Changelog
Saturday, October 26th, 2024
I added a couple of new notebooks to the "Filled Notes" section on my Field Notes page.
Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024
I added a write-up about my first year using Field Notes and added it to the Field Notes page. I also realized that my site maps are out of date. I'll fix those when I get some time soon.
Friday, October 4th, 2024
I added a new page about my experience with the KonMari method. Seems kind of like a stupid thing to write about, but I've had a number of these thoughts floating around in my head for years, so why not?
Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024
Added a new poem (or rather, a months old poem recently found in an email draft), March Quarrel.
Sunday, September 22nd, 2024
Updated the /now page for Fall Equinox 2024. I arbitrarily decided to do these quarterly on the solstices and equinoxes.
August 24th, 2024
I added a /uses page, becuase why not?
August 19th, 2024
I added my new Steven Universe Future fan site, Becoming Human. There's almost nothing on it now. Future changes to that site will be noted on its own changelog page.
August 17th, 2024
I updated my links page with all of the Neocities sites I've followed in the past few months. Also did a little cleanup on Field Notes and the site map.
July 28th, 2024
I finally posted an essay that I've been working on for about 3 months about revolutions in systems and platforms for posting content online and how de-corporatizing them will not lead to the kind of free, equitable internet people hope for. It was one of those things originally meant for the Spare Words section, but then morped into a 4,000 word essay against my will.
I also added another list to the lists page, perhaps the most slow-growing and tiny page on the site. This is a list of movies with giant monster in them, and what I like most about it is that it's in alpabetical, rather than chronological order. I also love the sentence, "This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness."
June 22nd, 2024
This was a big one. Every single page on this website was updated to a new design that I created and coded from scratch. I added prayers in the poetry section, changed the credits page to a colophon and updated /now.
May 4th, 2024
This site is now hosted on emilynhoward.com and updated via GitHub. I still plan to mirror the site to Neocities becuase I like the community there, but switching my domain from a Wordpress site to a static site has been my first priority.
I've got a lot in the works content and design-wise. I am working on a complete re-design of the site that is entirely hand-coded by me. I'm also working on a few shorter pieces of writing that I hope to get out of the draft stage soon.
April 21st, 2024
Gave the same flexbox treatment to the Writing and Links pages. I also added a lot of links! It now contains everyone I follow on Neocities. I am beginning to think seriously about redesigning this site although I don't know what it will look like yet. If all goes to plan, it will soon be hosted on my own server and I will use Github to push a mirror site to Neocities. I like it here. It's not a perfect place, but I enjoy finding cool people and sites the old-fashioned way.
April 20th, 2024
Used flexbox for the first time on this site to style the Collections and Links pages. I realized that having a bunch of plain text links was not very clickable. I'm hoping that the way it's styled now will make those pages a little more welcoming. I also need to update the Links page with new sites that I've found and am following, but I've worked on this site enough for one day.
Stupidly proud that I made this little thing and added it to my Field Notes Page.
April 16th, 2024
Added Adjusts Itself to Midnight to the Writing section. This is the culmination of a lot of work and I am very proud and terrified to have this on the website.
April 11th, 2024
I created a new page called Website Notes to capture my longer-format thoughts about building this website. I moved some content from the About page there and put some more succinct content there instead. You may have also noticed the color redesign.
April 6th, 2024
I added another chapter from Tiny CSS Projects. I am now almost half way through the book, if I go back and do Chapter 3, which I probably will. Focusing this much on CSS is making me realize that I need to reconsider how I structure pages with HTML.
April 5th, 2024
Added a new piece about 3rd Voice (SPOILERS). It's a stupid little essay, but I'm just trying to get in the groove of having an idea, working it up into something halfway coherent, finishing it, and sharing it. Rinse and repeat.
April 4th, 2024
I added more poems and Chapter 5 from Tiny CSS Projects. That was a difficult one! I can't say I understood everything that was happening, but I did manage to fiddle around with it until it worked.
April 2nd, 2024
Added several poems and wrote a new prologue on the Writing page. I also added a few links.
March 31st, 2024
Added several poems to the page and a new chapter from Tiny CSS Projects: Chapter 4. I am skipping Chapter 3 for now.
I also, due to my CSS chapter, figured out the quick and dirty way to import Google Fonts onto the site. I plan on self-hosting my own fonts someday, but this will do for now. The headings are Josefin Sans and the body text is Mata.
March 30th, 2024
Added a /now page and this changelog.
Added my Chapter 2 exercises from Tiny CSS Projects.
