In this hands-on workshop, participants will:

• Install OnionPress on their own laptops and have a live onion site within minutes
• Publish a blog post and share files through the My Creations gallery
• Follow each other's sites via RSS over Tor, forming a small social network with no central server
• Discuss the architecture: how WordPress + Tor + Wayback Machine fit together in a single app bundle, and the tradeoffs involved (uptime, discoverability, performance)

OnionPress is built on entirely familiar technology (WordPress powers much of the web), but recombines it to eliminate every intermediary between you and your audience. There is no server to rent, no terms of service to accept, and no kill switch. If your laptop is open or closed-- your posts are available.

The session will also cover what's next: decentralized accounts, friend-to-friend file mirroring (backing each other up), vanity .onion addresses, and connecting OnionPress sites into a decentralized directory, hosting others on your OnionPress servers, running a RaspBerry Pi as a community node.

Who should attend: Anyone interested in censorship-resistant publishing, self-hosted web infrastructure, or just curious about Tor onion services. No technical background required — if you can install a Mac or Linux app, you can host your own, if you have another laptop you can have a site on anyone else's OnionPress. Bring a laptop.

What participants take home: A working personal website, reachable from anywhere in the world via Tor Browser, running entirely on their own hardware.

Space/equipment needs: Laptops, WiFi, Projector, Power for a Raspberry Pi would be helpful.
