bleugh

I have made such a mess of my shrines page code that I think I need to just completely rewrite it... but that will be a problem for later me. as is, at least I don't think it completely explodes on smaller screen sizes, but it is not great on anything other than what it was made on (1920x1080). ah well, I need to move on to new things for my sanity. it's finally linked from my homepage!

learning...

still fiddling around and getting to know how img-fluid acts today as I keep poking at my minishrines page. learned how to make position: relative and position: absolute work for adding stickers a little bit, using some sneaky inspect-element on spiritcellar's absolutely amazing website. also discovered this incredible resource on their links page and I think my life may be changed.

first art gallery draft complete

finally got my own art up on this website! :) it's actually so nice to see it all there... I just used the same basic setup as my comms gallery, but used the grid layout I've been learning with my shrines page to display my little lineart designs. also worked on keeping my images compressed so the whole website can stay small. new tool I learned with this page is the carousel plugin with bootstrap! it was kind of a hot mess and I think I might now be using two versions of bs (bs indeed) but that's okay it works lol

second fully handmade page done!

it's a little goofy to create the code diary as my second full page, but... it's okay! I coded this one entirely by hand with just brief references to the bootstrap documentation and w3 schools.
in this page I reinforced the use of align-items-center and justify-items-center, and I think I'm getting better about a cleaner use of the container class. I'm trying to make a floating sidebar, but it's not quite working... for now I am doing some weirdness with a container for these blog posts that is mostly doing what I want.

oh my god

I'm working on making my shrines page and am actually fighting for my life with these responsive image sizes. it's past 1am so I finally just gave up and removed one of them lol. one day I will figure out how to stack two images within a column without there being a massive fucking gap in between them... one day. in the meantime, rip zelda switch png you were cute but the popup is funnier.

first from scratch page!

I'm really pleased with my first fully handwritten page, the comms gallery! I am not completely satisfied with how the columns and rows are interacting but I am okay with it for now. I really fought with the img-fluid class in this one, but I'm actually pretty thrilled with how that turned out. someday I'd like to make it so that the images can be clicked on for a higher res view (maybe using the thumbnail class?) but for now this is pretty good. I also want to figure out if there's a cleaner way to change the link colors... I just did it with a style tag in the head but that seems so weird to me lol. I know custom colors with bootstrap isn't really the way to go and I should probably be using something else but... it's what I started with so we'll work with it. at least I'm finally getting better about not editing my code directly in the neocities editor!!
