Implemented the code npub.pro sent me as a Christmas gift to make some updates to the theme I’m using: darker area behind main nav (desktop) and a block of text on the Home page so I could add some intro text and contact info.

Worked like a charm. Nostr devs are the best!!!

2024 #art recap photo …. 🤩

365 days is a long time, so at the end of December, I put all the art (or a representation of it, like the fabric scrap for the Bread and Toast commissions and the dragon back ridges for the 24” x 30” Drifting Dragon painting I created for a friend) on a desk and take a photo.

This helps alleviate any “I didn’t do anything this year” feels that appear in these last days of the year. 😓😊

This art review also helps in that I can look across the range of art projects and think about which were the most interesting/fun/challenging, and what I want to do more (or less) of in 2025.

And another shoutout of Thanks! to brugeman and #npubpro because having a website of my #nostr posts I created with a special hashtag of #rustypuppyart made this process So Much Easier. 👍

And Many, Many Thanks!!! to those who have zapped my art along the way. I do not take it for granted in anyway; it makes me extremely happy that you find value in what I create. ⚡️🫂

Looking forward to sharing more art (and some stories) with you in the New Year! 💜🥂

In August 2024, I set up an npub.pro website from my Rustypuppy Nostr account - https://rustypuppy.npub.pro/

I've had various personal websites on and off for decades. As much time as I was spending on Nostr, I thought I might well try out this service that created a website from my Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays ... a very attractive idea, as having to post to multiple closed social media systems (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram) AND a blog was more work than I wanted to do.

First, I had to set up a browser signer; I used nsec.app - which thankfully, has very helpful documentation for the non-technical.

Then I got to play with themes - lots and lots of themes! Many are very similar, and the biggest difference tends to be placement of the content and with/without images as a focus. Picking one that worked for me was a trial and error process, which npub.pro made very easy by pulling in my own notes. I chose the Massively theme for the large header image and global navigation placement. Changing themes is simple, so that's always an option.

I initially didn't underst and how to get to some settings, or even that certain settings were available, but brugeman was extremely patient and helpful. I do truly appreciate that about the current state of Nostr - lots of new things being built and you can usually get help from a real person involved in the building.

I use my npub.pro website site as a personal website; a link I can send to anyone and know they can see the content without having to create a specific account or download a specific app. They may not see my latest notes, but that's not a critical issue for me.

It's also an ideal way to show how Nostr is truly a protocol, not a specific app or virtual space controlled by a specific company. My content shows up on my website and in more than one Nostr app; something impossible to do with my posts on Instagram.

Eventually, I'd love to see a way to have ecommerce (fiat and sats) incorporated into my npub.pro site, because I currently use other sites (Payhip) and services (Creatr) for that functionality.

Npub.pro also offers using your own domain. It's a paid service I wasn't ready for, but when there was an offer to try it out for free, and I had the idea to do monthly art challenges, I signed up as https://www.nostrartstr.com/ - That was a much more technically involved process, dealing with changing CNAME records at the hosting service, but really good documentation got me through it on the first pass.

For NostrArtstr, I'm using the Simply theme. I also have a better appreciation for the nsec.app, as it and npub.pro make it easy to switch between my two accounts when I'm working on my websites.

For those exploring what's possible with Nostr, I highly recommend setting up an npub.pro website.

Another step in the on-going…

Another step in the on-going Nostrfication of my life … my Npub.pro website is in my profile and I added that URL to my IG profile:

https://rustypuppy.npub.pro

After going all out on tag nav, I scaled it back to art and links to the #nostrichnovember art challenge and my designs on Threadless.

Once I start posting my writings (microfiction and novel chapters), I’ll add those to the nav.

If you don’t have an npub.pro website, definitely check it out. Great way to share you Nostr stuff (and intro the decentralized own your content concept) with anyone who’s not ready to leap into a client. 💜👍

Accomplishment of the Day: setting up my #nostr website with #npubpro:

https://rustypuppy.npub.pro 🎉

Really like how it’s going so far. Interesting to see how it picks up a different number of notes for hashtag categories depending if I look at it on my phone or desktop. Looking forward to using hashtags more efficiently to populate the categories.

Also, just saw it’s 5:33 pm so should probably have lunch now. 🥪

Many thanks to brugeman and all those who make these tech things work for untechs like myself. 🫂
