I don't know what to tell you.

This part was going to be about how to do shenanigans with cohost's builtin animations, which is extremely not how you're meant to use CSS animations. But animation in posts was only entertaining for so long, so I never got around to it. And now it doesn't really matter.

You'll be free, soon. Free to go build your own website, where you can perform whatever CSS crimes you desire. The proper way, with a stylesheet and everything. Selectors, even. You could even — dare I say it — use JavaScript, if you really wanted to.

And that all requires a somewhat different kind of guide from what this has been.

I'd like to port this to my actual blog, sometime. I don't know what form it will take — I think I need to do a redesign of my websites before I'll feel like goofing around on it to the extent I have here. I guess since CSS doesn't make much sense on its own, it could expand into more of a shotgunned "how to build website" kinda deal.

But that's a little bit later. I've got half a dozen things I'm already juggling at the moment.

I don't know. I thought I'd have more to say, here, to close out the series. Something educational and poignant and all that. But in a way, half the impetus for writing all this has been to show off a bunch of little micro artworks I came up with off the top of my head, and I seem to have run out of those. The, ah, mood, isn't quite right.

Oh well. Would you like to watch the stars together?

Sayonara, wild hearts.

I've been using these as reference to do silly bits with inline CSS over the last two years, and I absolutely would not have been able to rapidly pivot off-site without everything I learned while doing so. As someone who felt they were at the mercy of platforms for most of my time online, you have my enduring gratitude for this series of posts, which were a pillar of my web re-education.
