Nifty! Today I got rid of a redundant app (that will free up storage and CPU on the hosting account), reorganized the site menu accordingly and added a new page stub: https://nosycat.notimetoplay.org/programming.html
After moving melvian.net between three different setups (with custom CMSes), I have gone back to an SSG (Hugo this time) and am nearly ready to complete this new site and officially launch it.
Hugo is definitely not perfect but Iām tired of fiddling with tools, itād be nice to have a not half-broken site for once. Itād be nice to have a version of the site I can actually edit. And Iāll be able to focus on my more important projects.
maybe more on the technical side of things but iām checking out bunny.net
at first i wanted to just try it for DNS. as i wanted to move away from cloudflare which Porkbun uses for DNS. i couldāve used nearly free speechās name servers, but the idea of having dns separate got my curiosity so iām doing the 14 day trial bunny offers
for fun iām tryng out the CDN as well since i really doubt emmas.place will chew through the free credit
I added a bunch of links/pages/icons/CSS to my site over the weekend (itās in the changelog if you really want to know), but by far the most profound and relevant change is that I paid the internet Cat Tax.
finally getting around to adding an rss feed or maybe even just starting a brand spankin new site just for blogging purposesā¦? indecision all around me⦠i decisively updated my site nolove.neocities.org with a link to my ko-fi in the margins, so thereās thatā¦
ā¦any tips on integrating a zonelets style blog on an already established site? their tutorial assumes you are just starting your entire website instead of already having one (i hope this makes sense!)
Thatās what I did - I had my site up and running and then decided to use Zonelets. From their FAQ:
I already have a Neocities site, and Iām not on the Supporter Plan so I canāt make multiple sites. Can I use Zonelets but also keep my existing content?
Yes! Just be careful not to overwrite your files with the Zonelets files! Put all of the Zonelets files in a folder (subdirectory) called āblogā or something. Then, if you link to āblogā from your home page, itāll open up your Zonelet! (Be sure you have Zonelets version 1.1 or newer!)
Put a very simple about page on my site (see button) to include a new widget from yaygender.net, a website I discovered on @dojaās website from their introductory post.
As The Fanlistings Network finally lists and links to my fanlisting for computer programming, my computer programming fanlisting is now officially launched!
i added a tiny ālast playedā line to my homepage, which fetches my data from listenbrainz!
i used to have a last.fm one, but i removed it (it was using marquees and i wasnāt sure how to tweak it otherwise). this new one isnāt as fancy as my previous one, but i still think itās cute!
I took down my art gallery for now. Donāt worry, that doesnāt mean Iām not making art anymore! I just want a fresh start.
I redesigned the homepage of my blogging app today. Iām hoping it makes it clearer what the product is and how it works. You can see the full page at https://pagecord.com but hereās a screenshot of the headline and initial copy.
I should probably A/B test it but I donāt really get enough traffic for that to be effective!
I have about 20 other headlines that Iād like to try, but Iāll give this one a few weeks and see how it goes
I felt like my personal startpage could be more useful and interesting, so I added a bunch of links/buttons and some storytelling.
Iām amused. (We do not discuss what I did on Deep Space 7.)
I had so much fun clicking the links to see what they referred to. This is wonderful!
This blew me away the first I saw it. Iām no Star Trek fan (I have nothing against it, I just havenāt watched it lol), but I could tell right away your love of it from how well you paid attention to its graphic design through these little details.
That aside, itās amazing on its own. The little sidebar on the right? MWAH 10/10
I know what thatās like.
What happens in Lothlorien stays in Lothlorien.
Just added a page about SVG, including a new illustration I drew today and a usage tip: Nosy Cat Studios: SVG
I redid my whole color scheme! I also recently made an images gallery to show off all my art.
made some progress with uploading stuff i had on filegarden onto neocities proper - not done yet because itās very tedious and i canāt upload audio files, but nearly!
Last night, I handwrote an RSS feed for my Testing Free Website Hosts page. I was so excited when it verified, that I added the verified buttons to my footer.
I used this article: Roll Your Own RSS
I have added buttons to copy code snippets to pages with code blocks. You can see examples on my article about accessible footnotes and my page for responsive Disability Pride flag CSS background code snippet.
I borrowed the code to implement the buttons from ttntmās article āAdding a Copy Button to Code Blocksā, but I added the button after the code block element instead of before it,
(Note that JavaScript needs to be enabled for the buttons to appear and function)
