Keeping track of how to make this thing work

Record-keeping of the internetty things

Layout built with sadgrl's layout builder.

Then used sadgrl's Understanding and tweaking my layout maker along the way to customize appearance. Ran into a dead/broken link somewhere along the way to finding this tutorial thing but can't currently recall where that was.

Background also from sadgrl.

88x31 button made with this button maker from websetsbylynn!

Inspirations

• Cool sites: visually or organizationally inspiring
• asters-asterisms: absolutely delightful navigation system, immediate sense of artistry and personality
• (boo hiss) jk rowling's old website: gross bad nasty not a fan of the person BUT i do remember back in the day her website was pretty cool, it was like walking through a building and you could click on items in the house to get to the other pages? very interactive, one of the first sites i remember really liking as a kid on the internet.
• glass animals website: they're not active anymore but the official website for glass animals around the dreamland and how to be a human being eras had some interesting interactive elements and easter eggs.
• melonking.net: the epitome of decadence and revelry and affection for what the web can be. a little overwhelming at times but aspirational in its creativity and dedication to the bit.
• Interesting content
• asters-asterisms: especially "friends" and "museum" pages
• melonking's manifesto: a loving philosophical look at the world wide web and the web revival movement. resonated with me deeply and made me cry. hopeful and creative without feeling out of touch.
