Added lotsa stuff! The games page is finished and if you go to the OCs page you can visit the minisite I'm working on for my FFXIV WOL (basically just moving her lore and screenshots off of carrd)

Hey, thanks all for your really thoughtful and encouraging responses to my first blog post. I really had no inkling that so many people would read it. I'm writing a follow-up post right now with some additional thoughts and a very basic Semantic HTML tutorial that is totally newbie-friendly. Semantic HTML takes very little effort and will greatly improve your site's accessibility!!

i just read your blog post about mobile accessibility. it's very interesting to hear about it from someone who relies on a phone for day-to-day web usage. admittedly i haven't paid much attention to how easy to use my site is on mobile until relatively recently but it's something very important to me. glad to know there are people who can benefit from the measures i take to make my site easy to browse on mobile :]

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment! I honestly never paid mobile sites much mind either before I got sick. There's a lot of things you don't think about until life forces you to!

ive noticed this as well. theres this weird idea that phones=social media. but a phone is just a tiny computer really. and its so easy to make pages mobile accessable. if you have one column all you have to do is make sure your margins are percentages rather than pixels. and if you know enough css to make columns then you should know enough css to be able use media queries for screen width

This is a great post, and you've made a good argument for responsiveness in web design. And it really isn't hard to do, media queries give you a lot of flexibility. I can't be on my PC a lot bc I'm either at work, or trying to rest off fatigue or a migraine. Responsiveness shouldn't be seen as some kind of concession for the social media crowd (it's not), but allowing more people to access the indie web

Excellent blog post! I agree, but it kind of feels futile trying to convince zoomers who have little coding or technical experience who are nostalgic for a time they never lived in. "Best viewed in chrome at 1920x1080" is one thing, but I've seen people here on Neocities fail to comprehend that the reason why their site looks broken in the thumbnail is because it's a different resolution than their own computer.

Fair point. Nostalgia is definitely a driving factor for this sentiment. I suppose if you never browsed the early web, it's easy to see all these fun, old screenshots and think that it was a better time for everyone. In some ways, it was better, but it was definitely an accessibility nightmare. We can bring the good parts of the old web forward with us to 2023, but some things are best left in the past!!
