• HTML
• Nothing new.
• CSS
• Figured out how to make the bottom backgorund images responsive to screen size.
• Applied opacity to background images.
• Figured out what was causing the suddenly appearing ca 20px white top margin.
• For now, settled for a good enough solution for scrolling.
• Customized the Archive of Your Own css to work with the site layout, worked in the filters into the navigation menu, changed size of work boxes and made it more dense.
• Completed the initial stylesheets
• JS
• Nothing to add this time.
• Graphics
• Made the white background on the images of Naruto, Kakashi and Iruka transparent. This lets me use css like opacity and hopefully gradient to change the overlay colors and I also I only have to use one image instead of two per theme (light and dark).
• Content
• Drafting the Policy page with credit section.
• Finished the Map My Visitors page.
• Miscellaneous
• Nothing to add this time.

Since last I have:

• Figured out that I should not be using flexbox but grid for the CSS layout, and voila it works 80% better. I still have to make the versions for different screen sizes, but overall it is much more stable.
• For now the plan is to table whatever needs substantial working so that I can start working on the content for the site, and especially configuring Archive of Your Own which will be the base for it.
• Speaking of Archive of Your Own, I'm going to empty the filters I think, and add only what is relevant for the first work I decide to upload, and then expand it from there. I know it's not the best practice LOL, but if I'm to figure out the perfect taxology before I have even made any content I won't ever get started with it. So, chosing the pragmatic route.
• I downloaded the website and deleted all the files online. It's just so much quicker to work on it offline via a code editor and I don't have to worry about Chrome's cache being a dick.
• I've started working on a light vs dark CSS that the user can switch between. I also made a master page where I can document all the colors I'm using for the different themes.
• I added the Map my Visitors widget to the site. Not sure where I want to put it or if I just keep it in the background as something fun for me. You can have a look at it here.
• I have not touched:
• JS for language toggling
• JS for automated theme calendar
• or any other Braindump items
• I have hit an absolute wall with Webmentions as a guestbook, and considering looking for an alternative, or table it until I hopefully understand more about APIs and things.
• I keep reading on w3schools as well as occasionally on Stackoverflow, the latter especially if I'm running into any errors. I gotten a little bit better at writing CSS without having to look every single thing up so that's nice. It's proof that I'm absorbing what I've been reading.

I'm still figuring out this whole Change Log thing, and hopefully in time it will structure itself and be a bit more reader friendly.
Since last I have:

• Decided on my initial pages, and added all the (empty) html files for the links in the navigation.
• Trying to make a language toggling JavaScript, still not working 🙃 It's not properly hiding the inactive language, breaking the layout.
• Read the documentation on Webmentions (to use as a guestbook), not understanding much of it. Will try again.
• Discovered Map my Visitors and thinking of using it on the site.
• Continue working on the CSS layout - I probably need to ask around online. I think there's a high chance I'm making it too complicated and it still breaks all over the place and not near viewable on different devices. Also need to settle on the color palette and various text formats for the spring theme.
• I still want to make seasonal styles, but that will be tabled for now. I need to get the site up and running first.
• Braindump items
• JS - Online visitor counter
• JS - Total number of visitors
• Site created timestamp
• Site updated timestamp
• JS - manual override toggle for light/dark mode
• Continued to read and experiment with HTML, CSS and JS via w3schools. Hoping this will potentially get me to the point that I can customize scripts I find online that almost do what I want to do, especially for the more difficult ones I don't think I'd be able to write myself.

Inspired by Coyote, and reminessing on my geocities days; I've decided to make a webpage again!! Yay!

Okay, currently I'm going through HTML and CSS to try to learn what I need to know.

I'm working on overall CSS for the layout and I want to figure out how to make it trigger different color schemes and images for different seasons and some particular dates.

making a nifty little archive for any fanworks or tutorials/resources of mine. Also courtesy of coyote.

Pages I'm considering/want

• Splash page
  Oh shit, I think I finished the code at least for the splash page. I just need to finetune the graphics, and it's good to go.
  • Support choice for English or Japanese (HOW?)
• Create the code and CSS for the main page after Splash
• Guestbook (need to figure out how to use Webmentions TT.TT)
• AI policy page (not using it that is)
• Archive of Your Own
  • Fanfiction
  • Fanart
  • Meta
  • Tutorials & Resources
  • Links
• Where to find me (tumblr, dreamwidth, bluesky)
