PROJECT > WEB DEVELOPMENT > 003-01 INITIAL...

Never as fun as I initially think it is.

I always feel a little bit guilty when I get into making things. Using a platform like neocities/nekoweb, tossing something into their communities that doesn't have some inherit almost overbearing passion behind it. I feel like that with most things.

I can't tell if it's just me, age, or if making websites is truly a bit more like a chore than anything. I've attempted it a handful of times in the past few years - usually losing steam along the way. I know that part isn't unique to me, there are plenty of graveyards out there.
If you were ever wondering why the site seemed a bit plain, it's a factor of that. I am going more for the quantity > quantity approach lol. Keeping things simple and further straight to the point helps keep me a bit more grounded. And having the theme throughout being generally the same makes it a lot easier to get the actual content up.

I'm typing this while the site is still very much in it's infancy. I think I started toying with it around the mid point of June '24 after work here and there. Even just having the skeleton is more than I've done collectively ever.

I'm not really.... the best at this whole thing. I'm running off of knowledge from an old highschool class I took and concepts that have been deprecated. I keep trying to pick up courses but by god do I not get whatever the fuck a flexbox is. Let alone the difference between inline-block and block haha. I don't want to know either.

It's me and my marquee versus the world.

My credentials are that I ran a tumblr theme as a teen and I have about 2-3 dead projects under my belt. Here's to this one not being added to that pile. My only motivation currently though is going 'I typed something in brackets and then it goes into the box! wow!!' so it's kind of up to god at this point.
