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

ive asked myself this a lot and sometimes i still do. i guess the point is what you make of it (to me anyways). sometimes theres no point in sight in moments but that doesnt ultimately mean that there is no purpose or meaning to anything no matter how meaningless certain parts of life may feel. i may not understand what you're going through personally, but i do wish that you feel better and that things get better ❤

I really, really feel this.

to allow the universe to know itself for good and bad, as a nerve knows both relaxing warmth and burning heat; to give the universe the gift of love through the connections of sentient beings; to allow it the knowledge that only life and death and everything they entail can convey; to have within it eyes to see it's spectrums and ears to hear it's frequencies; and a mind to appreciate the composition nature designed.

or not

To have experiences for experience sake until life takes you out, because you’re the only you the world is ever gonna have and your corporeal body is the only one you can bank on having. There’s no point to living except living, and that’s beautiful and horrible at the same time

totally saw you dude. put it back. or share.

umm yeah i did but im not gonmna tell anyonem

Thank you so much for the thought and message. Struggling, tbh, but trying to keep it moving. Hope you and your furbaby are doing well! <3

thank you for the kind wishes. it's never a easy thing to go through even if everything else is going good. they sure do leave their paw prints behind on us in more ways than one <3
