aw hell yeah new cones

I essentially rewrote the entire site to make this happen.

I like these boxes for the text! Also oh no now that there's a leaderboard I need to go take more photos to win

the boxes caused a lot more trouble than you'd think. turns out chrome won't blur anything taller than around 16300px. >_>

making a leaderboard just so that you can be in first place smdh

im not here to get the most cones. I want to find the curiousest cones

a round of applause for Mike V. for submitting the widest cone photo to date, exposing an oversight in my CSS that I had to fix

i think the cone is pretty regular sized, personally

big update to site design. would appreciate feedback. I'm particularly interested to know how people feel about the readability of the text against the background.

make sure you Ctrl+F5 to reload the main CSS file too

reads fine, could use more cones tho

I think the text in the road sign like bubbles reads great and is a really cute idea. But I think when its got nothing behind it, it does get hard to read against the textured background. If you used the road sign background for all text, I think that'd help immensely.

The way I had to implement the road sign look is not something I can do in Hugo to render all text that way. I could just rewrite all pages in HTML instead of Markdown, but I don't want to do that. I'll play around a bit in the coming week with adding a darker background behind paragraphs. I already have a dark shadow on the text. It may just be a matter of increasing its size.

merry conemas

hell yeah it's cone season baby, all hail the mighty green cones we all put inside our homes
