Entry #1 : Excited To Be A Webmaster!
4th September, 2025
Ahh, I'm so excited to be writing this on a website of my own! I've always wanted a website!!!
I can't believe that after 3 years of messing around with html and giving up, I'd have a website within
2 days because of an unexpected coding frenzy!
It's a funny story, actually. I think I was scrolling on Pinterest when I came across a pin that went
something like: Click here to view my personal website! and I was like
'Woah, I completely forgot I wanted to have one.' And so I decided I was going to get back on
neocities and work on the website I'd abandoned all those years ago!
I completely went into focus mode, searching the web and opening forgotten bookmarks. I had some
leftover experience with layouts from my terminated spacehey blog (Mods, I want a word with
you! You terminated that blog for nothing!) so I set about searching for html templates. After
some searching, I came across this reddit comment which linked to
ribozone's GitHub and that was my big break! I saw
opportunity in their
cyanobacteria layout and went
straight to work!
I didn't have school the next day so I spent about 8 hours or so just coding and combing through web
resources and stuff. Whew! The first night I completed the index and 'about' page. The next day, I spent
nearly the same amount of time doing the rest of the website. Wa-hoo! I even made my
own blinkie and
button in MS Paint! (Side Note: I
went through quite some trouble to make them. I have no knowledge on gif making and I am too stubborn to
learn so I just drew the frames in MS Paint, put it together in Canva, and resized + cropped using some
random gif maker website)
