Reread most of pointers in order, and god is it so rich together. The atmosphere! The subtle animations! Still think Secrets is my favorite. "And we'll both be loved by all the strangers that we dare to know." might as well replace a whole essay I've been trying to write. Love the contrast with "I've always known you" in the memory. Also all the wall stuff, body metaphors and posters.

Re: How I got the links to work for the iFrames: for each link, I used the code "target="page_display""! So, the full code was like this (with less spaces): < a href = " LINK" target = "page_display" > TEXT

AHHHH, that explains it! I'd thought that the target went on the iframe, not the links themselves. That would explain why my attempt wasn't working. XD

Yep! Links from the layout to the iframe use target=, links from the iframe to another tab are target=_blank; and if you want to go to a specific iframe w/ the layout, you gotta do a weird JS workaround.

^! "target=_parent" will make it so that a link you click on inside of the iFrame will open outside of the frame, and into the whole site

Nah, I mean "open this specific iframe page, but with the layout outside the iframe". parent works good for just opening a new page, though.

Hey! Thank you so much for the kind words. I am very happy you enjoy my little navigation map! There is still so much to be done! I really wanted to take the time to explore your site before I responded because I am just really in love with it. I love reading about your projects and it gives me all the good feelings of tipping my toes into worlds I never really delved into!

Speaking of which, there may be a new adventurer entering Eona. What a delight. I remember writing a vaguely similar world when I was a child. And I called it Äon! What a fun coincidence. Anyway, please take care! Also just wanted to mark myself as your #100 follower! >:)

I adore your site design! It's nostalgic for me and just plain creative. One of the more inspiring navigation systems I've seen, too.

THX for comment. This've made my day also navigation system is just a bunch of hyperlinks. If you need inspiration for ur navigation system I would recommend you to visit unartur.neocities.org, he's quite creative person.

Just wanted to say that I really appreciate the comments on Pointers/Amnesis. It's fun to write on its own, but positive feedback makes it even better to work on and makes me smile. Thank you!

I love the Coping Skills Compendium! Especially the stuff on anxiety, which I have. "Remember that all emotions are temporary" is something my mom has always told me. The journal stuff seems neat too, I might start a journal soon, I honestly need somewhere to rant so it probably will be filled with negativity :P

Ranting/venting can be a great use of a journal. It's got to come out somewhere! I find it helps most to follow heavy vents with something positive/optimistic- in my experience, it helps balance out the negativity and levels out my perspective on things. Even "I'm still alive and this will pass" counts.

And I'm glad the compendium helps! Anxiety can be really frustrating to deal with sometimes- I've had more trouble with it than I did with depression. Something my therapist told me was that some anxiety is "top-down" (thoughts -> body) and some is "bottom-up" (body -> thoughts), and it helps more to target the source. Never occurred to me that there was a difference before then.

Finally got a chance to poke through Amnesis and I'm really enjoying it! My favorite bit so far is the dishwashing poem, especially the part about being battered by cardboard, but that could be the just-moved-again talking. :) Looking forward to learning more!

I also only consciously realized today that the links for pointers are [[different]] than /the others, which is such a nice touch for scattering links in plain sight. Really lovely.
Thank you so much! Really makes me happy to hear that it's coming together well from a reader's perspective. And it's great to hear that you're picking up on things I'm trying to slip in there- I never know whether it's coming across, so it really helps to hear that.
Seriously though, thank you. Made my day. ^u^
