Solaria's Webspace

Welcome!

This is my home on the web where I am free to be me ♥ Here I can induldge in all of my interests, from cringe to professional, without having to box them up into seperate little "brands". It is also an escape from the bad faith assumptions common on social media sites.

Here I make guides, display my art, log various things, make "shrines" and more! At its core this site is just a record of things I like ^^

I make this site with just HTML, CSS, and a little JS. No frameworks or SSGs (static site generators). Hell I still use my computers default text editor to write my code in. Its straightforward, simple, and I have precise control. No shade to others who do it a different way, this is just my way :3

I started learning HTML and CSS via w3schools in late 2021. I did not intend for my site to be long term, but I am glad I have found this wonderful home in the personal web ♥ The passion, creativity, and earnest expression here is refreshing. I have had a personal site since February 14th 2022, and since October 2023 I've been a part of the 32-bit Cafe, a friendly community for adults in the indie/small/personal web!

At the end of the day, this site is mostly for my own reference and archival (even my guides are written for me to look back on when I've forgotten something), but if others find my stuff helpful or enjoyable thats even better!

New Look?

You might be wondering what happened to my previous homepage style...? I've had it like that for three years and I honestly just started itching for something fresh. Also something a little easier to maintain and less cluttered. I'm redoing all my pages from scratch, in hopes of cleaning up my beginner code, reducing file size, and making everything way more organized! Right now its just my homepage, but I plan to improve all of my pages! (Most won't drastically change in look, but I will improve file structure and image compression). I've learned a lot these few years of having a website, previously having no experience at all, so I wanted to put it all into practice ^^

I'm sorry if you miss the old look, but I hope this one is as equally charming! It's more me either way ♥

Buttons and Blinkies!

Flashing animations are frozen by default in the interest of accessibility, though calm animation that is relevant to the message has been kept (decorative animation has been removed). Buttons use JavaScript (which is detailed in my gif pausing guide).

Contact

I honestly hate emails, I know others in the small web are trying to bring it back as a form of personal communication but I generally prefer talking to someone in a community/public space before any kind of private message, since I like to get a better of a feel for someone first. But feel free to leave a comment down below, or on my neocities profile :3 Note that its hard to help with coding problems via comments, but the neocities subreddit or the 32-bit Cafe's help thread may be able to help!

This comment section was made using ayano's neocities comment widget which uses JS and a google sheet (the JS file is hosted on my site, not hotlinked, so it is not vulnerable to changes ^^). Despite the google sheet I like it for its very high degree of customizability, though due to a security update only neocities supporters or accounts made before 2024 can use it

Comment section is currently a WIP! I could not style the comments locally ^^;
