I'll keep providing updates on here by text but I got rid of the automatic redirect. Partially this is because redirects on my host has slowed down a lot so there is occasionally significant delays loading the new page and I don't want people getting the wrong impression and thinking the old one on Neocities is the main page. I'll still provide text updates here but I won't be updating the image in the feed anymore.

I finally finished a blog post I had been working/sitting on for the last few months about my vision impairment. It's long but, hopefully someone out there gets something out of it. https://pixelglade.net/about/blog/posts/2024-04-24-Life-With-Nystagmus-my-Vision-Impairment.html

Fixed some low-hanging fruit with the CSS, removed the underlines on the nav and footer links and changed the "here" from underscores that get read by a screenreader to be an underline style.

Hiya, thank you for following. Your artwork reminds me a little of Hollow Knight, I think it's some of the shapes and colours maybe - anyway, hope you're having a good day

even if that "something" is "oh today I learned that this exists".
I recently learnt of nystagmus when reading about Richard Osman. Thank you for pouring so much into this blog post. It has inspired me to think of ways to make the width of my website narrower so that it is easier to view.
There's a general guideline in graphic desing that optimum line length is around 50-75 characters long. That's a good general guideline to follow and just making sure the text reflows properly when resizing the screen is the most important thing. https://baymard.com/blog/line-length-readability That would help :)
I recently switched from '600px' to 70ch for my max reading-width utility class which theoretically should be 70 characters, but find it doesn't seem to work that way. It is more roughly 100 characters which is significantly wider. Perhaps rem would be more appropriate. But certainly reflowing is super important!
Thank you for this amazing post, and not just in a "today, I learned that this exists" way. It's incredibly thorough. And, like Frills, it motivates me to improve my website. I have mild convergence insufficiency, so I struggle with long lines/spacing too, but still ended up tailoring my site to exactly what *I* find usable. Even though I've had to write Stylish styles to make some other sites legible. Shame on me 😅
Hey mostlypixels, thanks! And yeah, I also designed my site around what works for me haha. Thanks for reading!
I had never heard of this before today, so thank you for educating me! I look forward to your next post.
