The social networking aspects of this platform seem mostly auxiliary. They're well augmented by the main purpose of the site. It has a sorta members club guestbook vibe to me.

I won't even bother reading your post if it's not burnt into a JPEG and posted to Instagram.

i haven't done anything proper with my site from long time because who cares about anyone there when this site is dead

i think the reason is that as a social network, neocities is (currently) broken. I do 100% believe in the power of personal websites. But there's an asymmetry: Site authors can express themselves deeply and readers get a very intimate look at someone... but the inverse is not true. So authors (at least me) end up feeling lonely or smth. i have 46,000 hits but it feels like nothing. not like im connecting with someone

You seem somewhat...ambivalent...on this subject. :chuckle: I also find these things weird and disconcerting. Jquery is a tiiiny library and there are a million cool fonts to download on the web. Also, please stop using Bootstrap. lol

last time i told anyone how to use neocities it didn't go over well so i wish u the best
i swear even your "i'm bulldozing my site brb" layouts are gorgeous compared to many, how do you do it
Thank you so much! I really don't know how I do it. It just happens, and I only manage to pull it off for this site. Other projects of mine tend to fail :(
