🚧 What did you do to your website today?

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 I’m tired of fiddling with tools, it’d be nice to have a not half-broken site for once. It’d be nice to have a version of the site I can actually edit. And I’ll be able to focus on my more important projects.

maybe more on the technical side of things but i’m 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 could’ve used nearly free speech’s name servers, but the idea of having dns separate got my curiosity so i’m doing the 14 day trial bunny offers

for fun i’m 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 (it’s 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 purposes…? indecision all around me… i decisively updated my site nolove.neocities.org with a link to my ko-fi in the margins, so there’s that…

…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!)

That’s 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 I’m not on the Supporter Plan so I can’t 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 ā€œblogā€ or something. Then, if you link to ā€œblogā€ from your home page, it’ll 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 @doja’s website from their introductory post.

i added a tiny ā€œlast 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 wasn’t sure how to tweak it otherwise). this new one isn’t as fancy as my previous one, but i still think it’s cute!

I took down my art gallery for now. Don’t worry, that doesn’t mean I’m not making art anymore! I just want a fresh start.

I redesigned the homepage of my blogging app today. I’m hoping it makes it clearer what the product is and how it works. You can see the full page at https://pagecord.com but here’s a screenshot of the headline and initial copy.

I should probably A/B test it but I don’t really get enough traffic for that to be effective! :face_holding_back_tears:

I have about 20 other headlines that I’d like to try, but I’ll give this one a few weeks and see how it goes :smile:

I felt like my personal startpage could be more useful and interesting, so I added a bunch of links/buttons and some storytelling.

I’m 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. I’m no Star Trek fan (I have nothing against it, I just haven’t 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, it’s amazing on its own. The little sidebar on the right? MWAH 10/10

I know what that’s like.

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 ttntm’s article ā€œAdding 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)
