i added a video section to my front page to just share any videos i enjoyed watching recently, nothing too fancy
I added a light mode toggle button to the navigation bar and fixed the styling on small screens
Thanks! Iām planning to swap out that placeholder with one of my own drawings soon.
Added pages for a couple new (to me) pixel clubs! :3
A brand new custom typeface for my site, Melvian Serif, is now being used for the body text, while Melvian Sans continues to be used on everything else.
I rebuilt my site, Rhapsody and added some new pages. I always think itās strange, how it takes days to complete, then just a few minutes to upload.
Thatās a very pretty website!
itās been a lot of really small back-end stuff (tweaking CSS stuff, rehauling my entire folder layout which gave me a headache, new blinkies and what not), but i guess i can finally say i did something more āsubstantialā which is updating my /now page with just whatās been going on
i also figured out how to āunblurā my pixel font on firefox since it was driving me up a wall to have random letters just be blurry
Changed the title tag for my manatee shrine. I wanted it to say āsub-lunar sea, space manatee, singing to usā (a lyric from the song āSpace Manateeā by Heavenly).
But that didnt quite fit, so it just says āsub-lunar sea, space manateeāŖā.
Itās not my website, but I just discovered startpages (and the thread on this forum!) and Iām making one.
Added a ton of sticker graphics for Virtual Sticker Albums, and some buttons for Virtual Flair Collections!
- Updated Melvian Serif with improved g and @ designs, and smaller bold punctuation
- Redesigned & in Melvian Sans to be consistent with Melvian Mono
- Adjusted some links on the sidebar
- The image in the about page has been replaced with the new 3D rendition, the light mode background has been made a little darker to accommodate it.
I did a massive redesign to the styling of Caffeine And Lasers based around some of the images so kindly unearthed by @xixxii over in this thread
None of the content has changed, so it ended up being relatively easy to just mess with the CSS to change the entire vibe of the site.
EDIT: Turns out I completely broke it on mobile, so I had to roll back the changes temporarily lol
Reworked some of the what-goes-where on my site, added an about page and a cbox.
changing stuff under the hood hopefully its live again soon enough. this summer heat aint helping cos im sweating bullets.
I noticed that my RSS feeds probably werenāt getting compressed by Apache, so I updated .htaccess
to apply compression to the appropriate media types.
I also updated .htaccess
to deny access to the āHeadlessChromeā user agent. If scrapers canāt even be bothered to spoof their user agent string, then they deserve every 403 ābegone and be damnedā response they get.
With some help from @Ravenous creating a new filter and regex that allows me to cut down my Now page to take just the intro paragraphs from my Monthly Recap posts to display as my current āNowā.
Finally have time to fiddle around some, and so I updates some cosmetics that had been funky, as well as updating my ādiaryā for the 2nd time in 2025
ALSO excitingly, I FINALLY got my āsimple fontā button to work as I intended, changing the font to opendyslexic and making it bigger :)) I think the button placement/design may leave things to be desired, but I hope itās obvious enough to be useful for those who need it! Now to update all my other pages so they work too⦠haha
A contributor generously added an automatic dark/light theme to https://jointhefediverse.net, but I also tweaked the colors a bit, especially for the original dark theme, and switched up the fonts a bit.
Pretty happy with how it looks now!
Rather than continue to spam everyone in my life with chick pics, I made a chick baby book:
