Neocities.org
I just saw your gallery, and I really love your ideas about linework. I'm not an artist, but I think you've got the right idea. Your style reminds me of Nagabe, who similarly portrays a lot with no colour and line only. I think you'd like The Vision of Escaflowne a lot, if you haven't already seen it. Great stuff!!

I keep getting "Secure connection failed" on all neocities sites. Is something going on?

Not an issue on my end; might be that your browser has some TLS weirdness going on for neocities.org? Have you tried closing and reopening your browser?

I have been poking around on Indieweb recently too and it's very technical. Maybe I have low standards for groups but I don't think memes are necessary, there's enough of them on the broader web / social media sites / circulating in private discords. Sure, a bit of extra humor might go a way to attracting members but if the core isn't right, memes aren't going to make me stick around.

My opinion on the Indieweb movement is that it's way too technical. But there really aren't many avenues for less tech savvy people to set up websites. I don't think I would have had the time to learn all the html and css I needed to make this barely functional site if not for the pandemic.

That last paragraph is pure poetry. "Like a Devonian sea creature that had just evolved jaws." Hahaha! As for the type, I imagine that they are just shore crabs no? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinus_maenas

Hmmm...the Pacific equivalent might be a species of Hemigrapsus, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemigrapsus_takanoi or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemigrapsus_sanguineus ...But I'm not sure, so I will keep looking...

Thanks. I like your writing too and I'm looking forward to going through your website. Though I'm a bit disappointed that your "Centring text" is not a guide on how to center text in css. I can never remember how to do that properly.

ig it's not necessarily the aim, but I like your site layout, especially the gallery! more to the point I enjoy your writing, and love the pushback I'm seeing (from you and more generally) to an internet presence having to constantly produce "content"

Thanks for the complement. I really need to update that gallery with newer art someday.
how can we shove a letter in that ol' postbox?
but do we shove a letter in or wait for one to appear? So many questions.
