# ZodiacalComet tellroboxer Welcome. The /Getting_Started guide is a good place to start if you are lost, there were some resources sent recently around here on learning HTML, I'm trying to find it. And people in here are happy to answer questions/doubts if you have any
# tellroboxer ZodiacalComet: I already know the basics of HTML and CSS from making a crappy website years and years ago that looked liked it was made in 1997 by a small child with no art sense and it was made in HTML4 the old fashioned way
# tellroboxer that also meant the code was a complete mess
# tellroboxer I am still in planning stage at the moment
# tellroboxer [edit] that also meant the code was a complete mess and it used old obsolete HTML tags that nobody uses anymore
# tellroboxer [edit] I am still in planning stage at the moment because I want it to look professional
# tellroboxer [edit] I am still in planning stage at the moment because I want it to look and feel professional
# ZodiacalComet understandable, just be careful in getting trapped there indefinitely. I know I did

# tellroboxer Is it possible to use tailwind on indie web sites? I don't feel like having thousands of different rules like I have seen on some sites
# [capjamesg] You can use whatever technology you want. With that in mind, please discuss any technical topics like operating systems, HTML, CSS, frameworks, etc. in #indieweb-dev.

# elliotwren oh hell yeah, awesome! also i have a question - i saw a list of musicians that are on the indieweb.org page for musician. it looks like they added themselves to it, is that something im just allowed to do or is it like "with special permission" type of thing?4
# [capjamesg] You’re allowed to add yourself to the wiki!
# elliotwren oh hell yeah
# [capjamesg] Many pages have “IndieWeb Examples” sections that are specifically for listing your projects related to the page.
