Privacy minded guy from Germany here!

[tcblog]

So, hey

I'm a guy from Germany who got really interested in the whole privacy thing.

I do also have my own blog https://techguy-blog.neocities.org/. I have to warn you though, this blog is

#1 not made for being viewed on a mobile device and
#2 also has no dark theme, so be warned your eyes could burn away if you open my site at night, just don't do it

And my website name "techguy-blog" is actually just the , or moreover my German translation of the word "Techniktyp", which when you type it into deepL will come out in English as " technology type", my personal interpretation is that Techniktyp literally means techguy, as in the guy who does things with tech;-), hope it wasn't too convoluted.

Anyway you might wonder why I'm even talking about a German word in an English only blog, well that's because I do also have a YouTube and PeerTube Channel both of which are entirely in German and thus have the German Channel name "Techniktyp" and cause I wanted to have an English blog I just roughly translated my channel name into English, just that you know.

But I mostly shorten the long name techguy-blog --> tcblog just cause its shorter and is easier to spell out.

Have a great day y'all.

Goodbye

Herzlich Wilkommen to the Forum!
It's nice having you here. I read a bit of your Blog Posts and found them quite Interesting. I remember when I had the Bundesjugendspiel when I went to school. They were always quite fun. And I was always quite Terrible.


Finally, as a Suggestion for your Blog so people can be notified when you post, you could add a RSS Feed, which allows people to easily Subscribe to your Blog.

Thanks that you read my Blog Post's, I always think that my writing is terrible and too messy/all over the place.
So yeah thanks for the positive feedback.

I have read about RSS before and also use it myself to "subscribe" to a few sites that I like, but don't know if you can tell, but my HTML is terrible and I always found it hard to implemented RSS into my blog as I don't have any ideas how to code, if it wasn't clear by now .

And yeah, if you speak German by chance than you could check out the mess that's called my YouTube / PeerTube Channel, but be warned it's again very messy and all over the place.

Anyway thanks for the positive reply/feedback.

PS. The "Navigation Bar" on my Blog used to have a grey Background colour, but I have no idea where it went, it was just gone someday, but hey that happens when someone like me tries to put together the html...

EDIT:
I just now noticed that we have indeed written with each other before, on a discussion on Bluesky.
Here's the link : https://bsky.app/profile/rejectconvenie ... tc2sxwjk2h.
I'm honesty quite surprised that we've "talked" to each other before, but since I actually forgot to read your name here on the forum that's possibly why I just noticed it now.

Writing is smth you get used to. So just keep at it and you will improve.
RSS is actually not that complicated, its similar in structure like HTML. Relying on XML in its case. So you can read through the spec there. But I took the Liberty to write an example for your first post you made on your Blog:

Code: Select all

<rss version="2.0">

        Hello and welcome to my new and first Blogpost ever!
        For Context: I`m a small content Creator from Germany, and I`ve discoverd Neocities just one week ago.

        A little Notice: My Youtube, Peertube and Instagram Accounts are in German, but this Blog will be duallingual in English and German.
        
        What will be published on this Blog?, I plan to post Articles to Videos on my Channel, and also other Information. And also a few other Articles about Privacy and Security will be published. I should also mention why I`m blogging in 2024?! I decided to set up this Blog because I think it is important to be "independent" on the Web.

        So, I hope this Blogpost wasn`t too boring.
        Thank you for reading!

You save this as a .xml or .rss for example rss.xml and then link to it in the head of your HTML similar to a Stylesheet link.
