First Blog Post...Ever if I'm being Honest
Finally got a halfway decent set of pages up here. All things considered, the biggest problem was not knowing what I even wanted to put, much less what the site should look like. Even now, I'm not super satisfied with this current design and that's on top of the code being less than optimal.
But at the same time, I'm actually pretty happy with what I've got now! It's already looking a lot better than the previous three iterations, both of which were bad enough that I don't even want to preserve them on this site. Plus, they were unfinished to begin with, whereas this version has actual content (via this blog post lmao). Definitely want to do a full overhaul once I actually get the hang of HTML/CSS, though that's pretty far in the future, considering the last time I worked on this was 09/20/2023. Biggest priorities now are making this site more personalized overall, both in content and visuals.
Honestly, I'm still uncertain of what I want to go on the site in general, but I'm putting this blog post for now. Somehow this feels like I'm shouting into the void more than my actual Tumblr blog, but maybe writing here will eventually motivates me to starting posting there, just cause it's easier. I know internet shrines are a thing, though I kinda want to improve my drawing skills first before I start putting favorite characters or media on here. We'll see.
I'd previously also considered writing subject-specific blog posts, like new video games I've played or things like that. Last new game I played was Half-Life, also all the way back in September 2023, and all I really remember was being surprised at how much fun I was having, considering it was an FPS game. Not because I don't like FPS games, but because I don't have very good precision when it comes to aiming with a mouse (on top of controlling it with my non-dominant hand). Half-Life was very fun, though, so maybe I'll play the other games in the series soon. Or just any new game in general. Otherwise I might as well just make shrines for the same three games I keep replaying.
Also yeah, Verdana is honestly not a very comfy read. I'll change fonts some other time.
