I did some web design way back in the HTML 4 and CSS 2 days. When I created my first website, my ISP was still AOL and I was using dial-up. I’ll never forget the thrill of finally getting DSL. Having a fast persistent internet connection was mind blowing. Somewhere along the way, personal websites have become a bit of a lost art. Coming across Neocites with its Web 1.0 culture and aesthetic is really exciting and nostalgic.
So here I am re-teaching myself HTML and CSS. It’s been well over a decade since I touched any HTML, but it seems to be coming back to me fairly quickly. After running through the CodeAcademy Intro to HTML course and looking up some CSS references, I was able to at least throw together a barebones site in an afternoon. I forgot how fun it can be. And frustrating when you just can’t get something to align just-so, lol.
As for content? Well, I already have DeviantArt, Tumblr, and Pixiv accounts for posting fanart, so I figured I could use this page to focus mostly on original content and stuff that’s not necessarily art related.
I hope to use this page to document my thoughts and projects. Hopefully it will continue to evolve as I try to remember what I’m doing with all this HTML stuff.
