So... weird unofficial unstyled blog page whats good.
This is really meant to be a placeholder for me to get my stuff down without worrying about the CSS since, well that's the topic of this first blog.
The nitty gritty is basically I'm kind of unhappy with my layout??? Idk, it's just egregiously inflexible. I've gotten advice on it but really it's all boiled down to "don't limit yourself to just a specific style!!!" and while that's a nice sentiment it's not really what i'm feeling is WRONG with the site itself.
Like I'm gonna be so real it's so annoying and difficult to add to it that it actively making me dislike working on it which isn't what i want for it in the slightest and what I thought was working just isn't anymore and that's honestly pissing me off because it's only been a couple weeks since I've implemented it like seriously what fucking gives LMAOOOOO
It's just kind of put into perspective what I actually want to work on, I value creativity and freedom first and foremost when it comes to this site
and I've made it so incredibly difficult for myself to actually pursue that, which is bonkers because I literally designed the site, it's like it's developed feature
creep already like how did i even let that happen.
I think I just bit off way more than I could chew at my barely intermediate level of coding knowledge.
Speaking on freedom and a little actual update, while i initially decided on either undertale or touhou to be the first shrines on the site, for some unfathomable reason it's looking like the virtual villagers series will actually be taking that place, because i've spent the last week typing up a 2300+ word essay on that incredibly niche series and frankly i've come to reaslise that NO ONE will ever be as insane about that series as i am so i'm putting my whole brain into that one out of sheer spite.
Firstly, Re-think the aesthetic a little, I love what's going on I think I just went way way too hard into it.
Secondly, I'm gonna be re-doing the layout from the ground up, it's not gonna be SUPER different aesthetically but it'll function in a similar way to the old old
layout, y'know, sidebars that don't rely on IFrames and such. This should THEORETICALLY not actually take as long as the last update, since I'll no longer be adhering to
self-imposed restrictions.
Finally, I have a lot of pages kinda jotted down!! So this update will actually still come with new pages and isn't just a revamp! :D
