I made a blog with Zonelets on my Neocities page.
Also has an RSS Feed, the finest technology that pre 2008 internet has provided!
I also have an 88x31 button you can all be fancy with.
Feel free to add it to your website with this:
<a href="https://xuelder.neocities.org/Blog/"><img src="https://xuelder.neocities.org/images/AvatarButton.gif"></a>
I'll mirror posts onto here till the end, the first will probably be a repost almost immediately after I post this announcement.
Cohost was the first place since pre-2008 forums where I felt that posting something actually mattered. I got feedback, I got people who genuinely liked my craft. I got to post my weird cubism shit again and feel like it was appreciated. When I posted dumb shit people actually interacted with it in ways I hadn't seen since middle/high school. I didn't feel the grind that was Twitter posting or Instagram BS.
Alright, what are you gonna do about it?
So now I guess this takes us here, this blog. My hope is that I will continue to write longform posts here, as well as turn my main page into a proper gallery for my art and games. I also want to divorce myself from microblogging as much as I can, though that won't be easy because of my needs for
OBJECTIVES
- Build a blog with an RSS Feed. If you are reading this, than mission accomplished!
- Bulid an art gallery. Might have to do some fancy JS to make this work, though I am pretty sure it can be done in raw CSS and HTML
- Have my web games playable on this website. This might be as simple as getting an iFrame from Itch
Anyways, look forward to more posts. Next time should be about the progress on my Ectocomp Entry, the Suburban Nightmare Maze game. Thanks for reading!
