I'm feeling a little all over the place with upcoming events, so here's what I want to do with the SITE:

1. Add a "garden" page


2. Change the music on each page to something fitting, and add titles for each song


3. Finish the monochrome button


4. Add a "calling card tray" in the foyer (position: absolute; so that it's aligned to the right) and add people's buttons!!!

personally, i need to finish drafting up this chemise, maybe use up my fabric scraps to make a quick mockup, and then decide what fabric i want to use for the finished project by FRIDAY

then saturday i need to go through my fabric stash to find all my BLACK FABRICS also by friday, or at least saturday morning

and then either work on making digital versions of my patterns, making digital versions of my sidesaddle notes, scanning and uploading those sidesaddle books, or finishing up my stray sewing projects.

can you believe in may i was losing my mind having nothing to do!!!!!!!!!!!!

so i kind of accidentally made an entire new website that is almost done (or at least as Done as things get when they are first published with the intention of being constantly changing)

I made a navigation bar that stays in a fixed position as you scroll, I made a central column that always looks the same, I messed with css so that everything LOOKS ACTUALLY GOOD all the time, there's only a few more formatting kinks mainly with lists but they aren't a major eye sore and they don't affect functionality at all. everything links where it should and i got images and shit, should probably make a site map at some point idk

so now im REALLY toying with the idea of keeping my current neocities site (i have renamed its folder from "neocities site" to "40s house" bc idk what else to call it) in my computer's folders, and swapping it with what is currently in my computer's folders, because man. a site that is basically Done Enough to the point where you can just blah blah blah is awesome

this all comes as a result of my dad's side of the family deciding to visit today for whatever god forsaken reason, and my rabbit dying, so staying holed up in my room is ver yattractive, and i know i wouldn't have made such progress otherwise - but the progress has been made nonetheless

I'm kind of on the fence about what I want my site to be

I still want to have this kind of old-pc-game site wherein you walk from room to room and I just babble about 40s/50s shit, along with occasional hidden troves of info/resource-dumping, but man!! i think i bit off more than i could chew.

theres just so much STUFF that has to get done first to make it look the way that i want, and im still finding new stuff to dump into it every day - to the point i genuinely have a google doc of just every site i want to reference and some private posts here of text i want to include. it's so much and!! i don't have space for it.

i also see so many neocities sites that are more "generic" in that you have a background and a block with text in it, and it's a lot more simple than what i'm imagining but also (obviously) much more easy to navigate and create since that's literally what html was made for.

i had this idea in the back of my mind that once i finished this magnum opus of a first site, if i was still interested in neocities, i'd pay to become a supporter and make a more "generic" personal site but i'm on the fence now. i think i'll mess around in notepad, and if i end up enjoying this new "personal" site, i'll still save everything i've worked on up until now (DUH i'd never throw it away. plus it's technically already saved. all of it.) and just swap out what shows up on neocities.

but that then means i'm giving myself permission to start working on a more personal site NOW instead of later, which means i have to kind of comb back through the recesses of my memory and try to remember every idea i've had thus far.... and, of course, info-dump lmao

trying (and failing) to get accurate coords for my living room image, because the og png (on catbox) is fucking enormous and i have it sized down to 1500px wide, but none of the free online image mapping sites let you adjust image size. so all of my coords from them are starting out with like 2300px. which doesnt exist on my site since the image width is capped at 1500px.

im thinking about using krita to try to guesstimate where the right coords are? not sure how well that will work, or if maybe i can get some browser extension to show where my cursor is. idfk. heres what i know:

for whatever reason, neocities doesnt like for every image map's area to make the cursor point upon hovering, which makes trying to find out if you have your image map area in the correct spot A REAL BITCH! so to add in-line style to every <area> you have to type style="cursor:pointer". no ; or cursor="pointer" like ive been trying. for some stupid reason.

for rect shape area, the first 2 numbers are the (x,y) coords of the first point. (usually upper left-hand corner of the rectangle). the first number is how many pixels away from the left side of the image the point is, second number is how many pixels down from the top. the next 2 numbers (opposite corner of whatever the first point was - so, bottom right-hand corner) are the (x,y) coords of the second point. AND THATS ALL THE POINTS FOR A RECTANGLE!!

shape="circle" has 3 numbers, first 2 are the (x,y) coords of the circle center. third number is the RADIUS of the circle in pixels. shape="poly" has infinite numbers, every one is an (x,y) pair though. its like connect-the-dots.
