Wow! Hi! It's been a bit. I got a little ambitious about how I was going to update the site and then didn't for a while. Anyway I deferred some of the stuff I wanted to do because I wanted to post more updates and also update the resources page since a lot of people are looking at that right now. (Hi!) Also in the meantime my wife and I had a baby so I've just been kind of busy.…

Hi! Just wanted to put in a little update about some stuff I added to the site. I've added a bunch of stuff to the resources page, and also put the resources in two columns so the page isn't like 800 miles long, for starters. I also spun up a little project I'm calling Café Reader , which allows you to view posts from a curated list of status.cafe users. There's still a few…
I got into a discussion on my Neocities feed earlier today and the other person involved noted that Neocities comment feeds are like, the worst place to have a discussion, which is fair, and besides, I have my own website where I can write whatever I want. I am not frequently personal on this website; it's more about my personal projects and web development resources than anything else. First…
Hi! It's been a bit. I just tidied up a few things (and uh, re-added the members page for the yuri clique oops) (join the yuri clique!! ) and figured I'd post about what's been going on. I post a lot on bluesky now at veryroundbird.house among other things although I'm definitely still here. Also, I forgot to mention I published a short visual novel called Signal Strength for…

Hope is the longing for something not yet realized, or fully out of reach—and yet, the persistence to move toward it. That's kind of like pining.

Okay! We did it! I wanted to put together a new version of the layout just to appease my enjoyment of a variety of aesthetics, and also to make the site easier to maintain. Previously, this was being run off my own deranged static site compilation workflow involving nunjucks-to-html; now nearly everything is markdown files running off of Zola , which is a very lightweight static site engine…
once again i disappear and reappear randomly. sorry. also, hello to anyone who found me from cohost! friends of eggbug, it is nice to see you on the small web. i'm working on some site updates and a new layout (exciting!) so watch this space! also I released a roleplaying game supplement for thirsty sword lesbians called toxic sword lesbians that people seem to like? also a weird little zine…
hi! life's been a lot but i wanted to show off a couple things i've been working on. ask again later - a revamp of a site I helped put together for a live-action roleplaying game I ran close to a decade ago. now it's hosted on neocities with a static site generator and looks a little more modern! i'm still fiddling with some presentational stuff but the content's in there.…
Added another layout to the layouts page—eventually I want to set up some filtering mechanisms but for now there's like two so that would be overkill. I also added some homemade stamps to a sub-page under resources (it's all vtubers. i'm sorry slash you're welcome) and added another photo to the photo diary (chag pesach sameach)
I've had some links for tutorials on the resources page for a bit, but now all of them have content instead of just one! Learn my secrets! Make your website cooler! Nothing too hard or fancy, and all extremely doable on neocities.
some little additions—added my little yuri web clique and also put in a section for stuff i've joined, and then also I started a layouts section that you can get to via resources or via its own page . hoping to add more in the near future, plus i have some ideas about putting together a modular layout generator. I might also release a version of the javascript that runs the clique since…
wow! adding things to the site! on the resources page i wrote up the tutorial for how i made the audio player here + also added a whole list of links to other pages with useful resources for retroweb/yesterweb stuff. although i will say it's nice to live in The Future(tm) where yeah we can do websites like this but also have access to modern templating engines and utilities so I…
oh g-d people are looking at my site hjelp hi! i'm carly smallbird and this is my new little website that i'm setting up. i was really missing just. making websites more or less by hand (...ish. i'm using a combo of nunjucks-to-html and shell scripting to do some templating and file pre-processing, but, you know) and the community on neocities seems really great and reminds me of…
