Another update!!! I added a credits section to the homepage so I could link all the resources I've used to make this website. I also linked a bunch of stuff like layout makers & pages to help with CSS & html.
Designing to distract myself from the horrors!!!!!!!!! I added a dark mode/light mode toggle, a minesweeper clone I found on github, a guestbook, a playlist of my most recently listened to tracks on TIDAL, & some hidden easter eggs. I'm having so much fun with this & I wonder if I can convince any of my friends to make an old web personal website like this again >:)
Allison made a special nest for me to get comfy and do computer on today. I have spent hours coding and adding little tweaks to the website. You can now toggle between dark mode and light mode! I also added this little updates section for microblogging. I couldn't remember how to use light javascript, so I looked up my websites from when I was a teenager and inspected the code on them. It was actually so nostalgic and fun! I can't believe 15 year old me taught 40 year old me something genuinely kinda hard. Forgetting isn't so bad if you can learn it all over again.
I designed this website because I am hopelessly nostalgic for the way things used to be online. I miss the wide open web. I miss the parts of the internet that were used to foster community. I miss the way we could be vulnerable online before social media. I miss when tech represented possibility and connection instead of surveillance and destruction. I miss going to my friends' websites! I made this website to express myself, connect with other people, and feel good online the way I did as a teenager. Welcome to my page!
