01: How the helly does this work?

Alright, to actually start coding without experience is kind of impulsive. But what else is there to do for someone without life-goals and is right in the middle of their gap-year? I struggle a lot with the CSS coding. What does all the abbriviations mean? Well, I dunno. I try and try again to make a ... connotation(?) between an element to a certain design but it somehow never works. I might be using the wrong tag or something- Not even the cheatsheet could help me... Am I cooked? Tbh to code this stuff after work at 1AM is not the smartest. I always end up sitting here past midnight trying to figure out this foreign language. And my method is basically patch things together with ready-made codes from websites or programmers and adjust the stuff I need. I will link my resources when I've made that part of my website!

When starting this project I half-jokingly announced it to friends and my socials, but people were really positive about it. People I know IRL reached out to me basically said that if I needed any help they would gladly offer their hand. Lucky! So this project is not totally hopeless. I intended to make this a sort of personal website, portfolio or an archive to dump all my art stuff amd provide further info about certain projects that is a little tricky to do on apps like IG. I thought making my own website would be better since I could add in all the features that I want and it's good for experience.

I think I'll still continue doing the rest of the navbar 'cause I follow the wise words "make it exist first then make it good". I'll just make the basic functions of this website first and then decorate or change its appearance later. Any more complicated features can wait. At least until I've mastered HTML, CSS and JS if I need to. Thanks for tuning in whoever you are :D

I'll continue working on this, albeit slowly hehe...

02: Testing, testing

Lots of stuff to do...And I'm following a very rough outline I've scribbled on a piece of paper from my backpocket. This website is starting to look kinda legit ngl. I added a guestbook, expanded the 'archive' section and improved the website formatting (or whatever it's called). W3schools and html cheatsheets are my saviours fr.

On another note, I've been thinking of live-streaming when I'm drawing/painting. I usually sketch a lot, and barely find the motivation to do fully rendered illustrations. I also feel like I'm approaching yet another art-block so instead of pressuring myself to post finished works I thought perhaps just tagging along the process might be less stressful(?). It will be shorter intervals between media outputs and I can have sketch-with-me's when I don't have anything cool enough going on. And forming a small community seems fun.

What to write...

03: Imma crashout

I recently have to cover more shift at my part-time which basically became a full-time job. I'm too sluggish when I get home and when I wake up to do anything creative really. Lowk also gave up major goals cuz fr I'll just be content with what I can manage rn without exploding. I'll just take things slow cuz this stuff is for myself anyways.

So I just updated the art gallery and profile a bit. Tried to do some experimenting with some of the button functions... Well, what I learnt is that I should definetly read the tutorials and perhaps not wing this. Btw, I think I'll go for a retro-ish shady website-type-of-aesthetic just because. I tried to do a simple visual novel for the FAQ to make it seem like guests of this page is talking to a receptionist but my brain is currently overloaded for it. Also, before I can even build the novel, I'd have to make some materials to build with like backgrounds, character sheets, scrips and etc. Though I'm not opting for a very high quality one since this is legit just FAQ visual novel on my sketchy website, I still need to make it somewhat decent because it is a FAQ thing.

I have a few ideas but it is tedious to organise everything when my coding and organisation is a mess. I'll clear it up eventually. when mentioning organisation, I'm still unsure about my oc lores. I keep changing things about them or their story so it is difficult to start writing/producing media. But I think most of the characters are pretty done... and in case i change anything I'll announce it. This reminds me, I should do a small flash news window at home page to relay if I updated anything. I'll make note of it.
