Neocities.org
I dug around your site looking around the webmastering material, and thanks to that (and the very generous templates you provide) I was able to do a full back-end cleanup of my own! Thank you very much!

Looking over the templates, understanding that I could streamline my code a lot better through CSS and discovering the fact that CSS has variables!

Thanks to that I'm actually starting to consider adapting my website to be mobile-friendly (something I'd thought of before, but frankly, as a novice, just seemed too out of reach) as well as adding more themes!

I was reading through your excellent muse posts, and I just wanted to say I'm so glad you had Gabriel in your life when you needed him. Great reminder to be that person for others if you notice the signs.

I'm glad he was there too- I think that one incident decided more about my life than anything else I've experienced. It taught me that the connections between people matter.

i've been chronically out of touch with the muse club but this comment led me to read the piece referred to and i just wanted to commend you for it. it's so beautifully written and i think it encapsulated the prompt perfectly. you're making me want to write again!!!!

Jellyfish time! For once, I thought of the prompt in daily life instead of bringing daily life to the prompt. https://owlsroost.xyz/muse.html#jellyfish

this work feels very Lovecraftian, absolutely love the description of the entity and how suddenly it breaks the calm of the world of the first few lines. can't stop thinking about 'a god without eyes', I really like this piece!

I remain eternally grateful for the script I wrote to reformat items for my RSS feed. Huge time and pain saver!

Accidentally broke the thumbnail trying to update it; working on fixing that now.

Hopefully that fixes it whenever the thumbnail gets regenerated next. Fingers crossed.

When I eventually update my website with the new design I'll have a new splash page on Neocities. Kind of wanted to convey that the page has moved but also be a splash page and I think yours does that really well!

Great job in writing the responsive/mobile-friendly guide!
i came to neocities from practicing tuts on w3schools via just local files on my computer, so i was already familiar with mobile responsiveness, so it was strange to see the anti mobile sentiment on neocities. if you have a simple page thats just a main block of text you can honestly get away with just setting a max width and boom responsive. for more complex designs making it work on mobile is just a normal part
(cont) of tinkering around with css for me
Likewise- I continue to be vaguely horrified by how hostile people are to mobile devices. Can't believe I forgot the simple site tricks- I'll have to add a section for those, thank you. Easy steps matter too!
