I think all that's left to do for this renovation is to move my guestbook onsite and that'll be it for now! The rest are long term projects to do when I have the time/energy (It's definitely taken a lot of time/energy to update my site and layout this past week but it's really been worth it, especially making it more accessible)
If I can get the guest list thing figured out today or tomorrow then I will have accomplished all my goals for the website before the 1st site anniversary!
I just hate having to store everything off site for my past art. Like yeah I have more love for my current art but I still think it’s worth showing my old art too somewhere
I think what I might do as a sort of compromise is for past years to pick my top piece from each month and put them in a gallery for that year (think of it like a “Best of each month from: insert year here”) with the drop box link to the full gallery for that year there too
I can’t think of many other malls that were open, closed for a decade, reopened under a new name, and then closed 2 years later and stayed abandoned for another 10 years till it’s demolition
Added a few Java scriptless versions of gif heavy pages to the site! Going to test all of them out tomorrow to make sure the main pages redirect to these scriptless pages when Java script is disabled. Also added a last fm widget to the about page + links to songs I currently enjoy underneath
Removed the music player from the site and replaced it with a section for my webrings instead! Will add a section to my about page with songs I currently like (and maybe a last fm “currently listening to” widget if I can find one that’s accessible
September art will maybe be posted this day too? Not sure yet! October art will be up at the end of the month as usual
The thing kinda holding me back from posting my September art is I have 2 images I finished in September that I just need to format (they’re ref sheets) but I didn’t have the motivation to. I think after this week I’ll have it up. In the meantime here’s something I enjoyed making from September (still really happy about the feature on this) https://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=4896322
Also might tease a new project I’m working on in this months blog who knows
