i'm still relatively new at this website making stuff, but what i do when drawing and i have this problem is i save what i have, and then sketch something new. So in this case, you could download all the site files and put them in a folder, and then go to town redoing it in whats basically a copy? if that makes sense?

SO GO INSANE!!!

I'd say, upload your current website files to Github. Create a separate repository for your old and new layouts. That way, your old website is still backed up somewhere. Petrapixel has a really good guide on how to use Github on her site if you don't know how. It is still a bit complicated to me too, but I use it to back my site up https://petrapixel.neocities.org/coding/git-tutorial

I guess this is more of a like. Very stagnant time capsule-ass take that I probably didn't...get across very well but I appreciate you guys <3 I honestly don't have the brain to code an entirely new website (& lbr, almost every project I've touched in 15yrs+ looks VERY similar to what's going on here) I guess I'm just like. HUH WONDER IF I COULD. (Backing things up is...smart though. Certainly haven't done that. Oop)

love u, miss u, blah blah blah

IT'S THE ONLY WAY. I love everyone on here but IDFK how I could function without a left sidebar. (I'm just glad it doesn't have to be panel CSS anymore. Also I love your lastfm widget thingy! Jealous!)

Ah thank you so much! Sorry I'm bad at checking comments here. All of my collages are scans - IRL not digital! I'm an image hoarder (digital and otherwise) so there's a mix of things from old magazines, deco tape, old stickers, things I've printed out where my printer fumbled the colors leftover from other projects, stuff like that! (The first image in that gallery is actually the notebook they're all in!)
