It’s like a mix of

  • personal blog
  • wikis and tutorials about a specific subject
  • bookmarks list
  • random cool stuff : music playlists, fav movies…etc
  • portfolio projects
  • contact information

All of this is put together by one person, I know these types of websites have a name, I forgot what they’re called ?

Edit: Indie webpage

      well it is personal, but it goes way beyond personal stuff, like projects and ideas, and sources ( links ) to other sources, these websites are gold mines

        They used to be like that even in the 90’s. Yes, some of 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 😉.

        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

        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.

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

        I’ve never heard someone call the “eternal september” the “Advent of social media”

          Meeh, it’s how I usually refer to the internet before 2005, 2006-ish… 2010 was the breaking point I think, it became obvious why forums and anything other than social media was dying.

            I agree, but those were my teenage years, so I’m inclide to not trust my opinions of those times.

    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.

    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.
