does anyone know how to fix my thumbnail so it shows my background?? I have no idea why it's doing that. I tried this method (https://scott2.neocities.org/blog/2024-07-30-wrong-neocities-thumb-try-this/) from Scott2 but still broken. I also tried re-uploading the background image, renaming the file, and rearranging the CSS a few different ways.

Thank you for sharing your Neocities mechanics findings! I learned a lot and now feel less crazy about some less-than-consistent behavior I've witnessed over the past couple years. I will definitely be referring back to this in the future! :) I also loved your writing about passenger rail! I share the exact same sentiments as you outlined in that first bit of the page

Also I cackled at your "buffaloaded" article. As a native who works for a tribe that has many casinos, you really nailed our whole thing.. haha

it's a cutthroat industry too... recently read an article about a tribe trying to open an off-reservation casino near a populated area, and every other tribe that already had a casino in the area tried to block it to protect their business, though they did kind of have a point that the prospective location was very far away from that tribe's historic lands

i found the original article i read: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-09/oregon-tribe-casino-bid-sparks-furor-over-ancestral-homeland ... but while looking for it i stumbled upon another similar one: https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-07-23/the-fight-over-a-mega-casino-sparks-a-debate-about-tribal-sovereignty

Good reads; unfortunately, this is a common issue. The state of Oklahoma especially loves to infringe upon tribal sovereignty!

I realized that my last update broke a bunch of old shit... my bad. :) I'm much better at writing clean HTML since the last time I wrote the broken pages, so I will be cleaning them up as I come across them! In other news, I fixed the video game page and added a new contender...
I really dig your music. Especially the "snow" track. I would love to interpolate it into a project sometime for sure

I really loved everything in your gallery, and the sketchbook layout (and its contents) is insane. I think we have a lot of similar interests haha; I hope even more young people look into the good parts of the 60s/70s. I look forward to more updates!!

P.S. your whole website looks like the inside of my wife and I's early '70s time capsule house, so I think you nailed the aesthetic

This made my day, it's so sweet!! :-) Looking at your site, (it's SO cool btw) I can see what we do have similar interests which makes me happy. I love seeing a fellow metropolis (1927) fan out in the wild!!

Appreciate the kind words and stoked for more updates :) Yes, mostly thrifted too! It's possible, just takes years to collect all the stuff. We also live in the midwest so everything is cheap at thrift and antique stores
