About This Site
Building this site is a form of creative therapy for me because getting HTML and CSS to realise a concept is like solving logic puzzles. My early forays included Neopets, GeoCities, LiveJournal, Blogger, and Freewebs. 
I like that there is no one right way to write code in order to achieve the same result, yet you also need to be precise: things will break if there is a single dot missing.
I code everything manually in TextEdit, test the output locally on Firefox, and upload to Neocities when I'm ready. Right now this site is a small collection of things I want to share with anyone who wants to see it. I hope to add to it slowly over time. My email is rini@tutamail.com just in case. Thanks for visiting!

Layout History
Wanted to try a two-column CSS Grid layout.
The side navigation box was inspired by something you would never guess: Firefox reader view. First dark theme.
Got rid of the short posts. Recreated the fabric of our living room curtains for the background.
Attempt at CSS gradient background and a wider content frame. Debut of the pixel violin.
Just a colour change and tabs that make more sense.
First time writing a lot of code in about twelve years. Took quite a while to figure out the nav ‘tabs’. This site was very helpful in getting reacquainted.
