Now that I have a bit of my braincells back, I've been thinking about how this place should look like. It's a bit of a mess to some degree (especially the code) and a lot of placeholder border boxes are currently being used, but I guess the fear is due to trying to scale said boxes correctly. And we all know what will happen, it'd be a pain in the arse
It has been quite the learning experience though. I have started to feel immense fear as to putting my random crap on the internet. I mean who bloody cares? There isn't even a comment system, but I feel like despite all the technicalities behind it, it really doesn't feel... that artsy I guess?
I removed the background though, it felt off putting, and on the original image it looked fine, but when it's scaled up to stretch across a screen, it looks horrendous, out of place, etc. etc.
I've even tried changing font colours to be a bit more readably, change things up, tried adding more, faint backgrounds to separate boxes. I think simply putting off all the image work I want to do for custom looking borders and icons and text, just like the front page's title card just kills my motivation. It's like taking all of the good parts about HTML and CSS and throwing it out of the window
That, and neocities really doesn't like 1k sized images. It takes forever to load for the first time, and I feel like new viewers shouldn't have to sit through 10 seconds of unresponsive loading.
Hell no! Even if I'm not the best, I can still do a damn good job, and honestly, I'm proud of the fact I achieved this stupid thing. Even if this posting system isn't perfect, it gets the job done, and I appreciate its work.
