Confuse the search engines

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

I like to confuse the search engines. They don't need to know everything about me, or about you either.

88x31 buttons are a thing!

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

When browsing Neocities sites, I noticed that a lot of them had 88x31 buttons linking to other sites. It's a retro thing.

Inspirational quotes

Category: Web, HTML, Tech

I like inspirational quotes quite a bit. Not enough to put up on my walls IRL, but I like them scattered throughout Twitter or other social media, for example. In a world where there is so much animosity and strife and political arguing, it's nice to know that there are quotes for people who just want to keep moving forward and not get distracted by negativity. My favorite places for quotes are: » Continue Reading
