There's a lot of little things I need to keep testing for this site. Adding content is kind of the big one right now since that's, y'know, the point of trying to make things a bit dynamic. So that's really what this post is: Testing the "infrastructure" I've put together here. I'm trying to figure out how the flow of adding stuff goes, where are the pain points, what might I do about them (if anything). Trying stuff from mobile instead of desktop. Also, checking if anything falls apart.
So far so good, though I may involve other things in this process. I'm writing this directly in the neocities editor, which is functional and seems reasonably full featured, particularly for desktop, but on mobile... Well, mobile is always a trick for editing anything. I've been trying out Ellipsus off and on, and I know it can spit out html and works like markdown. That may be a better deal than this raw editing (especially with a mobile keyboard, where angle brackets are an extra bit of pain to type).
So what's next around here? I may refactor some of the "infrastructure" as needed, but so far so good there. I think I'd like to more dynamically populate the glam page, but kinda living with that one for now - it'd be nice to add a recent glam section to the home page, at least. I could leave that one as a manual process, probably. Those glam pages are certainly more of a desktop work item anyway, so futzing with things is easier in that situation. I do need to replace a lot of glam PNGs with JPEGs though. That's some unfortunate busy work, but will save a good chunk of space. I still think of crunchy JPEGs from when I was a kid, but honestly I'm not losing nearly as much visual fidelity as I fear (especially with how large images tend to be). There's all that behind the scenes nonsense, but I have a few glams I still need to catalog. I'm also considering a page footer just to say "site by me, inspired by Zonelets, hosted on Neocities." Do I need it? Not really, but I do like to link to things I find helpful. (You'll notice a lack of links to these things in this post because laziness/the hassle of writing html on mobile...) Then there's the lingering question of what content to rehost here, how far back to go, how to date and organize that, etc.
Anyway, this should be a fine test post now. No image since I don't always have to have one (and also, mobile). Oh and just to be clear: If you're reading this, everything is working as intended.
