I have finished copying over Season 1 from ffbe_script to my local repository; I haven't pushed it live on Neocities yet because I'm going through and proofreading them after a random look at one page HORRIFIED me with the amount of typos I found in a small section. I also want to write a primer for the last chapter, partially because a LOT happens in the season, and partially because my page directory has a blank page there.
To facilitate the copying/file massaging, I wrote a Python script that handled most of the HTML. I just didn't include a line in the script for doing the headers, but since the headers are in all caps, it was relatively painless to go through the files manually and put <h3> tags in around capitalized lines.
I had told some of my friends that I was working on my site and they said "you need a Github", heh. I do have an account or three there but don't think I have backed up my site there yet, so I'll see about doing that.
Links, huh? I have a brief tutorial squirreled away on my site for how I did the menu links; in a nutshell, the menu itself is written in YAML and then Jekyll magic turns it into HTML (Jekyll is a static site generator tool; I know others here are using a different but similar generator but I've forgotten the name. I heard of Jekyll first, so that's what I went with).
Most of my other internal links are hand-coded. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some Jekyll magic I could do to build those links, but eh, it's not a LOT of links so I don't mind coding them myself.
I... had not thought about linking OUT to other sites. I should probably, at least, link to the FFXIV wikis as they were a big help when working on my Main Scenario Quest "summaries". There's other resources I will probably use while building the site, and I should link to those, too. I hadn't considered a webring. I'm not sure if my site would be appropriate for one? As a reminder, my site is at https://altheavalara.neocities.org and I'm making fan scripts of ongoing Final Fantasy games.
