Well it looks like I've set this all up ok. Of course with being on the lighter side of things, no video section is here. You can view it on the main site, or go to the youtube links above in the menu, as I want to keep this light as possible for smaller web users etc. Though most of my videos are hosted on the main site and not youtube so I always advise people to just check my site for that stuff. Psst...also,between you and me, I think youtube is a little bitch and went far too commercial for my tastes, underminding people and their creative endevours. Other than that, I think this looks great. On my phone the first layout, the text looked kind of funny blending in with the beige type background that I just flipped us all over to the more cream coloured background you see now. Just to keep everything uniform. Though the writing section of the site remains with a black background as I like the look better with the font, also it converts to a lighter colour based on your browser without loosing text, as it flips the text black and the background white. Pretty cool! I never thought in a million years I would know how to make a website from scratch. The Neocities community have been a big help and inspriation. Though I have to hand it to the user Repath with their amazing layout design for the main site. They have the best templates to get you on your feet and adapt as you learn. Big thanks to them. Though just this little lighter basic site, by creating it all from scratch myself with what I have learned myself is something I'm very proud of. I actually find it so much fun! I started knowing nothing about coding, and now with just the basics, I don't think I've done too bad going it all on my own with the lite site version. In a way, the quirkiness of the main site aside, I kind of love this one more. It's easier to update quick and looks great on all my devices from my flip phone, laptop and my desktop. Sometimes less is more. So going forward, for these quick updates, for both this and the main full feature site, I may just come on here and do away with the updates on the main site, instead of updating both sides.
All that aside, I hope you all enjoy this lighter side of the drainpipe as much as me and my flip phone does.
Keep breathing in stardust you wonderful critters.

So far I've been able to convert over the daily poetry and freewriting pages, as well as I consolidated the two toy camera pages into one. However, there will be more of the thermal printer/camera on there because that is my little baby that I take everywhere with me. But there will be gameboy ones sprinkled in. I don't kow about the playschool as that camera resembles the non-print out pics of my thermal printer toy cam. It still can't fully load some of the photos on my flip phone for some reason. I've played around with it last night but it could be that my phone's browser is just very basic on it, and has a hard time with some loading some pictures. (EDIT: I think it's because for some reason my phone only loads png files instead of jpegs! How odd is that? I guess what I'll do is to convert them all to png files for just that hopefully universal image loading ability)On my Cat22 flip it works fine. I'm thinking of not moving over the "updates" page, as most of that don't pertain to this lite site. Maybe just use this one main page for updates and such, and just a random everything kind of page. Anyway, going to drink this coffee and start working on it. Also, the funny thing is, as I'm working on this version of my site, I kind of like it a lot. It has that very old webpage vibe to it, and looks awesome on my desktop as well. Keep breathing in stardust you awesome light spectors of the internet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi my kindred spirit who still uses a flip phone / dumbphone. Being a user myself of a very basic flip phone (Nubia Cymbal 2) and having a basic browser in it, I thought to make a more user friendly version of my site. A very bare bones sort of thing that can be viewed without all the background images, and video etc. So this is going to be mostly a text based version with my writing and light images. Also perhaps a little extra writing and things thrown in here as well. So just stay tuned and I'll start loading things over this weekend as what better way to spend a rain stormy weekend than coding some shit up! Also bare with me as I'm still in the process of learning gemtext so once I start learning more, I can't wait to get into some cool old school ASCII creations. See you folks on the "flip" side. Screw big tech!
