I finally got to doing my write up about web design sins! I'm really happy with how it turned out, so I implore you to go take a read and let me know what you think. Its a guide focused on smaller things that can be changed to make your website more legible and accessible. Let me know if you spot any errors or if you want anything added, I'm always happy to touch up things like this. Other than that though, most recent changes have just been updates to the links and playlist pages, and adding my weekly content to the journal- speaking of, I'm going to have a new entry up today, so keep an eye out for that. I also added a link to the article I wrote to the home page, right above us! It's also on the site map. I miiight do some other write ups in the future, if I can think of a topic- I might do a tutorial on how to make an animated cursor, but no promises. Happy Leap Day!

A small change was made, but it effected the entire site- I made the decision to axe the footer on all of the main pages. It was a bit of an eyesore, and didn't fit with any of the other parts of the layout. Since it was just my social media links, and those can be found on my Links page, I felt it was no serious loss. I also changed the corner radius on the whole layout so that only the edges facing outwards are rounded, making the whole site feel a bit more cohesive. I also made it so that on every page, the extras bar was shorter than the main content, which was also making me uncomfortable. Overall a few small changes that took a lot of effort, as well as some clean up in the back end. I'm planning on doing a write up soon of some web design sins I've seen and how to fix them- if you know of anything that can made a website harder to navigate or comprehend, you can either leave a comment on my neocities profile or send me an ask on my tumblr.

A couple of big updates! First of all, I updated the changelog to have some fun draggable images sprinkled throughout. I did this like, a week ago, and then forgot to do a write up on it here. Oops. I've also added a new page! No it was not any of the pages previously promised! I have a vocaloid playlist I enjoy listening to, but sometime struggle to remember the names of songs or look up the lyrics because they're in Japanese, so I made a page that was putting all that info down. I'm really happy with how it looks, and even though I had to redo all of the code for it at one point, it was a lot of fun. That page will get updates as I add more songs to the playlist, so check it out! The spotify playlist is also linked there.

The transzone is finally done! I finally hunkered down and wrote out the rest of the content. I might end up changing it up and make it a bit more design focused rather than the current style which is very text heavy, though I like having a place in which I can get all of my thoughts out. I took a couple of days to break from adding stuff to the site, but we're so back! I have plans for some more fun pages, including a page for my cat Cheeto, who's going to be staying with me for the next week, a page with my plushie collection, a page with my sticker collection (specifically the back of my laptop, which is insane), and a page for video games I've played/liked. If anyone has some more fun ideas for more pages I can add please drop me a line! I'm always looking for more fun things to do. Also, since it's the beginning of the month, I'll be removing all of the December updates from the home page, and they'll only be hosted on the changelog archive.

Worked a lot on the Dungeon Meshi Shrine! I went to go add a page for my review on the anime, and then realized that I wasn't super happy with it aestheically, and there were a bunch of errors, so I cleaned all of those up. I also used a new font for the header, which is a nice blackletter font, one of my favourite niche font sub-categories. I also added a page for my thoughts on each anime episode! Yay! I won't be recapping the episodes, or rating them, just saying how I feel and how they compare to the manga. I'm actually not caught up on the past couple episodes, so there are only two reviews up as of now. I'm planning on having 12 episodes reviewed per page, and once I get to the splitting point I'll just add more pages, that way it's a lot more organized. I took a break from coding for a couple of days, but I just wanted to thank everyone for 50k views- it truly means a lot to me that so many people have seen the project I'm working on and liked it enough to view it that many times.

01-24-2024

I worked a lot on the site today, but not a ton of it is front facing, a lot of it is back-end stuff. Firstly, I changed the code on the graphics page and journal page to instead use javascript and tabs to show off the content, rather than anchor tags. While this was slightly more annoying to implement and it means I can't link to specific pages within that page, it also means that there's no more scroll jumping when you click on stuff, which was really bothering me. I also rearranged some elements in the Links page to be more compact, there was wayyy too much deadspace there and it was stressing me out.

01-22-2024

I've finally started working on the transzone again! I've added a new page, cleaned up the format and graphics, and removed some content. I decided to remove the button for resources, since I was realizing that I really didn't have a lot of insider knowledge on that point. As for the page that was added, I added the essays section, with some of my favourite video essays about being trans and gender, and some that were generally about politics. I might add more as I go and discover more, but for now I'm happy with the spread there. As for plans, I'm planning on adding a section to the dunmeshi shrine talking about the anime! I have a few thoughts on it so far, especially as a fan of the manga.

01-17-2024

The Tarot Widget has been updated! I added all of the reverse pulls as well, which was a bit tedious but overall I feel like it was really needed. Thankfully, because of how the widget works, anyone with it doesn't need to do anything, since it's all on my end. I also added a new thing to the Journal page! In my actual real life journal, I keep a weekly log of a song I really liked that week, and the tarot card I pulled on that Monday. I really like that, and so wanted to add it digitally as well! I'll be updating it weekly, so keep an eye on it- I'm really happy with the layout, it turned out super cute.

01-13-2024

So, a few small changes, but they're large enough that I feel I should still talk about them here. Firstly, more has been added to the disc page (except for the, actual content), and I've made sure a ll the graphics from that page have made it to the Graphics page. More pressing though, I've redone the header! Goodbye spinning shark and rotating CD, you will be missed and probably reused elsewhere. I've replaced those with an animation done by my friend Cooper (check out their site here!), and if you click on the gif a little popup comes up crediting them. I also revamped the main header graphic. I changed the lineart from the harsh black, made it so the colours move from left to right instead of right to left, and slowed down the framerate. I was told it could be triggering for migraines, and since I've actually been getting them as well for the past week, it was becoming clear to me that it was an accessibility issue. I'm really happy with how it looks now though! Tomorrow I'm going to try and write up some of the content for the disc page!

01-12-2024

Started off on a new page!! I'm getting into burning discs, so I decided to make a page for that- the basic structure is done, but I haven't written any of the content yet. I also haven't added the page to the sitemap yet, so you'll have to find it on your own (hint: it'll be linked by a related image). I also got a huge influx of followers in the past couple days so I wanted to say thank you! Thanks! Oh, I also wrote up a new journal entry, fixed up some code in the back here, and added more graphics and links to their respective pages. Don't worry, I still haven't forgot about finishing the transzone page, I just got a bit stuck and so am taking a break, since it is pretty personal. I also wanted to thank everyone else here, who's served me a lot of inspiration in the past couple of days. I felt pretty stuck, and unsure of what I wanted to do, but after seeing a bunch of creative pages and really cool stuff, I've had new life breathed into me. Until next time!

01-05-2024

So, a couple of small changes- along with the usual infinite updating of my links and graphics pages, I've made a few more changes! Firstly, I designed a new site button! I'm not getting rid of the old one, don't worry, but I like the idea of having multiple buttons people can choose from, so if you have my older one on your site, don't worry about updating it. I also added a section to my gallery page for my most recent art- originally I wanted it to update automatically, but haven't found a way to do that and frankly it's just easier to do it by hand- check it out if you want to see some art of Miku!

Happy 2024! I hope everyone had a great new year's eve :]! As for changes to the site, I've added a webrings section to the links page as well as keeping them on the home page so I can give the widgets some room to breathe over there (they get a bit squished in my navbar here). I akso decided to move all of the changelog to a different page, and will keep this log with 2 months of changes (meaning all the November updates have been removed from here). Now when you scroll to the bottom of this very box, there's a link with the archive. This helps me keep the code for this page a bit leaner, and makes the changes easier to navigate. Also, I added a pixel drawing I made of my fursona, you can see him on the right. Anyways, I have some fun things planned for the website coming up, so here's to a strong start to the year!
