What an aesthetically pleasing format! The soft pinks all go so nicely together.

<3 Adding the links directly to the images themselves rather than having a separate reference list for the original sources (like me lol) is a pretty good idea, helps keep the page clean. Maybe I might find some halloween themed graphics of my own for Halloween. :D

Thanks for the follow, your pixel adoptable page is pretty cute, and your minifesto was quite different (not a several page rant like mine). I noticed you have a section called Haunted Jukebox which sounds similar to one of my own pages The Haunted Chapel (under Jukebox). So I'm keen to see what that page will be when it appears.

hopefully i'll get the haunted jukebox back off the ground soon. it was the first page i made on here and it was basically a collection of midi files of 90s/2000s songs on the surface, but if you poked around a bit there was a little interactive fiction ghost story happening in the background. i was really proud of it but the javascript was wonky so i took it offline.

i'm excited to have a listen at your haunted chapel! the vibes sound like they'll be incredible. (also today i learned there's a character limit on comments, sorry for the triple reply!)

Aw, thank you, I'm glad you like the banner and my artwork! Part of the reason I decided to study design is because I couldn't decide on a style so I figured I'd study a bit of everything. I actually love MIDI files, Of love to see your haunted jukebox be revived someday, even without JavaScript if it's a MIDI archive would be cool

i've spent my evening going through this old directory of adopts and seeing what's archived in the wayback machine, and honestly i'm having a blast https://web.archive.org/web/20000815071531/http://www.eliki.com/portals/candyland/cyberadopt/

Not there, really trying to minimize my internet footprint. Familiar only in name with Dreamwidth - what benefit(s) does it provide that Neocities does not?
it's based off the old livejournal code, so if you're familiar with livejournal it's pretty much the same as lj used to be! i definitely prefer the personal page format these days, but dreamwidth has some active communities i'd like to take part in. in general, the main benefits are probably just the blogging setup and social aspect. though honestly, i think neocities is far more active these days!
i recently made one, username: killkilldi. there's also a neocities community that just started up.
i added you, and thanks for the heads up on the neocities community!
