Just some warm words. I love the concept and I think sites like this are very important to get fresh blood actively participating online (to be really online versus having a fixed flow tumblr blog). Keep the barrier of entry as low as possible... thanks a lot! :)
One thing I really miss from Geocities is the "structured browsing" that allowed me to find sites from a given subject without using search by word. Also, I miss letting the user decide what is the subject of his/her site and where to put it in the hierarchy. It doesn't fit for some sites, but it did give a sense of "organization" that textual search cannot really match... especially when you don't know what you're l…
There are tags implemented, it's just a matter of me getting them into the browse. I probably should have mentioned this in the blog post.. oops. :-)

As much as there has been lots of trash talking here about Neocities due to it being 'just' HTML and CSS, I teach high school kids on a semi-regular basis (teaching summer camp right now) and that's the thing they're _most_ jazzed about. I told them all to sign up. They were super pumped.

First with things like drag-and-drop file uploading, and then with an API to allow developers to write tools to upload files Regarding this API, do you intend re-inventing the wheel, or are you going to use something like ssh that people already have written tools around (e.g. rsync)?
Kyle, I died a little inside when I saw the preview of the new "beautiful front page". It's a great webdesign, but I thought the part of the appeal of your site was the ghetto-fabulousness? The redesigned front page makes it look like a Wix competitor. I thought you wanted something that looked plain and boring, but accessible to everyone (like the blog). With a super modern fancy web design, you make the site look l…
Try some different styles, try some more minimalist visuals, and above all play around with your copy placement - because it doesn't convey the 'click here and make a website' call to action that your existing design does so effortlessly through a combination of good copy and intuitive buttons/forms.
my site got pulled(erased)after the first day WTF?
I'm pretty sure there was some name collisions or something the first day. I think it's been fixed since then
