Why I Made My Own Website In 2022

It’s no secret today that one can make their own website simply and easily in a short amount of time by going to well known online services like Wordpress.com or Site123.com.

But why make one? Here I’m going to go over my Top 10 reasons for making a website in 2022, with easy steps to make your own in just minutes.

Number 1: Keeping Da Cops Off Your Lawn.

The act keeping of cops or “police” off one’s front lawn is a longstanding pastime of the--

Ok that’s enough of that right now

Hi, I’m Paintbrush.

If you’re reading this, that means I made and published a website! For reals!! I made it with My Own Two Dang Hands and Notepad. No really.

I made this site, because I always wanted one. Flash is dead, however, so I had to forgo my lifelong (???) dream of having a site with really dumb widgets and secret clickables.

Well, actually I had to drop that back when I initially learned Flash way back in 2012. ActionScript is hard! I learned HTML and CSS instead, and now I’m here! I can’t embed flash cartoons though. :/ (Not that I ever completed any...)

I have settled for a site that looks like it’s from the 2000s, but also not. This site probably has ISSUES when opened on a mobile device, and maybe I’ll fix them. Or maybe I won’t because it seems PRETTY DANG COMPLICATED, and I don’t really understand it or want to mess with Javascript at all.

I didn’t actually have much use for a site before, but I really do these days, I feel. The internet is a really neat place conceptually, but it’s all corporate now.
I have no problem with people makin’ online cash, but between the sites with 300 autoplay video ads with tiny × s and an average of way too much SEO jargon, and the hectic cutthroat and nigh unfilterable world of modern Social Media; I gotta tell ya, I’m tired of it.

Anyway, this is a place that keeps all my stuff now! And I get to spam as many emoticon as I want!!!!!!!!!! XDDDDDD :3

You can now find my art here, more articles/posts (soon I hope?), and even a little biography thing on me. Perhaps one day I will come up with more sections for this site, but I think this is a good start.
