Finally tried clearing the cache and FINALLY it seems to work. Good god what a mess from one little misclick.
i accidentally made a folder named "teal.css" once and i broke my entire website doing it lol
Also if you follow the link to the 'page' on my site, you get a 403 forbidden error. And I can't create an actual html page now with that name because it 'already exists', even though it's simultaneously a folder.
yayyy! more halloween shrines! :D ♥
