Nothing wrong with that! My approach is generally to style elements first, and only use classes for particular situations.
Decided it was time for a medium site rennovation, finally putting in a dark mode and making it default. I still really like catpuccin themes though, so the pink and purple is here to stay
I added a bit of an experimental page where Iām just playing with CSS as a medium. Itās centered around the painting āLamia and the soldierā by John William Waterhouse and was a very fun little project :)) suprisingly difficult to do parts of it, but I also surprised myself with how decent my CSS skills actually have become ā no part of the styling once the figure div was done took like, any time. As in it all took me my lunch break! Feels good haha
I added some new games to my directory on my forum and worked on some backend changes.
Itās been a while since I added any new games as Iāve been slacking on that lately, lol.
I resumed working on my website after a six month hiatus from tinkering. I was half way through a redesign but have since decided I donāt quite like what I had done and have spent last night and today reworking it into something I do like.
I added a Halloween playlist to my jukebox feature. ![]()
One reason we started this site was to provide an example of a skateboarding site that isnāt just an āaccountā on YouTube or some social media site.
Love it ![]()
One of the first things I did as soon as I entered hibernation this year was revisit my site to see if there some tweaks I could make, aesthetically or functionally. Turns out: a lot. The āv2.1ā update of that site will be coming soon. It is a very natural aesthetic evolution of the current site, and it is without question the nicest looking site Iāve ever made.
Just today, Iāve realized that I have actually put too many features in this update, a first for me. The features would have helped from an accessibility standpoint in theory, but were far beyond what was necessary and caused everything to be more complicated than normal, and made it less enjoyable for me to work on the site. So I have, for the first time, had to remove a number of features to lighten the load. Itāll also knock a few things off my gigantic TODO list because⦠theyāre not relevant anymore.
This is exciting! I donāt skate these days but Iām always in awe of skateboarding, so Iām looking forward to a whole zine about it!
I initially wanted my web presence to mostly use only two colours, including any assets and art. I added a couple of images that break this rule, one to the siteās main page and the other to my about page. I think I kind of hate it so Iāll probably undo it
I struggle to think of what next I want on my website, but then I thought Iād like to create a sort of deep timeline of the world, going through all the geological periods and briefly explain what happens in them.
Iām pooped and I havenāt reached the Triassic yet. I donāt actually know a lot about these early creatures so itās turning into like a book report ( in that you come to learn the material by researching and reporting on it rather than knowing it outright ) lol, and I am struggling with finding creative commons license type illustrations to use for them. But it is kinda fun? Iām learning stuff? I donāt know. I just know I want it done but itās requiring a lot more out of me than I expected. I might have to just do everything briefly like cliff notes and then come back later illustrating my favorite topics about evolutionary concepts or events etc. Feels like too much to cover all the good stuff at once. // The whole thing scrolls vertically period to period with period progress bars on the side
This guy has an html family tree which I was pretty happy with. The other just pretty idk
i did the following to my blog at https://emma.ttywitch.dev
- added meta tags and an image
- added a favicon
- updated the homepage with some info
- added a light mode
Whoa, this is incredible! Is it online yet?
Thanks! It is not, Iām going to try to get all the period summaries finished so it doesnāt feel complete, then get it live! Iāve been working on it for like a week so I wanted to talk about it somewhere yet XD
moved entre sire from milano, italy to buffalo, ny!!
Iāve spent the last week converting my website so it no longer uses a static site generator, and instead stores everything in a database and renders it dynamically. (I just wrote a simple server in Go to do it, instead of trying to make an existing CMS work how I wanted; I may come to regret this decision when I want a way to edit posts that doesnāt involve writing SQL.)
Itās the exact opposite of the process I went through ~10 years ago, and there is basically nothing to show for the week-long process if you just look at the site. But I have plansā¦..
I put the timeline on my site, itās unfinished but I am a bit tired working on it for now https://kiwizoom.neocities.org/#timeline
i got a S/MIME cert so when/if i email you, your client will mark it as verified sender (or more precisely sign unecrypted messages. if we use pgp, pgp will both sign AND encrypt).
and also i have an pgp key on my contact page if someone wants to send an encrypted message!
I added a colophon page to my site and also moved my credits in there. I noticed I didnāt have 32bit.cafe among my links, so Iāve fixed that.
Now that Iāve decided to make my blog also work as my site for the time being, Iām tracking down and editing some images to decorate it. Iād been doing that for a future site and wanted my blog to be more minimalistic but whatever, I love prettifying everything!
i made a lil log of food since i like taking pictures of meals as memories. definitely not a fancy photographer so ⦠no aesthetic photos LOL
