on user-generated content.

    You mean shitty user generated images and videos… there was user generated content before, but it wasn’t for self promotion. It was just “hey, I think this is cool, what you guys think of my project ☺️”… just people sharing ideas and other things.

    Like I remember this very cool project someone did in their yahoo pages, a CD-ROM converted to a CD player. For the younger generation, CD-ROMs used to have an analogue audio out cable, so basically, when you play your audio CD in your CD-ROM, the signal went through the audio card’s CD_IN connector (yes, believe it or not, AUX wasn’t the only line level input on audio cards). Some CD-ROMs even had a play/next button and a stop button on the front pannel. So what this person actually did was program an MCU to generate the ATA commands that the PC will generate, so you can basically use your CD-ROM as a CD player without it being hooked to a PC. Pretty cool if you ask me ☺️. Reuse old hardware, give it new life and meaning… well, at least for a while.

  I’ve seen them called digital gardens, because they like something you maintain and let grow with no specific purpose.
