Oh, wow! Dragon Cave! I just started playing about 2 weeks ago (I found out about it from another Neocities site!) I'm currently collecting an army of Pink dragons and trading for random prize dragons!
Added a new silly quiz to https://petrapixel.neocities.org/fun/quizzes but other than that just small changes

more quizzes!! i tried the hobby one, its funny to get journaling when i actually DO that. real for physical journals being more aesthetic… you’re powerful for digital ones, i struggled to keep a digital journal for myself

wao these are all really good ones ... i'm biased to page optimization though since it feels (at least to me) that there's definitely ... a lack of them, or they feel too 'word techy'. even just img optimization would be really cool esp considering how images play a lot into decorations

i agree with @zhongvie! page optimization would be useful both for ppl who are just starting out and for seasoned webmasters too

These are really good, but I really wanna see a resource about page optimization. I feel like the indie web needs more optimization on site assets, lazy loading assets, or just probably converting images to a more efficient format like webp
I now have a LIST OF CLIQUES ! https://petrapixel.neocities.org/coding/cliques As far as I can tell it's already the most comprehensive list of indie web cliques, but I made it so you can help expand it! Please add any cliques I have missed - thank you!

does that make me a pile of bones for being 27 going on 28? :P i already wrote it in the guestbook but happy birthday in full as well!!
ofc !! your website is so cool and beautiful and we seem to have a lot in common ! :))
lil heading font change bc i was sick of it. also bunch of other tiny changes :)
I added new styling options for my widgets! (https://petrapixel.neocities.org/coding/widgets) Basically, all valid CSS is possible now! Make sure to clear cache for MY website if something's not working for you!
ooo that sounds nice, but I have an idea, what about supporting the postMessage API so people can define the CSS using a little JavaScript code, it should work in free Neocities sites, and the URL wouldn't be long on complex styles. Just my 2 cents though.
FINALLY I CAN ACT LIKE IM SUPPORTER WHEN I'M NOT!!
@jbcarreon123 i haven't heard of the postMessage API before but it sounds cool, i'll look into it, thanks for the suggestion! :))
