Looking for folks interested in creating an evolving version of the #SmallWeb .
THIS article discusses some of the basic premises.
However, ideally, those participating are in no way limited or restricted by 'someone else's' specific ideas of what defines the #SmallWeb .
The freedom to express individually - via one's personal website - would remain the overall goal.
Any interested please leave a comment.
Thanks!

I read the link and noticed the mention of "your own server". Well, that's been possible for ages. I don't see where he mentions if that's my server on my computer. That is the key to what he proposes. Where's the server?
@Jeber
Yep! I use to build my own servers.
At that time one could have a T1 or a T3 line installed at a more reasonable price than today.
Also, a friend of mine provided a server hosting service where literally all he did was plug them in.
But you are correct.
And THAT is what I'm currently looking into.
While servers are relatively easy to build - it's a matter of having a noninvasive internet connection - that is the key.

When I was a store manager for Sam Goody my store was the district manager's hub. So he had a T-1 line installed for conference calls, etc. He only came in twice a month. The rest of the time I was free to plug into that T-1, which terminated at my desk. Man, I loved being at work with my laptop.
@Jeber Oh how FUN that was!!! Talk about a Great Perk!!!

Static IPs cost a bit, but if you can afford it it’s cool to have your own music or mail server.
