These curated discovery services require RSS and Atom feeds. My site doesn't even have those. Looks like I'm too small for the small web.
That's big web thinking. A small website doesn't need to be discoverable. It's supposed to be for you, and if someone else stumbles upon it, and finds it useful or entertaining, that's a bonus.

Does this use frames or iframe? https://kagi.com/smallweb I would expect a raw link in the top bar to the page shown, to be able to bookmark it etc.
There is a '↗'-shaped icon in the navigation bar at the top. If you click on that it takes you to the original post in a new tab. On Firefox and Safari, you can also right click that icon and add the original post to the bookmarks.

FYI frames don't exist any more. They're not supported by browsers.

They barely mentioned your website (fourth in five urls, mainly talking about indieblog.com and kagi.com/smallweb), so "That is my website!" is confusing and makes it seem like you're autoresponding to a keyword.
Why should I auto-respond to a keyword? Just curious seeing it here buddy. Breathe easy.
I did a Small Web search at Marginalia and was immediately pointed to sites that claim that I and everyone in my political party are literally the spawn of Satan--I really don't think it's my thing.
I helped develop the ARPANET back in 1969-1970 while working for the UCLA Comp Sci dept, got a brief mention in RFC 57, hold several network patents, and was on usenet before the usenix conference where we voted to call it that ... I'm bemused by all the people who claim that boomers are technologically inept (I think they have us mixed up with our parents). Anyway it's been a heck of a wild ride and didn't end up quite how JCR Licklider envisioned it.
Kagi Small Web has about 32K sites and I'd like to think that we have captured most of (english speaking) personal blogs out there (we are adding about 10 per day and a significant effort went into discovering/fidning them). It is kind of sad that the entire size of this small web is only 30k sites these days.
> I'd like to think that we have captured most of (english speaking) personal blogs I think that's naive. But maybe thats just because my blog wasn't on the list :)
I'm very keen on public libraries. I'm fortunate in that our village has a community run one, there is the county one, and I can get to The British Library. Why do these entities exist? A real question - not rhetorical. Whatever the answer, I am sure the same mechanism could "pay for" public hosting.
I don't expect many people to agree but I think that the "small web" should reject encryption, which is the opposite direction that Gemini is taking. I don't deny the importance of encryption, it is really what shaped the modern web, allowing for secure payment, private transfer of personal information, etc... See where I am getting at? Removing encryption means that you can't reasonably do financial transactions, ac…
Your entire comment is paragraphs of grasping at straws. > The other thing is the usual argument about oppressive governments, etc... Well, if want to protect yourself, TLS won't save you, you will be given away by your IP address, they may not see exactly what you are looking at, but the simple fact you are connecting to a server containing sensitive data may be evidence enough. Protecting your identity is what netw…
I just mentioned that because I expected someone to say "but privacy...", because privacy and encryption go hand in hand. And my argument is that the encryption we usually think of in the context of the web is TLS, and it is not a good fit in that context.
The goal here is to publish information for everyone to see, it is not secret messaging, what you may want to protect is your identity. There are networks especially designed for this, and you are better off using these, but if you are not, then I believe that accessing a HTTP website through an anonymizing proxy (like TOR) is better at protecting your identity than relying on the TLS layer of HTTPS or Gemini.

Hey!!!!! That is my website! To be fair, the hard part is hard to keep a personal website regularly updated without making people think it's abandoned. I don't have a regular post cadence. So it looks like I don't touch the website at all for months. But I regularly update my posts and other sections event if there isn't any new posts. I also wrote something similar to OP - https://www.unsungnovelty.org/posts/10/2024…
Sadely this search engine is now javascript only. So the "small" web...

To clarify criteria is less than 2 years since last blog post.
You may want to clarify that on https://github.com/kagisearch/smallweb because the README there says: > Blog has recent posts ( This may be different than inclusion criteria for websites in general, but on first read it looks like it has to be very active. I might have missed something while skimming it, but would assume others would miss it as well.
* The blog must have a recent post, no older than 12 months, to meet the recency criteria for inclusion.
* Criteria for posts to show on the website: Blog has recent posts (The latter criteria is for the website / post to appear in Kagi's random Small Web feature, where they display the blog post in an iframe. (So I think only posts from the last week are displayed there.) Being on the list should ensure that any new posts could be displayed in Small Web though, and presumably that the website is indexed in Kagi's Teclis index as well. At least, I really hope that the Teclis index is including all of those old blog posts too, and not discarding them.
EDIT: I just realized freediver actually is Vladimir - I'd love to know if Teclis does index all those older blog posts too. I assume it does index everything that is still present in the RSS feeds?
