Bluesky Domain handle test: GitHub Pages - ✅ verified This one is great because it verifies you with your GitHub username. Details of how I set up the GitHub Bluesky Handle: www.pixelshannon.com/bluesky/hand...

I just took this fun quiz, Which HTML Element are you? I'm the <p> element, and my nested element is <blockquote> Take the quiz at jamesg.blog/2025/02/13/html-quiz
You are the <p> element!
You see the web as a fantastic platform for sharing the words you write.

Your nested element is <blockquote>.
You like to think about ideas from multiple places and connect them.

Nekoweb is personal website host similar to Neocities. I was able to configure a Bluesky handle with my nekoweb.org subdomain. I used the "No domain panel" option in Bluesky, uploading the text file to a folder. Like Neocities, this is a nice option for a website and matching handle.

I tried the @neocities.org subdomain Bluesky handle, and it was easy to set up with the built-in site settings on Neocities and the "no DNS panel" option on Bluesky. This would be great for someone who doesn't have a custom domain to set up a personal website and have a matching Bluesky handle.

So far I've tried domain name and subdomain handles using the DNS txt record with no problem. I've also switched back to my original default username, then to a domain handle again.
