Reflected on my site's guiding principle over the past year on neocities (create what only you can) and how much this little web dev hobby has enriched my life: https://lostletters.neocities.org/2023/10/18/one-year-neocities

Your halloween page is looking so delightfully festive! I was so happy to see a pumpkin for the community patch. I can't wait to see what everyone does with that template. :D I can't wait to trick or treat on your page!

Thanks for the follow and the kind guestbook message! I really liked the badge you have for dragon cave, so I will definitely have to add that to my site too. I clicked on all your dragons! Hope they hatch soon :)

Oh dang, thanks for linking to these resources on your latest blog entry! I'm still planning on using my 1 column layout for the responsive version of my website because I'm laz- busy, but these are really good links to have.

hard refresh for two new website themes: spoopy and purple plaid! Default is spoopy for halloween! 🎃 I also finally have a responsive 3-column design for desktop that shrinks to single column for small screens.

You can use a formula to calculate your font size based on the window size so it always looks readable. Feel free to rip it from my source code. I’m working on a blog post to explain everything I did and where I got code snippets from if you’re interested. This was much easier than you’d expect. I created all four layouts in just 2 days, and, if I can do it, anyone can. 💪

Hey Lost! Sorry for the delay, I was unable to find a way to contact you. I added a page for the 32bit Cafe halloween event with templates for my pixel club. https://cdworld.neocities.org/cdworld_event

love this guiding principle. definitely going to borrow it
I have had this exact same mindset for about two years now. I started much in the same way as you, just wanting something cute... and then created something that is truly my own!
Awww. Enjoyed this read.
Ohhh, this blog post genuinely touched me up! The honesty of your sentiments are really exciting, and have a way of reigniting excitement and passion too! What really resonated with me is the potential within yourself that you described, and how you were able to channel it into something you truly! It's so exciting to think about what dwells inside each person, if we give ourselves the patience and grace to try!! ♡♡
Thanks so much for the love on this post! I'm so happy it resonated. I love discovering sites that earnestly speak to a unique part of the author's life and experience. We all have that within us, and it's amazing that we all have websites where we can express that if we choose. I'm rooting for all of us!
