I don't want to learn Japanese to watch anime or even to read lyrics. I want to read Hara Hara Tokei and become a guerilla warrior in 2025

It's still funny that this was said when the EAAJAF were all about attacking civilians over "if you're not with us, you're against us!" mentality and so on. I find myself so fascinated by 60s~70s Japanese far leftism, especially the New Left and EAAJAF, and that alone is worth the studying so I can do good personal research!

Sorry for off-topic, but I read your language miniblog post and didn't expect you're learning mandarin until now! As mandarin speaker from Taiwan (Although we use traditional mandarin here), glad to know that lol

As I continue to strive for a cute website, I find myself making simpler and simpler pages behind the scenes. I promptly discard them, for if I use them, one day this website might become devoid of all styling except for a max-width on the body and some colour on strong and em! Har har har! Oh dear. I will say it's not my fault that everything looks better in a serif font on a plain-ish background.

If I were to start again, my entire website might look like https://mouseling.net/cosplays/nobita and I don't think that's a bad thing at all.

it's very common for men and women alike to have doubled-character nicknames that are the only thing anyone calls them by. The real problem with 鼠鼠 might be it's pronounced very similar to 叔叔, the word for uncle/men roughly your parent's age, and I suspect that no matter how hard you try to differentiate the tones, people are going to default to thinking you're saying 叔叔 when you introduce yourself...

You might have an easier time with 小鼠, but you'd still probably have to specify that it's "老鼠的鼠". single character names are "allowed", they're just not very common. 小+[some animal] nicknames on the other hand are very common. (Obv take all advice like this from a non-native speaker with a grain of salt...)

So it would make me "unc", as they say, (I am still more infected by the Net than I would like to be.) It'll be a while until I have to end up picking & sticking with a nickname, but thank you! ^^

This article has been a long time coming. Enjoy my complaints about Neocities websites, and my proposals on what to do.
very useful and epic thank you mouseling
New update is so cool!
I was surprised at the resurgence of splash pages. Thought I saw the last of that sort of things 20 years ago.
Thank you for useful ideas!! Happy to see people having different opinions on neocities/nekoweb communities and I have some same pet peeves like ya, especially the DNI and eyestrain (Sometimes), so still thank you for tell it out, I'm still thinking about make a mobile version for my personal website.
Exactly why I got rid of my splash page, it was starting to annoy *me* (who I assume is the most frequent visitor to my webpage), and I thought, what even is the point of this thing? So I got rid of it a few months ago. All your other tips/ideas are useful as well, thanks for publishing this ^^
