Ok, I got the ticket figured out and booked, but have absolutely zero dollars left to my name. If anyone has a couple bucks to toss my way for food for the 30+ hour train ride, that would be epic af.

I leavee in ~6 hours.

Hey, thanks for the shout! I'm still alive and kickin', currently scramblin' to not lose my apartment so not much time for website stuff at the moment. Hope you're maintaining well, it's wild and weird out there! <3

I laboriously hand code each page in Notepad as God intended but I've heard good things about 11ty (https://www.11ty.dev/) and know some people who use it and like it. I'm pretty sure it's free.

hey Paint, if you wanna just do smth right on ur site and dont wanna update the nav all the time you could try templaterr, its a little digging to get it to work how u want but u wont have to manually add anythign except the link to the script and update the js file only for the nav: https://templaterr.neocities.org/

For my website navigation, I use Client Side Includes. Basically just a piece of Javascript code that I have where I need it, that way I only have to update the JS for it to update all the pages that it's on. Here's the place where I learned how to use em: https://ikewise.neocities.org/includes

Trick I did: use an iframe and make an html navigation page. Updating the html page will update across all uses of the iframe.

Landing page graphic is a throwback for now, got something better and more fitting cooking. Otherwise, a nod to the past and a look to the future for the site.

I should be glad I have a place, after being homeless for so long, and ultimately I am, but it's just so much stress trying to make it work financially. ANd between work and appts and shit, I barely go to actually enjoy it. So dumb.

it sounds like i can relate to a lot of the same stuff you're going thru. i wish you all the best and if you need someone to talk to im here. i get it. life is too much sometimes and i myself am on the verge of ending things. just know you aren't alone <3
