I’ve just been plugging away at small changes I wanted to do for my personal website, although I finally finished an article that I want to put up on it as well. Part of doing the article also involved figuring out a way to display content warnings; we’ll see if I like it enough or if I want to change it again.
I have a links page for general stuff (like programs/extensions I use, essays that I find interesting, etc.), but I also just link a lot in general in whatever I write (to provide a source for what I am saying, to be clearer about what I mean, to give context, et cetera, et cetera). I’ve been trying to be more mindful of making links accessible, mainly by removing the target="_blank" attribute that I was wont to use before and adding titles to be clearer about where the link is heading. I’ve also been switching to using footnotes and having a section dedicated to source links to be clearer as well with my linking.
Something that I want to eventually do is write the descriptions for the links on the Links page myself; so far I’ve just been quoting descriptions from the websites themselves. I also just feel like I can better organize that page, but I’m not quite sure how to do it yet...

Oh, I also used a tutorial on how to append icons after links from CSS { In Real Life }. (Although I personally went with a[rel~="external"] to select external links.)
