I have a very fond memory of "specialty" websites that were halfway between a personal blog and encyclopaedia about very narrow (and somewhat random) topics.
They were/are mostly maintained by a single person or small group of people who often have very little clue on how to make a website.
Between social media and big commercial websites I have seen a lot fewer of them in recent years. What are your favorite?
Examples:
A website about diamond willow stick making: http://www.sticksite.com/
A great resource about everything around rock tumbling:
https://rocktumbler.com/questions.shtml
A wonderful website for learning piano:
