Choosing Clarity on the Web

Over the last few years, the internet has become louder, stranger, and harder to navigate. Every site feels like a mystery box. Some pages hide tracking scripts behind friendly colors, others sink into ads or unmoderated chaos, and a few genuinely try to make the web better.

I’ve been thinking a lot about that — about clarity, trust, and the way we signal what kind of space we’re creating.

So I added something new to this site today: Web Clarity Ratings (WCR).

Visit Unified Web Standards Council.
It’s a simple, open rating system that tells you — and anyone else wandering through — what this site is and what it isn’t.

For r0zzin.com, I chose:

WCR-T — meant for teens and adults.
Nothing explicit here, but the topics can get deep: creativity, chaos, burnout, hope, imagination, and the long, weird road of building things.

Descriptors:
BLOG, TTRPG, UGC-LIGHT, TRACKING-LIGHT
A fancy way of saying: this is a writing space, a worldbuilding lab, and a place where I show my process without drowning everything in ads or noise.

Why bother with any of this?
Because the web doesn’t have to be confusing.
Because transparency feels better than hiding the gears.
And because if I’m building worlds — stories, systems, tools, and little sparks of chaos — I’d rather build them in a way that’s clear and honest.

If you run a site, consider adding WCR yourself.
The more creators who embrace clarity, the easier it becomes to build spaces where people feel safe exploring.

And if you’re just stopping by: welcome.
You’re always invited to wander the paths I’m building… just watch for the sparks. They tend to jump. ✦
