A couple of friends and I are working on a web-zine. The idea is to create a website as the homepage of the zine, and each zine is done as separate issues. Not an ongoing blog. A zine, with discrete issues. I’m fiddling around with it here…
As part of this project I am building the site “old-school.: No content management system. No commenting system. Not even an RSS feed. Just hand-coded html pages done in a text editor, server-side includes, and CSS. An email address people can use to comment if they choose to do so. I feel like interactions like “likes” are bullshit. They’re cheap. If someone really wants to comment, then email us. No associate social media sites. We’ll notify a few friends of the project, and that’s it.
It’s been a lot of fun to work on this.
