concepts for my homepage:

• Bayou/houseboat theme - cool reds and greens? wood-y texture for the content box?
  • kinda wanna make a hanging lights/chili lights divider for the top of the website and maybe emulate a deck or something for the footer?
• alternatively, go a bit minimalist in design so that the images i use aren't overwhelming? my idea is to keep the site relatively dark so that my button still accurately represents the vibe.. alternatively, i could make another button.

I am NOT gonna waste my night doing that though. My nights are for Hades II these days and that's THAT!!!

Back in the design spiral. Planning on designing a landing page to put my little disclaimers about my pages being desktop only/nsfw, and maybe slap my button on there? Trying to figure out places for my buttons to go in general i guess. It's so hard to create cohesive web design. This is the era of embracing cringe but I still wanna, yknow, make something that looks visually cohesive.
moved my logbook to this page though! i kind of worry my website is getting a little too disco elysium-derivative but.. y'know, that's a good looking game. also, idk! I think having a more calm approach to pages of this nature, that are REALLY text heavy, is probably good. this is relaxing. it's nice. :)

EDIT: I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WEB DEV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GONNA TRY AND BUILD A PAGE WITH IFRAMES TODAY WISH ME LUCK!!!
This is REALLY unknown territory but I love the look of iframe based websites. It's just gonna be my OC catalogue but.. y'know.

Oh YEAH!!! also i updated my ARCHIVE page! It's kind of superfluous and unnecessary but it's a nice simple layout and i think it's pretty. i don't think i could ever code layouts just because i don't take enough consideration for how the web is displayed on multiple devices/for people with visual disabilities, but man is layout making fun. I! LOVE! DIVS!
Oh with all that said, though, go look at my archive!

EDIT: ALSO! I wanna learn tooltips and scrollsnapping. Scrollsnapping seems like SUCH a pain in the ass though...

WORKED ON MY LIBRARY PAGE!! do youj like it. i spent all day on it :) which is a large amount of time for a comically small amount of progress but y'know! thats really fine with me actually. i haven't written a page in a bit and i went into it knowing what i wanted aqnd i think i've done a sufficient job thus far.
my waver shrine continues to go ignored LMAO. I guess my biggest struggle is conceptualizing what I want with it. I wrote ALL that text but i wanna preserve only very little of it. WE'LL SEE!

HAPPY CINDO DE MAYO! YYEEHAW! All prior entries moved to my archive. It's gonna be is MAY!
ANYWAY!
I'm entering a strange stage of webdesign dysmorphia, similar to how i felt when i was on tumblr (REMEMBER WHEN TUMBLR LET YOU CUSTOMIZE YOUR BLOG?), where I want EVERY page of my website to look the same but all look vastly different but conform to my aesthetics but look also like all my favorite sites. Right now I'm turning toward inspirations like my-corner.nds and 14.4mL for inspiration. REALLY incredible site design. COULD NOT BE ME!!! I am anachronistic AND lazy and if NOTHING else and I suppose I should embrace that. also desperately wanna figure out how to make a Silly Little Guy sit on my website in a vein similar to madville's rei. Embracing aesthetics of late 90's early 2000s anime shrine sites is SO HARD! they have SUCH a specific look and on the one hand i desperately wanna emulate that but on the other hand i wanna DO my own thing and on my third hand i dont know how to write anyway and on my fourth hand theres such an opportunity to learn but on my fifth and final hand i am once again lazy by sheer force of nature. WHEW!
the idea, though, of making web collages is very cool. i wanna put GRAPHICS! on the PAGES!
if nothing else, I mostly handwrote this page and my archive page, and while not very impressive or original, they are proof i have learned something. taking a break has kind of sent me back to the beginner realm (similar with my learning japanese... bro remember when i could read japanese sentences with a bit of effort?) and it's all so HARD! i wish learning was a state of ownership, rather than one of perpetual upkeep.

Oh right! updates updates. idk. i;m slowly getting back into the groove of neocities as a creative silly endeavor. i think really trying to fixate on an "aesthetic," instead of allowing my aesthetic sense to simply manifest naturally, maybe made this a bit too much of a job rather than a hobby LOL. tbh i'm having a LOT of fun just writing html laden pages though, so a frameset layout would be fun. fuck mobile friendly web design. bastard of hell technology. the compuyter is a PLACE.
i DO keep conceptualizing pages i wanna make but i dont' wanna make em. thats juat how it is in the dumpster on the back of the bus...

hahahaHAHAHA! finally did a bit of work on Waver shrine. Not *loads* and I'm not sure exactly how I want it formatted... in my head, it sort of looked almost like a wikipage? Idk. Either way, that's progresss babey! I'm kind of on fire with this writing business. Having a Single Little Sip of weed cola reset my brain. I'm grooving, baby! I'm kickin'!

I'm losing steam on this web design thing just a bit! I'm sure I'll get back into it in just a bit. I don't know why, really, but I've felt miserably drowsy like all week :( I REALLY wanna get to work on my Wavey shrine... waugh. It all still sort of exists in the back of my mind. I'm constantly making new backgrounds and little graphcis without much use for them. I wonder if a creations page wouldn't go amiss? ...After the Waver shrine tho.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAYBE I SHOULD NEVER CODE AGAIN!!!!!!! MAYBE I SHOULD JUST JUMP OFF A BRIDGE!!!!!!!
Edit: Nvm I did it :)

WHY ARE YOU BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: Nvm normal again :) this really is just a coding log LMAO
i was SO angry about the world when i was going home i was like "i should just throw myself in the garbage!!" but now my website is fixed and i'm ALL normal.

Added buttons + links to the site. "Oh I'm working on waver shrine body text!" (huge lie)

Yippeee new page. Gonna double as a loose update log/diary AND as a blinkies and gifspam repository. NOBODY should care about this page except me lol
Tbh i REALLY don't know what I'll use this for but I wanted somewhere to put my blinkies lmao. Maybe once my index page becomes more of a generic landing page, this will get more use? who knows
