I think it's pretty obvious -- start with no css or scripting of any kind and stick to basic formatting. Then argue for a few years about what's acceptable.

there is "small web" the umbrella term that means a lot of different things, and then there is the series that is "250kb club", "512kB club" etc. of websites that are all small which you might like! webrings are fun; some are content-oriented, some are circles of friends, others like this have technical requirements.

some people in my webring have very glittery sites that are definitely not small but are super expressive and i like that too. they feel a bit like personal art projects. this fits my idea of a "person-scale" internet: it's made by real people with hobbies, not businesses or social media personalities. small as in not trying to be big, not kB
