Hey Crow Queen, thank you for following! Your site reminds me of a victorian era style point and click adventure (the graphic menu at least). I saw some of your pages on lolita and you probably know this but there are a lot of issues of the Gothic & Lolita Bible on the Internet Archive which I have spent some time browsing. Can I ask how you found my site?

Added a light mode (prefers-color-scheme: light) media query to my site with a custom theme and banner. If you press F12 and toggle the light (sun) icon in Firefox you can see it. Also changed the :focus on form inputs to use outline instead of border so other items on the page don't shift around.

Wow I pressed enter before finishing my message (thought shift+enter would let me enter new lines, guess not). I hope you enjoy your degree! I did, I focused on psychophysics and sensory/cognitive psychology in my third year (bachelor degrees are 3 years in Australia, with honours making up a 4th year). I'm quite impressed by your custom graphics like stickers and things.

Not sure if just me but a few of your homepage and other pages do this "double load" thing, where it looks like it refreshes after trying to load once. Do you see that?

I do, it's because my website isn't actually hosted on neocities, lol. I just have pages on neocities that redirect to the "actual" page if that makes sense?

It makes sense but why do you need to do that? Doesn't the page load more efficiently hosting on here?

Neocities doesnt have some functionalities i’m looking to use such as php.
Hey kalechips, like your site! I wanted to ask about your trans and rainbow 88x31 buttons on your homepage - can I use them? Where did you get them from (noticed they're outgoing links). Will check out more of your site later!

Oh thanks, on my PC those buttons on your page linked to "https://rainy.gay/", maybe you could direct link to that page instead?
your website is cool as, will be checking out those recipes... also reminded me i wanted to make a website/art manifesto page for my own site so thank you for the indirect but also kind of direct inspiration!

Thanks cc! I saw you're also in Australia (Brisbane here) and use a screen reader to test your site which is awesome. I still need to make further adjustments to my site. Will definitely add your button to my site (Links page) it seems like we have a lot in common plus your site design is awesome.

Moved the language learning resources (and added more links) to Miscellaneous Links (https://pixelglade.net/resources/collections/misclinks.html) All web collections have more entries - extra radio stations in Online Radios, added vegan art resources in Art Resources, ROM hacking / assembly programming and scientific programming into the code page.
re your comment on my accessability page: the light and dark mode buttons were actually inspired by a CSS property i just learned about! color-scheme: dark; and color-scheme: light; i used it for that pg in particualr bc its reletively unstyled. if you want custom styles for your dark and light modes youll prob have to make a style sheet for each

interestingly in css you can only apply it to html, it doesnt work applied to body (i may be wrong tho, i didnt dig too deep)

These are really great, thank you. I looked up a bit more about it and it looks like you can use media queries to adjust colour schemes with prefers-color-scheme.

Thank you so much! I was browsing various websites across the site through the "Following" section on profiles when I found yours. I like your art and was interested in your attention to detail regarding accessibility. Your section containing art resources was really helpful too.
For reading scans of the Gothic & Lolita Bible, lolitahistory.com is usually where I would read these, but the formatting of the magazines isn’t that easy to read. I understand that some people have made efforts to share specific resources out of them though, such as sewing patterns.
Mostly I am just looking at the pictures!
I never even thought to read a scan, I just enjoy looking at the pictures too and seeing all the names they come up with for the season releases / style. Also, thank you - I'm pleased you find my art resources and accessibility resources pages helpful.
