I've been working on my neocities site a little. I swapped my sidebar nav for a top nav with drop downs and I'm overall a lot happier with that.
been having a few of those moments though where I want to pull my hair out.
Something that was working on one page, did not on another even when I copy and pasted the code. still haven't figured that one out. its probably something small and stupid though lol
And I had a moment where my gitignore file stopped working - its something that has worked for six months without me making any changes, and then it started ignoring my CSS folder all of a sudden. I couldn't figure out why, tried so many things to resolve it, did many google searches looking for a solution. In the end, it turned out to be a root folder in the gitignore file, so I removed it and it started syncing the css folder again, but that root folder had been there for six months and IT WORKED FINE that whole time so why did it suddenly stop last night?????? Welcome to Unsolved Mysteries of the Universe.
Anyway, here are two resources I came across that are cool:
PetraPixel's layout generator: https://petrapixel.neocities.org/layout-generator/ Easily generate a simple responsive css flex layout to your specifications. Handy if you just want to save a few minutes, or if you are new to flex/html/css and want to see how it all works together.
I'd actually recommend her whole coding site. Lots of guides and tutorials from beginner to advanced. Study guides, cheat sheets, code snippets etc. https://petrapixel.neocities.org/coding/need-help
I've been looking for PetraPixel's site; I came across it ages ago and while the lessons stuck in my brain, the name, alas, did not. Thank you for sharing!

Anyway, here are two resources I came across that are cool:
LoveBerry's CSS text effect page:
https://loveberry.nekoweb.org/resources/text
it has examples of the effect, and the code with no long explanations to read through. So good.
