Oh, one notable comment on Neocities' 'Download your entire site'- if your site goes above a certain size, that goes away. All that's left is mounting it or downloading through other means. Large part of why I used to work on a local copy and use the provided CLI to upload my changes- everything is always up to date locally. Definitely complicates backups otherwise!

Typo on the writing directory: broswer. (I swear I've made the same typo at least once!)

I just noticed the same typo in the title (meta element) of that browser article as well (good taste in extensions btw!).
Not going to lie, your article on hosts and The Neocities Dilemma was what finally made me think "maybe it's time". SSI alone has made it worthwhile! Price savings are always nice too, but WOW was it a lot of work to manage duplicate header code across this many pages.

That's great! SSI is such a time saver for static sites, and I'm happy to be the gateway into that world for people.
Thank you for including the checker pattern toggle! Now I can visually enjoy it if I want AND read more easily- definitely helps a lot.

Congratulations on the move! I'm always happy to see people moving hosts (and finding out about SSI lol - it's a beautiful thing).

Love all the layouts! The link to "Your Website Needs to Work on iPhones" on the layout page is a 404, though.

And hey, fellow uncommon time signature enjoyer! 7/4 is one of my favorites, and 3/2 is probably my all-time favorite (a pain to play in, though).

Oops! I had moved the layout directory into another folder and forgot to update where that link was pointing. It is fixed now.

Anyway, thanks! I really love anything with odd numbers on top, or just stuff that forces you to split the measure into strange uneven groups of notes. One of my favorite songs uses 12/8 and 22/8 and it's such a headache to tap along to, but it's so fun!

Is it "Dance of Eternity" by Dream Theatre? That's got some wild time signature changes.

It's The First Circle by the Pat Metheny Group, but I will definitely check out that song!

This I have noticed with other sites I followed! (though Im guessing youre telling me this because of my "back your shit up" article, where at the time I *didn't* know this) This issue is also why I make edits on a local copy and dump everything here afterwards
