All about Web Site dev

Now I have a domain and hosting from IONOS.

OBJECTVE: this is a playground for Website development 'my way'
having been appalled at the stuff googlesites and wordpress generate

Some rules :

• Always think Mobile / smartphone / smallscreen
• Keep it simple
• Use as much HTML as practical, HTML5 is current in early 2024, since 2021?
  
• how to organise webspace - images etc. Current Preference is for an images directory below the webpage so src="images/filename.jpg"
  
• keeping image sizes small, though later with a click for hi-res version..
  
• there are numerous problems with trying to use Absolute and Relative paths
  so much is dependent on the underlying operating system AND the Webserver
• usefule for reduing size of JPGs Image COMPRESSOR - "Mass Image Compressor"

My History :

• some years at Mars in Telecoms, there is no good reason to wasting bandwidth
• developed many private, and some commercial websites
  my favourite fun was EuroTrash for Channel 4, invented a micro currency Ribbits for users to buy views or downloads of videos.
  others for e-Inbusiness
  

To Do list: footers, slide shows
avoiding Javascript, used to be favourite years ago, but seems to have gone beserk tons of it unused on Google and Wordpress.
FYI almost anything from google - email or webpages carries 150kb of such rubbish
