Welcome!!
This is my little website where I play around with CSS, HTML, and JavaScript! You can call me Simon or Solaria, I'm an adult with a full time job, I have AuDHD (leading me to interests like this one), and enjoy visual arts of all kinds! I initially joined Neocities in Feb 2022 to publish two site designs, but ended up loving the culture, so my site blossomed from there. I started learning HTML and CSS from scratch in late 2021!
I used and highly recommend w3schools for learning HTML and CSS!
I didn't start using the internet on my own until 2012, so I'm not from the classic age of HTML websites, but I appreciate their lingering traces and think the internet would be a better place if we had more customization and less ads ^^
I embrace the self expression of the personal web, while also incorperating accessibility. Lover of hover effects.
Interaction Online
I think online spaces have bred a hostile disscusion environment, where the main goal is to win the argument, and flex on the other person. I suspect this is due to most online spaces being public, where you have an audience to witness how cool and right you are.
Instead I encourage you to approach discussions with good faith, where instead of accusations, we ask what they mean by something, or why they think that. This is not to say we should tolerate bigotry, but to give well meaning people grace.
As such I dont have a DNI (do not interact) list. Those who have bad intentions won't respect it, and I'm open to talking to anyone who reaches out to me in good faith. If I have any problems I will talk privately, ignore, or simply block.
I have a chatbox at the bottom of my homepage for small comments, a guestbook for longer comments, and an email solariaswebspace@protonmail.com for detailed conversation.

Site buttons!
What are these? What are they for?
You may see buttons with strange names on them, like these, in 88 by 31px button collections, among buttons that indicate interests, beliefs, or prefered programs.
In a way they are like stickers or business cards for personal sites. They usually contain the site's name and are given a unique design, providing a tiny snapshot into their site.
They are meant to be collected by other personal site owners, who display them on their own site, where they are linked to their creator. This lets people link to their favorite personal sites in a visually interesting way, where each link is unique!
Here is a collection of personal buttons and history behind them.
Somewhat similar to site buttons are webgardens which are mini site pages!
