the little 'updated' thing didn't come up for me to comment on, but (sharing for my own sake of appreciating a log) new (small) writing update on hobby page and new blog, and i'm dabbling in flexboxes on the homepage now (will gw be mobile-friendly/responsive one day? probably not but stay tuned)

also i put my url into that website carbon calculator and it got a D score :( which is 0.56g of CO2 produced every time someone visits gw what the hell. mad upsetting as an envi sci student. but as a bad/new coder not sure what to do about it. the website only linked to a Β£17 book on sustainable web dev and a directory of 'green web hosting services'. more research required on my end it seems.

but mildly funny now that if you google girl-wonderlost.neocities (because this site stores the info whoops should've read disclaimer) one of the first hits is a link to that site and part of the preview says 'This [my site] is dirtier than 56 % of all web pages'

cleaning up stuff. just discovered < a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> to force open link in new tab, good for my iframes (even though i read iframes are 'bad practice' somewhere. whatever.) #htmlqueen. turns out that noopener thing is to avoid tabnabbing. what a world we live in.

I read somewhere that modern web browsers treat all 'target=_blank' links as having an implicit 'ref=noopener'. So you don't need to add it unless you are looking out for people who haven't updated their browser in about 7+ years.

hello (she says into the abyss)... i don't even know how to google this question but if someone wants to point me in the right direction that would be great lol. on my altar.html page i have a element that's an overlay to make a sort of candle lighting effect...only issue w/ this is that now everything is "under" the overlay so i don't know how to make the images clickable...

obviously i could put the images on top of the overlay, but then they won't have the orange cast on on them yk. was thinking that i could make coordinates of the overlay clickable that correspond with the images underneath, but would they stay consistent to the location of images if the page is resized/on different sized monitors??

your musings on the itch / identity remind me of the youtuber "heaven sent honey." she talks about developing identity & self-mythology; might be up your alley.

i'll definitely check her out it's always interesting to see others discuss that murky concept
giving up on my 'other parts of the internet' links out page in favor of working on my virtual altar. the links out page is done enough for now but there could be more i could do with it but i'm more excited but this other project now
