I love your about me page; imaging individuals as colors is a good metaphor. It has the same feeling as the lyrics from "An Ocean of Strange Islands"

Thank you for the comment! I didn't know of the song you mention before, and while metal isn't a genre I enjoy, the lyrics of the song are very beautiful and evocative.

Just a heads up, not sure what would cause this, but firefox gives me a warning message when visiting your site and dosen't allow me to proceed. Not sure what the cause is?

Oh! I think I may have misconfigured a subdomain on my homeserver. Is it alright now?

apperantly, your domain is also on teh blocked list for my computer at work. (You can tell I'm clearly very hard at work rn). I'm hoping I remember to try it on my personal pc at home tonight to see what happens?

I'm wondering if it might be my domain registrar... does this happen when it redirects you from https://binomech.neocities.org?

it looks like the firefox issue is fixed, so I imagine the site should work fine for most people now. For some reason my work is still blocking it as a "Spam URL". I'm not sure why, but I'm not sure if their is a way around that or not? I have a feeling I'll be able to access it when I get home since I'm no longer seeing the firefox warning.

It turns out new domains get caught in spam filters for a domain sorter that a lot of companies use to filter content from the network! Thank you for bringing it to my attention, and thank you for helping me troubleshoot :)

Added new pages for an easy way to compare auto insurance and links to a number of shadow libraries, an effective way of reading scholarly articles without being a student.

Came up with an idea using multiple backgrounds for this page. I have a linear gradiant on top that begins with an opacity of 100% and fades to an opacity of 0%. Underneath is a 100 x 100 px image, tiled. This makes the whole background extremely lightweight and fast for loading times and file sizes, while still keeping a cool effect.
Learned about the "outline" property today. It's exactly what I was looking for to create a hover effect recently. The only difference between "outline" and "border" is that outline DOES NOT take up physical space. It's a bit like an illusion, where as border will change the spacing of an object and objects around it. https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_outline.asp

I always * { box-sizing: border-box; } so borders don't change the size of the element nor stuff around (it does compress stuff inside though)

I'm not completely sure that would have worked in my case? Actually, it might have, but you would have to make the orignal state have a transparent border and then the :hover state have a visible border. Either way is okay.

Added back the mood board and a featured photo section at the bottom of the index; or as I like to call them, "Pleasent Photos"
