I vibe so much with your takes on friendship and frustration with other people's complacence. It's so important now than ever to stand firm in your beliefs and integrity, which I'm not the best at tbh but I do try. Love your site

I'm a bit torn because I'd like to talk about heavier topics but I started this site as a kind of escape and I not only don't want to ruin it for other people but more so myself. I could pick and choose real world events to touch on but who is to say what's more important? What do I want to focus on what's important to me?

Does it matter? A platform like this is up for your own usage; and there is no fault in wishing to talk about heavier topics. It's often cathartic. Alongside the fact that you can't control how other (mostly anonymous) people react to your work. So, if you want a stranger's advice, do not stop because of fear but rather reasoning.

I'm more worried about my own joy in this site becoming tainted. I try to be aware of the world and dance regardless but so easily the things I enjoy become tainted by dread by association. But, maybe you're right. It will save me annoyance down the line anyways because I will have pre-emptively have scared away softies

i think your blog is good, the format of neocities and small web is kind of isolated since its less social than social media and theres not really a comments section per post but heres me engaging :)

Do yall read my blog posts. Genuine question. Because if not I might as well just journal and there's no point in bothering to put this shit online

And there's no point in having a website except to showcase art, I guess.

i like reading people's blog posts. i like when ppl read mine too, but i also don't really care if people don't read them bc most of the time i'm just dumping my stream of consciousness. i love seeing the way people make their blogs on their websites, i'll make a habit of checking yours! :3

Thanks. I know I'm coming off cranky big time but you don't really have an obligation to do that unless you really wanna. I was just wondering because people never respond to or discuss my posts even though I talk about them on my profile. Maybe I have silent readers. I don't wanna be famous by any means but I'd like to think I'm more than an aesthetic

you're totally fine!! i really want people looking at my website, too. like, what's even the point of having a website if ppl aren't visiting it?! i totally get it lol. honestly i've found that just engaging with other ppl on neocities and leaving comments in ppl's guestbooks, chatboxes, and on their profiles is a great way to build connections which will thus encourage ppl to check your website more frequently!!

I remember this guy saying basically, he stopped shouting out smaller creators on youtube because 1). It would get them a bunch of attention on a sinuglar video but since people dont use the subscription page much it would fizzle out pretty quick 2). hobbyists would become overwhelmed with the attention and expectations and 3). it just doesn't work that well. I think the same is probably the case for small artists

I mean, point 3 at least. When has "shouting out" ever been an effective form of support beyond a one time event?

No pays attention when I try to point to artists I like either. It's not just that I'm not popular, I think the majority of people simply dont gaf if you're not the one serving the slop. And honestly. Same.

All this to get to, I was thinking of adding a shout out section or something. But I feel like I need to do it in such a way that grabs people's attention. Thoughts?????
Thank you! ★ I really appreciate it
