Worked on a lot of stuff this month, although most of it is still not ready to be Witnessed lol. But!

• I successfully switched hosts! Now my index page is hosted at my main domain and my fansite is on my subdomain. I also made a page on my old Neocities to let people know the fansite had moved.


• I'm almost done making my fanlisting collective!! No link because it's not quite ready yet so I don't want people to look at it while it's still a WIP... I have the full layout done and most of the pages already planned. I put my OTP fanlisting on hold right now but I'm hoping to be able to apply at TFL soon so I can finish it this month, hopefully!


• Relatedly, I'm working on a little clique where you adopt pixel art of the Pokémon starters. It's also almost done; I took a break last night because I'd worked on it all day and I wanted to sleep on it. I managed to make it so you can switch from the regular pixel sprites to the shiny pixel sprites and I'm pretty happy with it haha.


• I've also been slowly hacking away at my personal site... My conflicting desires to have compact websites and good readability are always clashing LOL but I might end up just making separate layouts for my fic and art. I was thinking of using Kaylee Rowena's gallery template, because I (predictably) love how compact it ends up looking. I have so much art though... Just thinking about hosting it all feels so daunting.


• I wrote a little post on DW about planning web layouts! Nothing fancy or really that impressive, but I like talking about my process...

I also thought I'd drop a link to the links roundup my friend marinehaddock compiled after his Citrus Con panel in June! It has a lot of resources for webmaking.

(I need a webdev DW icon, clearly...)

I'm glad you've been getting so much done!
The Pokemon pixel art sounds lovely. I play a good amount of Pokemon go! ^^;;

Haha yes, it has kind of been my hyperfixation in the last three months at this point 😭!! Thank you!! I need to get back into Pokémon Go, I've been slacking off...

I hope you enjoy yourself if and when you get back into Pokemon go! :D

Ooo, I’m a newbie to HTML, so Kaylee’s template is giving me some direction, thank you ^-^

Glad it could help! It's really good! :D

Oooh, considering that one of my big blockers with my site at the moment is making my fanart page presentable, I might have to play around with that gallery template! I am particularly 👀 at the way that this peep has added subdividers that look really nice because I've been wanting a way to subdivide by fandom, but my own methods didn't look great xD I might have to peek at the source code...

Glad it can be useful!! :D I really like how everything fits together within it! And I agree, the dividers are really cool!
