Funnily enough, most of the stuff I got done is related to linking! I made an 88x31 button for my website, partially because it's cool and partially because I applied for a couple of webrings, which don't necessarily require that you have a button, but I'd feel awkward being one of the few without one. XD I used ezgif to put the individual frames together, because Krita didn't have an option to just export an animated GIF. Or at least my version didn't. :T Here it is btw!
As for linking in general, I already had some outgoing links set up before I even got to this stage, just out of courtesy. The page template I used, the background image and even an r/nosleep story that inspired a certain character are all linked. Ok actually, that last one isn't linked in the Characters page, I should probably add it. Also, this just reminded me that another character's bio links to the Wikipedia page of a historical figure lol.
In the planning stages for the website, I was actually thinking of having a separate page just for my inspirations/influences, 'cause there's definitely some niche ones I'd like to share with more people. Or even recommending non-fiction I've read to in order to have more grounded worldbuilding. It's definitely an idea for further down the line, since I should focus more on the actual art I'm making downstream of those influences, but I'm keeping at the back of my mind.
On another note, I did do one thing that's not actually linked to links (sorry, I had to), namely that I finally put my website code on Github. I won't share that since it has my real name on it, but I will share the Deploy to Neocities tutorial I used to have the updates I push to that repository automatically be reflected in the website. It saves you a lot of tedium.
