I don't 100% agree, but I find it funny when people are like "omg sorry I haven't been uploading my site" after not updating for only a week or two.

I feel the same way, as someone that rotates through hobbies all the time, I was surprised how long I've been consistently working on my site but I'm glad for it. Abandoned sites are like "___ was here" tags, it's interesting to see a moment in someone's life preserved online

i agree with this post honestly, especially that it's fine to abandon your site (plenty of amazing geocities cites weren't maintained for that long) but also with regards to things like carrd-like sites. the freedom to make your site whatever you want includes making it just as a holder for links to your other accounts!

thanks for gthe comments guys! im actually surprised this one got some responses since its a pretty small simple post, but i appreciate it!!

@lhfm i forgot some people do apologize for not updating like every day, i also find it funny. this is the slow web, no ones expecting you to update constantly like its instagram or whatever

added loading="lazy" to all my pics on this page to hopefully help loading time, will be making it more accessible in other ways later today :3

1) your pics are lovely. 2) English names are the best. DEADnettle? Creeping Charlie? 3) You might have better luck with the html5 "srcset" attribute to define smaller image depending on the screen size. Just figure out how large they need to be for mobile, then do multiple versions + eventually make them Webp / run them through tinypng.

I am aware I am a pot calling the kettle black and that I have done none of that on my own site :D

THE TADPOLES OMG. I hadn't seen the tadpoles. Love them.

thank you!!! i honestly knew none of the names before looking them up, not sure if theyre called other things locally. and thanks for the tip! not sure if ill impliment it atm though bc it sounds like a lot of work to do for each pic ^^;

made the pages work in pure css, no longer needing javascript ! will clean up styles later bc i replaced the list elements and divs that had onclick functions with links

The reason the images are probably loading so slowly is because the image source is large. You could downscale it with a program to a smaller size and that will make it load a lot faster. Because even though they're in a small container, the browser still needs to download the image from the source file which is quite big. 👍

@scopefilter i think i need to do that with my flower frame borders too! i didnt realize my source files for them were so large. i think i would like to keep the size of the actual flower pics i took tho, so ppl can open them in a new tab at higher res

That might help! but to me the flower images load the slowest on that page so I'd start there 🙂

oh thats good to know! maybe ill do links to the full images

added some more recent art to oc galleries

oc main page almost done!!!
