🚧 What did you do to your website today?

[Leilukin]

Finally migrated my Stardew Valley mod list off Google Docs by creating a page for it on my website.

Separated my Bookshelf page into years, with a neat little book read count next to the year.

I might retackle my guest book seeing as my last one has been down for the past year or so…

every so often I find something new to do with one cat per day

• i have to thank @Leilukin for showing me how to make my RSS feed discoverable to feed readers for this site. now you can point your feed reader to https://onecatper.day rather than the full path to the rss.xml file and it will find the feed.

• i replaced the coolLabs google cdn replacement i was using for the two material icons with static svg files. it just seems like overkill for two icons that i could download as svgs

[carbontwelve]

That’s a good idea. Going to do the same.

Speaking of RSS feeds, I finally made one today

[starbreaker]

Added it to my feed reader.

today i worked mainly on https://numbpillled.neocities.org, and once again tried, tried some more, and tried a heck of a lot- and could STILL nott get my journal page integrated backend-wise with supabase… and i really really want to get that going on!! i cant figure out what the issue is, maybe tonight or maybe tomorrow- a solution will be discovered (hopefully so!)

but aside from that head scratcher- i was able to notice (thanks to someone complementing my personal page which prompted me to check it out in admiration heh) that some of my images and links were not displaying properly- and fixed those on my about page of the same website in question. i have also been toying with some new themes and widgets which i might be adding to my ko-fi (https://ko-fi.com/numbpilled) rather soon here. i had made it a goal to upload a new asset or theme daily and have unfortunately been a bit of a bum in that regard over the past couple days, but i shall get back on track!!

keep an eye out for the widgets i mentioned, they are like, really really really super cool ^_^

oh yeah, happy new year!~

I’m about ready to push the new version of my website to my main domain. Meantime, I prettied up the “about the author” section that shows on blog posts.

My HTML looks like this:

<div class="author-flex">
    <div>
        __PIC_JPG(author, 72, 72, [a picrew image of the author as he sees himself])
    </div>
    <div>
        <p>
            @@starbreaker is a writer by choice, a programmer by necessity, and a metalhead by the grace of the witch.
        </p>
        <p>
            He runs this website as a sacrament of defiance.
        </p>
    </div>
</div>

Don’t mind the M4 and sed macros.

My CSS looks like this:

.author-flex {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: row;
    gap: 1rem 2rem;
}

i’m pretty happy with baxter’s homepage now

you can see his redesigned site at https://thiscat.rocks

main changes include:

• much cuter
• a better understanding of code behind the scenes as i’ve learned more since making this site

I finally created my photo section, now I have to curate the hundreds of pictures I have and gradually add them to it.

I just uploaded the new version of my website to https://starbreaker.org. It took a while to get everything the way I wanted, but I’m pleased with it.

I’ve also updated my 2024 in rock post. Instead of a textual table of contents, I’ve got an album cover gallery with links around each image.

I used CSS grid here. The code goes like this:

.gallery-flex {
    display: grid;
    gap: .5rem 2rem;
    grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
}

Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

So I finally did something big today after months of procrastination. I revamped my about me page in cosy diner to be a little more mobile responsive. It’s not perfect, but it mostly works, and you can see all the important stuff. I made the switch from grids to flexbox (altho, I hope in the near feature I can learn to use both, together)

Also made a few changes in the paragraphs and stuff I like to reflect who I am now. I’m kinda idk proud of myself for accomplishing something I didn’t think I was gonna improve on; being flexboxes (Thanks @manuelmoreale for helping me out)

Added the categories feature to my blog entires so far, Yarns and Trailheads (or ‘essays’ and ‘linkblogs’)

Not in love with the term yarn, but I couldn’t think of a better category name for the longish blog entries atm that fit my western vibe I’m going for. Maybe it will change in the future. I need to see if I can add a category for the microblog posts too, that could be useful to have each possible entry in a separate category.

What about “tall tales”?

[n3verm0re]

What about a category named something like “Frontier”? Maybe “Homestead” for local essays.

I came up with an open graph cards template for my website.

Here’s the default card for posts and pages that don’t have one:

This is the one for my most recent blog post:

[hedy]

these look amazing. do you generate them programmically? what did you use to create them?

[starbreaker]

Thanks, @hedy. I created these by hand with the GIMP (great tool, terrible name unless you’re an adolescent Tarantino fan).

The source file is at https://git.sr.ht/~starbreaker/starbreaker.org/tree/3bcb9101161a0d80aa69c227e1158a5e4d653ac8/item/open-graph-card.xcf but you need GIMP 3.0rc2 to open it.

I should figure out how to automate creating these cards through GIMP or ImageMagick.

I ended up on the literal other side of the world when I intended to launch my new website and I’ve been a wee bit distracted, but it’s up!
