if i were to redo the website, i'd probably keep the orange-glow design from v2 / v5, but it'd be completely rewritten to hopefully include far less spaghetti. i'd probably also try and paginate the weird al collection so that it's easier to manage. i don't know if you know this, but the built in neocities editor doesn't handle 4,024 lines of HTML code all that well. it's not that big a deal for most sites on

neocities, but when you're documenting every minor piece of weird al garba- memorabilia, you don't want there to be multiple seconds of input delay. the main problem, though, is that i don't want to have to split it into multiple pages. if anything, i'd probably just keep editing it locally and reuploading the file once i've made the necessary changes.

a few other notes, the "about me" page feels very much like something i wrote a year ago, and i don't feel like it fits the person i am now. the music page feels barren compared to how much I love some of the music i listen to, there's stuff in the main page that should be tucked into the basement section, there's stuff in the basement section that should be brought to the main page, and it all just feels so loosely

cobbled together when compared to other sites on neocities. for example, i dont know if it's still uploaded, but as recently as 2023, i had a scott the woz shrine... that hadn't been updated since 2021. there's probably a few corners of my site filled with cobwebs and dust that i still have yet to clean up.

also, on that note, there are still pages i've made, and then failed to connect to the rest of the site with a link. i probably see more of the flaws with my site than anyone else, but that doesn't make me want to clean it all up any less.

and one last thought before i shuddup (mainly because i'm probably about to run up against the 10-comments-a-day limit) there are side projects of mine (various-tracks.neocities.org, namely) that probably are more deserving of a page in The Basement as opposed to a whole seperate website. I'll probably get on that soon, too

I relate to a lot of this! I wonder whether I should merge Verrerdise, my Verivery fan site, into a subsection of my site. And though it's not quite 4000 lines like yours, my blog can give me difficulties often since I write a lot, and so my blog pages often lag the Neocities editor. That's one of the main reasons I want to buy supporter, so I can edit it on my computer instead!

And I just updated my site and remembered that my updates page is the worst! It's currently at something like 2200 lines, and I might just need to make it into a text file or something because, like with your Weird Al page, this thing has at least a second of lag each time I type or scroll or anything.

Even if the input delay weren't an issue, I'd still prefer editing locally because then you a) always have a copy and b) can save changes as you work without actually publishing them/spamming your feed. Re: purplehello98: You can still edit locally with a free account (I basically always use the CLI to push my updates), though the WebDAV access supporters get does sound like it might be more straightforward.

I'm stoked he's bringing back "full production" touring. The only chance I've had to catch him live was during the Ill-Advised Vanity Tour, so no costume changes, only one parody, etc. Still an awesome (and unique) show, but having grown up on the Live videotape, it kinda felt like something was missing :p I hope you get to go!

RE Tsylatac: I wish I couldve gone to see that vanity tour! So many of my favorite Weird Al songs are the kinds of originals that only got played there. Why Does This Always Happen To Me, Christmas At Ground Zero, Albuquerque, etc... That "Live!" DVD is awesome, though! Really glad to have it in my collection. I'm probably gonna be watching it every day from the day we buy the tickets to the moment we arrive...

...at the venue next Summer. I hear some never before played fan favorites are making it on the set list, which I'm PRAYING will include Hardware Store, Everything You Know Is Wrong, Callin' In Sick, or even Genius In France. I'd also like to see songs like Germs, Since You've Been Gone, WDTAHTM, and Jackson Park Express make a return.

I really wish I could see him live, but was so sad to see the tour was US only. Big L for a non american like myself x(

I also should probably think about cleaning up the main site first before I take on any more side projects.

In summary, it rewards frequently updated websites, with several pages, who follow other users, spark discussion on their profiles, and don't get blocked by large amounts of people. In essence, just websites that provide value, and keep Neocities active and friendly.

Also, I don't know how many of you noticed, but the "featured pages" on the sign up page are no longer four sites manually picked by Kyle Drake, but is instead replaced by the top 12 sites (under Special Sauce sort) in a random order. There is a permanent boost to the score of sites that have broken the top 12.

federi clearly was gaming the 'most followed' system (especially in regards to the followers to following ratio - seeing as they said following was a requirement to be listed on their site and they refused to follow back in any situation)

I'm shocked to find myself on the front page, since I don't seem to get that much interaction on my profile, and my follower count never seems to increase.
