I really enjoy your pages "A Personal Statement of Artistic Intent" and "True Freedom". I'm very interested in discourse about art/creativity itself, not necessarily in relation to the basic art forms (visual art, music, etc.) Do you know what I could search to find more information about this stuff?

Thanks! About creativity itself? To be honest, I am not sure. A brief Internet search for "psychology of Creativity" turned up this: https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-creativity-p2-3986725

For me personally, "creativity" has two meanings: 1. getting a different perspective on the seemingly familar and 2. having a drive to make things. The first is achieved through exploration and the second is achieved by dedication. Both meanings are complementary and have constructiveness as their aim.

I hope that helps in some way! I am happy to dialogue about it more if you are interested.

Neil Gaiman wrote a good piece about "Where do you get your ideas from?" : https://www.neilgaiman.com/Cool_Stuff/Essays/Essays_By_Neil/Where_do_you_get_your_ideas%3F

Also Austin Kleon's blog goes over creativity/art/ideas etc all the time, he cites a lot of other famous creatives and I usually enjoy reading any of his entries: https://austinkleon.com/

I hope y'all don't mind if I comment on everyone and anyone's activity ^^;; I kind of love this feature of Neocities, how everyone is connected via the "dashboard/activity". It makes a lonely activity like making a website so much better. Did Geocities even have a feature like this?

No back then we relied on guestbooks and site fourms. Most sites had a guestbook or a fourm some had both.As far as NeoCities goes, everyone I would think loves to see people post comments on thier profile here or in their guestbooks, I know I do.

Haha! It's great isn't it? I don't think Geocities had any feature like it, although it has been a long time and I could be wrong.

Hello, We see that you are using one of our icons on your page without linking it back to our icon gallery: https://thecorporation.neocities.org/icon/icon.html . This is really bad. Bad bad bad. You better link it back or else... well... Man, if you don't link back to this site ... boy, you just don't want to know what's gonna happen. Big, big trouble, that's what!

Omg... thank you for pointing this out to me! I found it a while ago and had it saved in a folder. But damn... does this mean I can use more of these if I just link back to your gallery? Because these are EXACTLY what I was looking for!! <3

Of course you can use the icons on your page! That is what they are for... just as long and you link them back! and if you don't... >:( Well that would be Serious Business and we would be forced to have you arrested by the internet police and put into internet jail!!1!
