I've been on the lookout for awhile as well. You may have already seen this but what I didn't realize for the longest time that there is actually a link to the archive.org site in the sidebar. : https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/all-websites

+ adding those to my bookmarks thanks! I have come across the web design museum but admittedly didn't browse so I forgot about it! 🔎💻👀
One of the most rewarding parts about web design is making a typo without even realizing it and breaking your whole layout and then having to rebuild it almost from scratch. yeah that's right, I remember what I did 5 minutes ago and reapplied it like a CHAMP.

sometimes I have to remind myself that if I have a good rant I should just make a post about it. That's really what it means for me to move away from social media. that my first go to is writing, not tweeting.

I was reading some writing advice on Reddit this morning and here's my take: some people think that you shouldn't share or write unless you have something new, unique, or powerful to say. I think those people have imposter syndrome.

you are uniquely valuable simply by existing. your perspective is new to someone. it doesn't even matter if they read it or not, it's worth putting out there. whatever your writing does for you makes it worth it.

i completely agree. i think, due to the way the internet is, people are discuraged from sharing their work (be that art, music, literature, etc.) these days... not only is copying part of the creative process, but something unoriginal to one person, might be entirely new to the creator!!

Writing advice on Reddit, and other social media platforms can be extremely problematic for reasons like this. Waiting until you have a groundbreaking idea is a surefire way to never write anything at all. The act of writing itself can help you discover what you truly want to say. It's a process of exploration, not just communication.

found you on that last comment while I was browsing the activity feed, but I absolutely love your site! I love how you express visually through fonts and colors, making an art out of formatting words.

i almost accidently future-dated this post, lying to my dear readers by implying that i had the capacity for time travel!

I might clarify that by "leaving social media" I meant "deleting social media apps and logging into web once or twice a month to catch up with private account friends"

"An evening nap comes with a choice. Am I going to wake myself back up and potentially stay up and active until past midnight? or am I going to stay sluggish so I can get to bed at a decent hour?" I feel that

Updated the KB layout - it's been due for a change for a long time. Most of the same content is here but I've categorized it and also shared my plans for more things to come!
