Maybe this is a bit lame for a post, but I was looking for a good website host to start putting my work online, and Im still not sure which one would be best.

 

There are a good number of internet savy people here, so maybe you guys could give me a few suggestions:

 

- I have some art material I would like to upload. This could be a blog sort of thing, or a site that is easily expanded. This would probably be my "personnal creation" site where I would be putting my stuff as I make them.

 

- A portfolio site, we all know what thats like.

 

- A "professional" site where you put material on your completed works, and WIPs. Architecture is the field.

 

I've been posting most of my art stuff on social media, and using direct emails and a pdf portfolio for professional needs . But I want to expand a bit and have something online to refer to.

 

No need for a payed subscription, a free, simple hosting will do. But I must stress this - no ads. I know of wordpress, but little else. Any good ideas?

Wordpress is good, and very customisable (although you need to pay if you want to edit the CSS yourself), but as I understand it there are sometimes ads shown on free accounts (which I never see because I use adblock). You could also try Blogger, but I'd be surprised if that is totally ad-free either given that it is Google.

 

If you are looking for a site which is both 100% free and never shows ads you might be out of luck. The host has to pay its bills somehow.

Yeah, I made a site on wordpress once, for a short film I worked on. It worked quite well, but I remember not being able to find a template (or edit the one I did choose) to make it as bare and minimal as I liked, I had to work with their constraints. Maybe they have new ones by now...

There are many good portfolio templates for Wordpress, some of them even free. I would buy some web space and use wordpress with a nice portfolio theme, if I were in your shoes :)

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
