Reviving a charitable magazine first published in 1903.

The Whitwar magazine was first published by twelve year old Miss Gladys Evelyn Warren and her friends to raise money for the Little Folks Ward at the North Eastern Children's hospital in Bethnal Green, London. We are continuing her work.

Your New Editorial Team

I am a big proponent in life-long-learning; my interests include technology, data, genealogy and social history. I have a technology background and was coming of age in the mid-90s, witnessing the growth in popularity of the internet - think dial-up-modems, static websites, bulletin boards etc. and you'll understand where I'm coming from! Oh, I miss those days!

It took me far too long to realise that I had become tired with how I was spending my time online. Until recently, like most people, I was only visiting the same few websites and social platforms and would find myself in that endless loop of doom scrolling through the same feeds and ads. This realisation, and my nostalgia for the old internet led me to Neocities, which is what I have used to create and host this site. We are going back to basics and building a community without the algorithms and shady practices of the big corporations. I expect Neocities to be the perfect home for The Whitwar in 2026 and beyond; and we are very much looking forward to e-meeting our readers!

Neocities: Web 1.0 / IndieWeb inspired

I am trying to style this site in a Web 1.0 style whilst being respectful to the aims of the magazine. It's a balancing act between the plain and boring websites we see everywhere today; and the glitter and flashing animations of the 90s (which is what we really want, right.?) I love exploring Neocities, and highly recommend you go check out some other sites once you are done here. You'll find lots of original artwork and digital gardens, journals, fan pages and so much more. Exploring these sites forces you to step outside your usual circuit of familiar platforms and encounter something unexpected. Go and explore!
