it took 5 years but I organized all my old layouts into a folder and the next step is to start modernizing them and then I will upload them. some of them I'm going to save to use, but it'll be fun to see if anyone is interested even if it's just a starting point for them. :)

I just found some of my old designs... I'm never going to have to design a new site again. Just gonna take all these pre-2014 designs and morph them into new sites. #lazy

So far I've found: DC themed silhouette side-scroller, a simple watercolor blog layout, grey scale paper plane blog layout, simple HTML resume layout, an entire fansite for the Iliad (!), sky layout (scroll down to see the ground at the bottom)

this list isn't even half of what I found, a lot of my designs are split into header/index/footer php files that I can combine to see in HTML. I am going to modernize some of them and put them up as free layouts. They're all quite simple but might make a good starting point for people trying to learn.
Valentine's Day is bibimbap, nostalgic music, setting up my NAS so I can stream my music while I take walks, and a sleeping cat

in this 2006 moment I'm also gonna watch the movie Wristcutters which I probably haven't seen since 2006
More zines up on https://zinetherapy.neocities.org/library/ I have a few others to locate and upload about creative processes and such since I think that's most relevant to people here!

fwiw, I enjoyed the format of this post even though it wasn't what you were intending. I also had an intense January for different personal reasons but same world events reasons as you. I am glad my words were a help. And I'm excited about zine therapy! I may do one. :)

Thanks for the good feedback! I had intended it to be a month in review like "here's what I did" but it ended up being "here's what I thought about" and I can see how that is more relatable! I'll keep that in mind for future posts too. :)
