growing up, all i wanted to do was go to the mall because it felt like a place of limitless possibilities. older now and all i want to do is recapture that same magic while everything rots away.

the Trafford Centre welcomes you to recapture that childhood magic (limitless possibilities sold separately). ps, I hope you're doing well, Mr V.

I love dead/dying malls. There is a eerie emptiness and quietness that makes it pleasant to walk through.

@murid same. It's incredible how long some hold on for after everyone has left.

Here’s a friendly reminder to all you wonderful web masters out there to add/update a robots .txt file to your site if you don’t fancy bots scraping everything you’ve made.

Do we just add it anywhere on our website?

Thanks for the recommendation, Owlroost. I’ll be sure to add that. @punk-tart, it should go in your site’ root directory (so, not in a “folder”, but the same place as you homepage - hope that makes sense). Cheers all.

cheers guys. I feel like I've set unrealistic expectations by using the word "experimental."

Thought I'd let you know that it looks like your menu links are broken from within your blog posts. I think the issue is that everything is prefixed with '/posts/'. For example, on your 'Do We Truly Know Ourselves?' post, the [links] hyperlink that usually goes to https://colexdev.neocities.org/links is set as https://colexdev.neocities.org/posts/links (leading to a 404). Hope that makes sense and helps!

I didn't notice that mistake. Thank you so much for sharing. I will fix that up sometime soon. <3
