asks update: it's taking forever to copypaste everything over. i'm skipping some that stopped being relevant or that are inconsequential enough that i don't mind them being lost to time... but i also get to format things how i want, like having multiple asks in the same "post", so i'm glad i'm doing all this anyway!
i'm running into trouble deciding how to sort everything. like, a ton of things are falling into the "#for the lore maniacs" tag, when i think it could be broken down into TYPES of lore posts... like actual good stuff vs shitposting... maybe a "#short and sweet" tag for all the rapidfire ones? much to consider.
omg the other thing i'm thinking about, is because there's no way to link to an individual "post", i might want to add identifiers beyond just the asker and post date? to make it easier to share... but that's just one more thing to add per post and make this take even longer. like cohost gives each post a number so i could just use that number and people can ctrl+f to it--auugghghh i wanna use the section IDs but the way i built the pages i don't think... wait, maybe it would work...? *comes back* nope it doesn't work. i would have to make each tag into a separate html page, which i was trying to avoid from the start. I'LL THINK ABOUT THIS LATER...
on the bright side, i added a dark mode toggle and that was very fun to do! i wanna add that feature to my other pages at some point, because i like making alternate themes... like i really want to do a festive one for halloween...... i used to give my tumblr theme a makeover for valentines day and halloween so i'm excited to do something like that again :) yay!
got my data export from cohost. the format is a little confusing, so i may have to copypaste asks from the site... luckily that is still live for now.
in the end, i made 2,691 posts! at least half of those have gotta be asks... let's find out i guess.
kouhsuu: i wonder if you can embed comments on the page
me: OMG CAN I?????
komments: 😉
me: YOOOOOOOOOOOO
ok comments turned out to be super easy to set up so i added the button to the top right!
YOU GUYS I FOUND A GOOD ASK BOX SCRIPT..... we are so frickin back........ i might open next weekend, or i might wait until i get my cohost export so i can archive the old asks first. not sure.
was still thinking of ways i can do comments on other pages, and i think komments might be the way to go? it wouldn't be per-post but i guess that doesn't matter so much on a page like this one. people will probably only comment on the recent posts anyway. so i'll set it up this week, i'm just excited tonight i have asks set up again WAAAAA!!!
just finished updating and im so happy with my website... i worked on it all weekend lol, i feel like now that i know what i'm doing with css and it makes sense and isn't AS frustrating (unless im trying to do something funky) i'm like........ OHHHH it's fun. i love to build a thing, it makes me happy.
gotta template-ify this page when i get a chance, but i want to actually use it for a while to flesh things out so people can do all sorts of things with it. for now tho... i must rest.
omg we are so back. cohost gone? create my own microblogging page. i have to edit the html manually, so i better be serious about whatever jokes i'm gonna make here.
i know there's like uhhhhh status.cafe? that people use? but it looks like that only shows one post at a time. and i can't make it as cute as i'm making this page. HEH...
i'll add this type of page to my css templates so other people can make fake(?) microblogging pages too. maybe we can link each other's "blogs". social media but EXTREMELY MANUAL lol.
