It's time for Small Web September Check-In 4!

The loose theme of this check-in is troubleshooting! Have you run into any unexpected problems accomplishing something that you'd like to do with your project? Maybe you have a feature that you want to implement, but have no idea what you'd need to look up in order to do that. Or are there any questions that you have about the small web (maybe terms you find confusing) that you'd like to ask?

Whatever it is, add it to the comments! There's no obligation to take part in the theme, of course - you can just add a progress update for your SWS project, or share anything you want to discuss. The sky's the limit \o/

A bonus discussion-starter (optional, so no pressure to include this!): What was something you didn't know how to do when you started out on your small web project(s) that you've since learned?

(This doesn't have to be during the challenge - it can be anything you've learned while doing small web stuff).

As a reminder, this is the fourth of five ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates for these posts in the event intro post. There’s no cut-off point for leaving comments on these, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on every one or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide, but any discussion is welcome.

Also, a heads up that the date of our next check-in will be the 30th September (the last day of the challenge) - so whereas these normally go up on a Sunday/later on Saturday depending on your timezone, the last check-in will go up on Monday or late Sunday. So don't be alarmed if it hasn't arrived at the normal time!

For our last check-in with 'halfway point' goals and discussions, go here: Small Web September Check-In 3: Halfway Point

At the moment I am tremendously behind on my goal since the month ended up ignoring previous instructions and being incredibly hot and busy. ^^;; I took a few days off this coming week for a different project and will just multi-task, I guess.

When I made my Neocities last year, I was still using the HTML I'd learned in the late-90's/early-00's before quickly realizing that I needed to learn at least a bit of basic CSS or else. ^^;; I managed a few bits, but for my main fanfiction page (link is a list of fandoms only), I had to ask on [community profile] fancoded because I couldn't even figure out what element I was looking for. (It was flexboxes!)

Nothing wrong with HTML-only sites :P That way they're always readable even if the stylesheet gets lost. But truuuuu a little CSS goes a long way. Flexboxes are great! Your site looks great - really pleasant, neutral, easy to read color scheme with cute flowers and lemons! It's so cool that you've kept your site alive since 2003.

Oh for sure! I had intended to do HTML-only but the allure of a style sheet and being able to adjust everything at once was too great. ^^;;

Thank you! I started off on Geocities in 2003 (I had other sites back to ~1997, but those are long gone!), moved to a friend's domain, and friend has been MIA with real-life stuff for awhile so I'm building fresh.
