handy! Where does it pull the data from?
That is so cool!! I need to learn more Javascript but then I worry about my website being too loaded down?
I finally started to implement all this coding Iāve been learning on my professional artist website, itās still in the early stages but Iām pretty proud of it so far. (Just ignore me doxxing my name, itās not totally disconnected from this āpersonaā anyway. lol)

How do you get your watercolors to look good on screen? I always have trouble with the lighting on mine when I scan or photograph them.

I (finally) made a longer blog post, which was about some detail of a newspaper article, and added a (autoplay) music. It was my second time dabbling on JavaScript.

I have no idea lmao Some of those are photos, some are scans. I usually edit them a little after I can them. I struggle with it too honestly.
In my case it grabs all the data at build time, so the website doesnāt need to run any JS, it just automatically hard codes it for me 
It pulls it from the OpenLibraryAPI via its ISBN. Feel free to adapt my code to whatever you need if you want CaffeineAndLasers.github.io/isbn-search.js at main Ā· CaffeineAndLasers/CaffeineAndLasers.github.io Ā· GitHub

i added a disclaimer to a few of my blog posts making the reader aware i was withdrawing from medication while i had written them. i donāt expect many people to understand the importance of that disclaimer. iām not walking back or editing any thing in those posts. but they are written the way the are because of the way my mind was trying to function without medication it was expecting. and i think if anyone comes across those posts in the future thatās important context to have

ah, super handy! Iāve been wondering if thereās an alternative to worldcat, for linking to books without linking to amazon 
or some country-specific store the way I usually see.
made a page for my sims 3 legacy challenge!! first one iām ever doing as well, and itās been a hoot so far (warframe kinda is distracting me from it though)

changed my blogās url structure to make it tidier, had to wrangle with timezones a bit but got it to work! now blog urls are neat little post dates (im never writing more than one blog a day) instead of long-ass slugs of blog title thats a pain to link
wow that card looks basic but whatever
ive also changed the home page css a bit and from now on i set my mind to stop working on site looks but focus on actual blog content
That was a great read! The Sims 3 is such an insane game, and I love reading through legacy challenges. I canāt wait to see what shenanigans Vanessa gets up to!

Loving all the wonderful things you are all creating. Iāve managed to grab a bit of focus time and start working on a few things across my website.
While re-organising my feed reader, Iāve split my Blogroll from the Links page. Iāve ditched the ācardā layout and going for a design with an easier flow. Itās still a work in progress and I have a bunch of links to add/remove across both pages.
Iāve completely revamped my Bookmarks page. Similar to the links pages above, ditching the card layout for a streamlined list in reverse chronological order. Iāve also added a tagging system to allow some easier browsing. Lots of overlapping in the tags, they also work for when cross-posting to Mastodon.
On all three pages Iām playing around with different colour combinations so these will change over the next couple of days. Iām also playing around with the spacing between the elements and looking to add some visual separation.
Once Iāve figured all that out, Iāll move onto revamping the Posts page. I also want to re-organise the tagging with a mix of six top-level categories and use the tags for more granular sorting.
I picked up a few records from a bargain bin sale and added them to the collection, Amelia, Honor The Light, and A Lighter Shade Of Blue. Canāt wait to actually listen to them.

Today I recoded the CSS for the homepages and made it rely more on PHP for navigation. Added animated bubbles to the background. I wanted to focus more on using image-borders over background-images because they are more flexible in the long run.
I also coded a Second Life page. I used to have one years ago but killed it. Itās nice to have it again better and PHP powered!

Lots of small changes on my home page. I streamlined my credit toggle, added a photo widget from @ribose, and changed buttons and text.

I made a guides site and started a terminal tutorial inspired by @Grubdog 's Self-Hosting Prerequisites thread. Iām hoping itāll end up being a useful primer for people who want to learn their way around the terminal for self-hosting, but I have a fair amount left to write.
Selfishly, I wanted to see if I could get a terminal embedded on a webpage and that was a fun project.
