Weird Web October is a challenge to try and make a website every day of October, based on the theme for each day, inspired by Inktober. It’s open to you and everyone!
i reached out and got clarification that submissions can be webpages, not just standalone websites, and i’m hoping to participate! one per day is too fast a pace for me, but there are a few themes i’ve got my eye on.
Great idea, but this is already filling me with creation dread 
Oh gosh, so many prompts… Maybe next year!
it’s overwhelming to consider participating every day! i definitely won’t be doing that.
i’m mostly excited to see what other people make!
ooh!!! i’m definitely gonna try and do this, it seems fun!! the octothorpes thing seems really interesting, although i’m a little fuzzy on how it works/if it’ll work for a neocities page…
31 is probably way more ideas than i have in me, but it’s worth a try!
yay, i can’t wait to see your pages!
the octothorpes docs have a very circular logic that’s hard for me to parse… but it does work on neocities pages! here’s their demo neocities site and proof that it shows up in the neocities tag octothorpe.
ack, i spent half the day wondering if pages had to be manually approved to show up on #weirdweboctober… then i finally did some snooping around the source code of some other submissions and found out the instructions are incomplete. 
it says to paste the following into your page’s <head>:
<link rel="preload" as="fetch" href="https://octothorp.es/?uri=https://weirdweboctober.website/" >
<link rel="octo:octothorpes" href="weirdweboctober" >
but fails to mention that you need to change the uri value to match the page you’re submitting. maybe obvious to some, but not to me!
sharing this in case anyone else is sitting there wondering why their page isn’t showing up.
edit: i forgot to share the link to my entry!
HA i appreciate it because i did in fact just finish my entry and then go “ahh, it isn’t showing up, maybe i did it wrong…”
thanks!!!
also, here’s my thing for day one! pretty simple, but i went to the extra effort to make it work on phones - gonna try to do that for everything this month.
day two: css! a very small one for today. really broad prompt, intrigued to see where people go with this one!
Woa, I found this one super captivating! Went back to it a couple of times actually. Well done :)
i’ve been really enjoying looking at everybody’s entries! including yours loren. your cmyk clock is my favorite so far i think.
i’ve been having a hard time thinking of things to do for a couple days in a row now and lost momentum… womp-womp… not sure if i’m going to try and catch up or just do the prompts that i feel like doing. i feel like i’ll get annoyed if i don’t 100% it but also… if i got no ideas i got no ideas! but on the other hand, the point is that it’s fine to do something really small and low-effort just for the sake of doing it…! many trials and tribulations to overcome in this world, truly. 
weird web october is back! the site was just updated with this year’s prompt list:
(edit: these links all go to the octothorpes pages that will become populated during the event!)
Ooo - I’m tempted, but I think I’ll be recovering from SciArt September! I look forward to seeing what folks come up with~
yay!!! im so glad it’s happening again. really looking forward to these. im gonna try and buckle down and do more this year than i did last year. 
Man, I think my Statistics course may stop me from participating too much, but I’m already eyeing some of the prompts just because they look so fun to work with 
It’s already so goood! I’m a dev for Octothorpes, and we’re gonna be doing some fun stuff for all you weirdweboctoberians this year. Here’s a little welcome post with some useful links: Welcome Back Weird Web October
aw man i thought i was sooo clever but a couple other people had the same idea as me for transparency :') still, it’s fun to see different people do variations on the same thing. this year is already bustling!
Update: In case anyone’s following the Weird Web October octothorpes using the RSS option, or if you tried and the links were broken, good news! They should not be broken anymore.
