the website is actually coming together omg!!!
i am so happy with how much my neocities website has evolved since i only picked it back up again like, 3 days ago?? i think i have had my neocities account for a while but never evolved my actual site beyond the sadgrl layout maker defaults. but idk, something awakened in me on feb 4 and now my website and coding is my whole personality. my back has never forgiven me!!!
i also have done a little more on my own. my sitemap that i recently made was done entirely from scratch. it's dummy simple yes but i have never thought that i could DO this when i made my neocities account, much less tackle css styling all on my own without some kind of base to work off of.
of course i still have so much to learn that i will need to create more pages (my miitopia hc page is planned to be very ambitious, including some extra art i'll have to draw for it :,)) such as how to do a two column setup seamlessly and how to make that not be pissy on mobile (i think i learned a little bit of responsive css but for the most part i have been relying on copy-pasting stuff to be consistent).... but again i am leeeaaarning!!
current status of the website: that's pretty much it! i feel like i can realistically finish the basics of what i have planned for this website in 2025 (the year is young, after all). high chance my interest will fade over time but i don't wanna give up on the site entirely!
- main page has all the stuff that i want (i can always add more blinkies no problem ofc). still need a non-placeholder body for the main section but that's no prob!!
- about page needs body content as well but i also have mostly what i need there. i would like to add a similar scroll setup i have for my blinkies on the main page but for stamps on this page! (i kinda don't wanna fuck with the main page anymore with how volatile the layout i used is for mobile)
- art gallery just needs the individual art pages (gonna need to create the base for that first. which may require learning how to make columns LOLOL) but other than that i am very satisfied with it aesthetically and functionally. the octopath and evillious series need thumbnails that show off all the art in the series (evillious might be hard since it's an odd number lol). i wanted to figure out some kind of filtering system but with the base that i built off of that might overcomplicate things considerably, plus i don't think there's that much art there to really justify that lol!
- still need to make archives for the qotd and drawbox gallery. no one has really submitted anything for that yet but might as well prepare :P
- the interest page is currently a wip _ might gather some images to decorate it with. the individual shrine pages for the stuff that i like may take a WHILE, that is very low priority rn
- would definitely like to getting around to making the commissions page next! may complete it before the interests page
- i have a layout prepared for my oc page but i'm not sure how exactly i'm gonna go about doing it. might change the layout, might change what info i share, idk... very low priority
- miitopia page is even lower priority because it has a lot of work planned but i am excited to get to it!
at the very least, what i have now can be confidently promoted to the masses, and once i get the art commissions page up and running, i may replace my carrd entirely at this rate. wahoo!!!
ty to the small population following along with my little journey 😊
