All right, I did the thing. There's now a site cataloging RSS feeds. Tell your friends, tell your enemies: https://rss-list.neocities.org/

Credit where it's due: the polish and professionalism on display here is top-notch. Also, one of your taglines reminded me of android musicians, which was an unexpected delight.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate hearing that! I am absolutely stumped what tagline could have opened the door of thought to musical androids, even after looking through the list five times now

sorry to be That Person but i think neocities auto-generates an rss feed that mirrors the profile (all site updates)!

This is both true and something I was aware of going in, and I really don't have anything to say in my defense except: not those, those are bad

As someone who still uses an RSS reader daily, I'd love to see a list of sites that have a feed. I want more sites to follow. Also spent some time trying to figure out how to make an RSS feed just this past weekend. I think I figured it out. Maybe.

skep i only half-read this post but add my rss to whatever list you're building. also if anyone needs help making an RSS feed you can ask me or skep how to do so. don't use the auto-feeds; they are bad

i do wish the default feeds were a little more robust lol, "[site] has been updated" can mean anything from "i changed a few lines of css" to "i completely rebuilt my site from the ground up." i maintain a separate feed for my blog posts through my SSG but ik a lot of folks don't have the knowhow to do that

Oh god, I can nev keep those things straight. I think I have already been using rem, but I will check as I hypothetically redesign my website.

yeah, like the sleep (em is a font's native size, relative to the parent element; rem is a font's native size, relative to the document)

To simplify (and generalize) a bit, rems and ems are relative units; they're good when you want a measurement to be flexible based on a font size.

I started using those recently, they are very cool but it is a little cursed to set font size as a percentage of the browser width

Moved the site options to a button menu and other minor tweaks. I think it should work fine. Give a holler if anything is broken.

That Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer with Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald is a banger, though.

I can't listen to "Duel of the Fates" unless it is the music video version. Also, your lack of any songs from "Christmas in the Stars: Star Wars Christmas Album" is disturbing.
