Added some actual content! my first blog post, im still tweeking out the formatting but it feels good to have just somthing on the site that isnt just TEST TEST 123
I noticed the editor has been reverted back to how it was before, i will miss the auto-fill but am glad to have my colour theme back and the annoying floating sidebar thing gone!
updates will probably be limited to small things like this until next week due to prior commitments.
There wont be a whole lot of updates today, as i am going to be celebrating with my Girlfriend and I am just updating now in a insomnia fueled frenzey but i did learn how to add custom fonts, I removed the Dev log posts from the homepage as they are all moved to here now. I added a temp Birthday homepage for fun I was hoping the site would have been a little more functional by today but it is starting to resemble somthing that looks like a website even if there is still so much more to do i removed the custom cursor from the homepage as it was being a little buggy when i was testing the links i broke yesterday Also the code editor on neocities has changed when i logged on my theme was all diffrent, there was a weird preveiw of the code on one side and now there is auto-fill while you are typing for diffrent elements
However the auto-fill is actually really useful and somthing that i had considered going to an external editor for so this is a nice quality of life update
I am starting to get used to the preveiw in the side bar being there, but every so often it annoyingly catches my eye
i hope i will get used to it as i continue working on the site but it did catch me offgaurd when everything had changed and there was nothing to tell me that this was the case
Im really excited to start working on my WTD page and my Collections page, I have been on a physical media hyperfixation alongside discovering neocities and creating personal websites i Have seen people create really cool ways of displaying their collections and i really want to start to impliment these things so i can start to actually have some real content on here
Im also working on a art project through october creating ATCs on a pack of playing cards i did an Anime themed one for October 1st but todays one will have to be birthday themed for sure im not sure if this will go under art or collections or both? there really are so many things to think about just to have some basic content up and it is a little overwhelming. Anyway - Catch you all tomorow this birthday party needs to get the show on the road, and i demand cake
If you are reading this then you can probably already tell by the heading and the swanky new page that today i added the Devlog page to document my process in making this website and learning to code
Added Dev page using the frame work that i used for the blog page
found that the posts werent posting in the Div and were just plain black text
realised i had forgotten to set the peramerters for the dev post divs
coppied in the one from the blog page - annnnnd everything is in a line instead of a collum ???
Set Flex container to collum
coppied the logs over from the home page and.... its broken black text again
copy over the test posts from the blog page
They work?
re add the logs and its broken again - there must be a typo in the code here somewhere
rework the logs into my spaghetti code and now its working Horray!
Whoops in setting up some things and sorting out the Navi bar i broke the WTD link, had to go through every page and edit the links on the navi bar but ive fixed that now i hope
I am finding coding this site rewarding when i can solve problems i didnt even know i could cause but its also really intresting how easy it is to make a fucky-wucky
tested all the link backs between pages and they seem to work
added photo to day one post of how the site first looked hehe - now everyone can enjoy just how basic this baby was after 7 hours and how little code i knew
first things first i have reordered this section so the new posts are at the top so you dont need to scroll to see what is new Yay! It should make it easier when i am moving all this over to its own dev log page too which i am working on soon
Added Wreck this deck page -WTD is a solo RPG by becky annison /Black amarda games that i have been following for a while
changed the theme and colours on the WTD page to better match the themes of the game.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
its pretty basic right now with just some place holder text to test the formatting.
I started working on some art to put on the home page too, i just need a solid day to really sit down and add in all the things i have been working on in the background.
On another note ive been gathering cute blinkies, gifs, and stamps to gather up and put on my page as there isnt much of an update today here is some sushi
Tomorrow i think i will work on moving al of this to its own Dev log page and have each section as its own post, it will be a good way to test out the blogging format too
Seeing as i have gained a couple of followers i have also added some of the things i am likely to post about to the tempory about me box
I also need to see about adding some kind of geust book on here ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
but i digress. today i have a couple of goals for the webpage. get some links working to diffrent pages on the site and create some more pixel assessts. depending on how long that takes me i might take a look at actually formating this text so it looks good instead of just a box of bland defult text and maybe some other things on my list too. its my birthday next week so maybe i will make a digital birthday party page for funsies
I added the navi bar and styles to all the pages so now all the pages can link back and forth nicely
I also noticed that this middle div was getting rather full so i have figured out how to set it to scroll the diary text might not be there yet so i tested it with some good old fashion Lorem Ipsem and it scrolled just like i wanted i am going to have to add make a cute scroll bar to my list of things to do now
moved the to do over to the div on the right hand side, but now my code is angry about the div ending too soon and i dont know why i swear coding is like trying to tame a wild animal you cant move too suddenly or it will get angry, you have to let it think that it is in control.
it sensed i had figured some things out so now it is like ahha! lets throw a spanner in the works this site might be pretty janky still right now but its my little janky space and i love it
i also havent figurred out how to line up this section with the "about me" box - ive tried float, grid and flex and nothing seems to be working right i am going to have to go back through the code and figure out where i am going wrong.
i feel kind of silly its taken me all day but i was so happy when i saw those little boxes all line up - i even added a 3rd box on the other side for good measure hahah!
added back in the Navi, its just static images in a Div atm but i will try linking it all up tomorow. i still have more graphic elements to make too i have been using Aseprite for making the buttons I have been using guides frorm Sadgirl who i also got this background from and will set up a proper link page soon and W3school to get the Html basics down ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
there is alot i need to do, I hyperfixated and spent 7hours on this totaly basic as heck page check back soon
