Restructured my blog folders, hope nothing breaks, I shouldn't upload major site changes moments before I have to put bread in the oven

Years ago for Christmas, my mom gave me a giant pasta bowl. Like, I am pretty sure it would take two pounds of dried pasta cooked to fill this bowl and it certainly didn't fit anywhere in my kitchen. So I decided it was a cat bowl and put it on my coffee table. After a few weeks of hesitation, one of my cats got in it and it has been a cat bowl ever since.

Amazing.

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/

Hahaha! This is the way! :D

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)!

sorbier's avatar sorbier 3 weeks ago

so everyone on neocities has an rss feed; c.f.: https://neocities.org/site/sorbier.rss [[[credits to suboptimalism for documenting this functionality]]]

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.

nohappynonsense's avatar nohappynonsense 3 weeks ago

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

ajazz's avatar ajazz 2 weeks ago

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

I uh. I think I use pixels... What is rem? Like, the sleep?

1 like
brachypelmide's avatar brachypelmide 3 weeks ago

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)

skep's avatar skep 3 weeks ago

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.

real talk i use vh or vw for everything i can't remember which

skep's avatar skep 3 weeks ago

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.
