in anticipation of glitch.com's end of webhosting services, i've made a quick, final update to my hub of net-art opertations there - https://dorkshouse.glitch.me/ - and will try and archive everything sufficiently before it's all over

whew-- that concludes this round of edits! mainly worked on adjusting the layout to be more layout-adaptive. i also learned how to link to a specific point in a page so i could have a table of contents for my portfolio!

the music room also got a table of contents because it finally has its second feature, a little list of just some of my absolute favorite albums! https://encounters-ltd.neocities.org/musicroom (i went in with this edit wanting to add it and go and it snowballed from there ROFL)

honestly trying to get every single edit you want in an update for a single page in one fell swoop, much less an entire website, simply takes too much fun out of it. hope you're enjoying watching me edit my site in REAL TIME ๐ŸŽ‰

Lol I would do that but with the dress up game that would eat a lot of my bandwidth with how many files have to be reloaded from cache!

I googled around and found this site that lets you preview your code: https://codepen.io/

oooo this could be helpful!

I saw your message about wanting to change your site URL but felt it would be a hassle. An easy way around this is CTRL+H in any editor (including Neocities default editor) and search for your URL with the hyphen and write the replacement without the hyphen.

You may also need to use "whole word match" which varies based on what you are editing in but it should work virtually in most editors.

oooo thanks for the advice! though tbh i'm more worried about links to my site from other sites being broken, i wouldn't be able to do much about those if i were to change urls

this portfolio of works is so stellar. the Loss story is so affecting

you're very welcome :)

honestly looking at the sun and moon edition makes me a little sad because the illustrations are noticeably less eventful and charming as the early game boy era books... i wanted to see pheromosa getting into whimsical antics like in those ;_;

the portfolio page has gotten a little tricky to navigate and overbearing, so i would like to work on that too. perhaps i could learn how to do a grid with thumbnails and clicking on one brings that art up above
