Bit the bullet yesterday and signed up for Neocities! Planning on first making a rudimentary personal fic archive on there, but we'll see what else I add as I get re-familiarized with web design....

For anyone who wants to add Simplified Chinese text on their websites, I also came across SentyFont yesterday, and they let you use all their fonts for free for non-commercial personal use!

Ayyy those fonts are awesome. It's great to have options that aren't MingLiU (the comic sans of chinese fonts cuz it's the default in most Windows computers ahha), for web and for design use 😊 Good luck with your page, glad to hear you're gonna make a fic archive!

Omg absolutely, as much as PMingLiU looks clean I've gotten tired of having to resort to use it all the time. And Google Fonts' selection isn't that great either. Before I found SentyFont I was using Japanese fonts (particularly RocknRoll One and Kaisei Decol), which covered most of the commonly-used characters but missed enough to where my text formatting would look inconsistent.

All of Senty fonts have so much character - my favorites are Tamarind/酸角体 and Watermelon/西瓜体. And it turns out that they offer traditional characters too!! So I'm excited to see what projects I can make that can incorporate these fonts
