this isn't actually an about page.

1. Please introduce yourself.

uh. hi my name is [REDACTED]. i guess you should just call me Bluestreak or Orion..

2. How long have you been making websites?

Hmmm. since 2024? maybe even 2023, but since recently for sure.

3. And what got you into the hobby?

uh. i have no idea. it seemed fun?

4. What kind of website are you most interested in?

personal websites - bonus if there's something on it that i care about or if i find you interesting

5. What's your workflow? Do you plan your websites out thoroughly or do you come up with the design as you go along?

no workflow whatsoever. i rarely plan things i just sit down and try things out. i tried planning out a page once but I always get distracted before i can actualize my ideas - so just winging it and getting in the flow zone is good.

6. Please link to your biggest inspirations.

. uhh someday ill do this i gotta finish this q pretty fast rn

7. What's your favourite part about making websites?

figuring out how to make the html/css do what i want to do and getting to put lots of stuff on the internet about things i like. transformers.

8. And the thing you struggle with the most?

hmmm. my knowledge isn't very vast so sometimes i get stuck on trying to do something then having to realise that i can t actually do that thing. i think.

9. Do you keep the same layout on all of your pages? Or do you use different ones?

nope. for a while it was all the same layout but now there are a few dirrent ones. i think its fun, plus i dont know if i could choose just one layout - i'd keep switching them around

10. How confident are you with CSS?

im ok. i have to look a lot of stuff up lol

11. Do you know how to correctly use <dl>?

nope, but i am currently using it to indent some text on my blog

12. What is your favourite HTML element?

im not sure.. probably the paragraph one (i dont know how to display the characters without turning them into actual code... i also like the img one..

13. If you're making a new web page from scratch, what is the first thing you do?

make a style sheet and put some basic text down, so i have an idea of how to expand around the content. i think.

14. Do you know JavaScript?

nope. i hate javascript so i dont. i think i used to know a bit but i dont remember

15. How about PHP?

i dont even know what that is

16. Does your website have a theme that you stick to?

not really? or maybe sorta..

17. Are you more focused on content or design?

probably a little bit more on content than design, but design is fun too

18. Do you own a domain name? If not, would you ever want to?

no but i do want to. someday maybe. i'd want a .net one.

19. What do you think of nostalgia-focused or "retro" websites?

hmm theire ok.

20. Is your HTML valid? Do you even check?

uhh. maybe? i dont check lol

21. What are your opinion on buttons and banners?

love them. put fun images and things its so cool. i like to put them on my own website...

22. What do you think of button walls in particular?

theyre cool i suppose. they can be really hard to look at thought, so i like it better when they are like. a few buttons wide and more tall, or vice versea

23. If you started over again, would you make something similar or completely different?

hmmm probably somethime pretty similar, since idk what else i would make. tho maybe i would try making a more "simplistic" website. idk

24. Are you envious of other people's websites?

oh god yeah all the time XD

25. What text editor do you use?

text editor? like for writing the code? i just do it right in the neocities editor. i used to use visual studio code.

26. Why do you use that one?

tbh its just way simpler, plus i dont have to move the code around and switch all the links and everything. i used visual studio code bcz i felt like it made me "important".

27. Do you host your image files on your web server, or on another host?

i just use neocities.

28. This might not be relevant to you, but what's your opinion on the Neocities vs. Nekoweb debate?

uhh i dont really care. i would probably reccomend nekoweb, mostly because you dont have as much of a restriction on file types that they host for you and also if you go premium or whatever its cheaper. they also say that they block gen ai and data scapers or whatever it is and neocities doestn. i mean the guy behind neocities has said in a blog post that he likes gen ai or something (idk go check it out yourself or something - otherwise its just heresay from a guy who doesnt remember half of what he does)

29. How much server space would you estimate your main website takes up?

neocities says : 380.22 mb. i think its gonna keep getting bigger. hopefully it doesnt end up like my computer where i go round deleting memes to try and have a sliver of storage space..

30. Do you keep local backups of your files?

sorta? i occasionally download my website but. usually not XD

31. Do you prefer simple or highly visual websites?

either! people can do crazy cool stuff with both so i like them both. im more of a maximalist (it makes me feel safer, i guess) so for me i like better when theres lots of stuff - or it feels like theres lots of stuff. something something burying yourself...

32. Do you stick to certain colours? Do you do that on purpose, or is it your subconscious?

hmm i kinda end up usually going for a mainly dark colour with hightlighs in green or red. like black red and grey. i think its kinda a subconsious thing.

33. Have you ever thought about quitting? Why?

yeah on occasion. i get worried i've put too much of myself out there so i get these really really strong urges to delete as much as i can - i dont often act on them because in the end its not stopping the cycle, its just strenghtening it. because in the end i come back on the internet. i think i feel it more about my tumblr account than this website so far, which is nice.

34. Do you have many webmaster friends, or is it a solitary hobby?

solitary hobby... it would be nice to have webmaster friends but idk if my friends would want to.

35. Do people in your real life know about your website?

so a few of my friends have seen it, most either dont know about it or do but have never seen it.

36. Do you update your website very often? How often is "very often"?

uhh. sometimes i get on a coding kick and then ill update it a bunch but i usually do so maybe around once or twice a month? i dont keep track

37. And the overall design, do you change that much? Why or why not?

over the time that i went from zero knowledge of html/css code my website has changed a lot. i think it was mostly that i learnt more and got exited to use that knowledge and do things like have multiple pages and sized boxes that you scroll the text in them.

38. Is your website more you-focused, hobby-focused, or outside world-focused?

me and hobby, i think. its an intersection of those. i really like transformers (and have for like a year) so thats a pretty important part

39. Do you do web design professionally?

nope. i do nothing professionally

40. If not, would you like to? And if you're comfortable answering, what do you do for work?

not really. i think i just wouldnt like the websites i'd have to make and also dont do javascript, which i think most websites would want to use

41. Do you communicate with people by email very much?

not very much. dare i say i dont comunicate with people very much in the first place?

42. Some people reject social media and use websites as a replacement. Do you keep social media outside of your website?

i have a tumblr account (love it there) and i have an instagram account but i really really hate instagram. im basically only there for my friends, and i practically never post.

43. How about instant messengers? Do you use a mainstream one like Discord or Telegram? Or something like Matrix? Do you avoid them?

i have a discord account. i really hate discord.

44. Do you listen to music while you work on websites? If so, what kinds of artists?

sometimes. not specifically. i like listening to music and it helps keep track of time so i dont end up in a black hole of code, so pretty much any music i dont mind stands a chance. right now im listening to the spiderman soundtrack (2018 or whatever - the good one)

45. Do you keep everything you make on one website, or do you have more than one?

i only have this website..

46. On a similar note, do you keep to one topic on your site, or many?

i think its mostly one topic right now.. im not opposed to broadening my scope though

47. Do you present your real self, or at least try? Or do you construct a persona on purpose?

i dont really try, i just dont know how not to. i always wonder how people can have geunine personas. isnt is just a fragment of yourself? distorted to a singleperson hood? but i dont know who i am so.

48. Have you ever made a good friend thanks to your website?

nope. im bad at maintaining connections virtually (just ask my friends) and im also too shy.

49. Are you happy with the way HTML and CSS currently work?

yeah? i mean i can do what i want with it and i dont really care to reinvent the wheel or anything so its all good with me

50. What are practices that you think people should avoid?

i dont really care. i have to be boring lol and just say: do what you want. the people who are important wont hate you for it. you should have fun, its your website. dont try and tailor yourself for others, that just leads to inauthenticity and feeling like you are invisible, because you never get a say in what you do.

51. What about under-utilised practices, or things you think people should do more?

i have no idea..

52. Do you use a lot of semantic HTML? Or are you guilty of generic structure?

im super amazing actually and i dont know what those words mean. in the context of coding.

53. Do you consider different browsers?

not really. i just use firefox and go "eh it'll be fine"

54. Speaking of, what's your preferred browser? Convince your readers why they should use it.

firefox.. its legit one of the only (if not the only) NON chromium browsers. its starting to suck more, like they're incoroprating more ai shit than before which is terrible and they're making it look uglier. but there is no way i'll use chrome. occasionally i open it if i need something specific, but other than that i let it rot on my computer. i used to use vivaldi but idk. firefox.

55. And what OS are you on?

im on macos big sur (11.8.6). i can technically go up to the next 11.whatever but even if i got there i couldn't upgrade anymore so i dont care. plus apples shit just keeps getting uglier and worse so i dont want to

56. Do you have a strong opinion on that, or do you just happen to use it?

mostly just happen to use it, i got the computer for free from some guy i know who likes computers and shit and [my computer] sucks a bit but works enough you know. i had to replace the battery because you would have it unplugged and genuinely five minutes later it would shut down. it has terrible ram and not a lot of storage. getting something nicer would be swell but also thats 1) a ton of money that i dont have, and 2)what computer would i get. they basically all suck. either you get something from apple (ew) or you get something from windows (also ew) or you go linux and im not doing that.

57. Are your websites mobile-friendly?

maybe? i dont check and personaly i dont really feeling like pandering to mobile (which considering more ppl have phones than computers isnt a good "strategy" but i cant be arsed to care.)

58. What are your thoughts on autoplay?

i dont really care about it much. firefox by default disables it for me so usually it just amounts to an unecesary amount of hassle ither way.

59. What are your thoughts on webrings? Are you in any?

theire fun. im in a few (you can see them on my home page) i really need to go round and check out other websites from them. i want to leave nice comments in guestbooks but sometimes writing something legible with somebody else in mind (bcz your talking about smth somebody spent time to make) is really hard and i dont wanna

60. Do you have any web shrines? What do you like to see in that sort of page?

not at the momtne, really. i think they are cool and it would be fun to have one. i like it when it feels like you walked into someones room and your looking at their shelf with pictures and magazine clippings and toys or whatever of the thing the shrine is about.

61. Are your websites "cliche", in your opinion?

maybe? probably a little but if you think about anything for too long it becomes cliche by existing so yk

62. What is your ideal website? Are you striving for that, or for something else?

im not sure what my ideal website. i suppose a place that kinda feels like "home" where i can do whatever i want about the stuff i care about. im still working towards making this website being better and cooler but it takes time.

63. Are you an artist? Do you draw or design your own assets?

so i am an artist by the fact that i draw and write and create stuff but not a professional one for sure. sometimes i'll make a blinkie but i dont really do art specifically for my website.

64. What are your favourite resource sites?

i like w3schools.. stack exchange can be good, tumblr and just using other websites too. they sometimes have linked resourses or tutorials or i just look at the source code.

65. Is there a habit you just can't get away from no matter how hard you try?

probably? nothing really comes to minnd right awy

66. What's your biggest advice for a new webmaster?

dont worry about making your website perfect. make it for the fun of it or because theres a goal in your mind. nibble away at stuff and keep learning. try things out - if they dont work or you dont like them you can always delete them.

67. Do you keep all your styling in CSS? Or do you hard-code some?

some of both, though most of it is in CSS

68. What do you think of frameset layouts?

idk what that means :(

69. How about table-based layouts?

i dont know if ive ever used a table.. idk if i could recognize if somebody was using a talbe based layout..

70. Do you subscribe to the ideas of "one-column", "two-column" and "three-column" layouts? Do you use any of these?

uhm to be honest ive never seen these ideas beofre? so like i probably use one of them but i dont know lol

71. Do you spend longer on the HTML or the CSS?

usually i spend more time trying to figure out the CSS but i do more in the html. i'm just worse at CSS so it takes longer

72. Have you ever made a page with no CSS? It's useful for your thoughts.

this one so far doesnt have any css. i think ive made some before but i dont have any currently on this website.

73. Do you ever find yourself making layouts with nothing to put on them? Or do you only make layouts when the need arises?

nope. i make a layout when i need one (bcz i dont have a good method, i just fuck around, it would be pretty useless for me to spend a bunch of time tryna make a layout to not use it.)

74. Would you consider yourself a beginner? Or advanced? Somewhere in the middle?

probably somewhere in the midddle, more towards begginer. but maybe i'm better than i give myself credit for. early middle then.

75. Do you have a habit of looking at the source code of websites you visit?

not a habit. i do it occasionally, but thats usually if i like something they did and i wanna know how to do it, then ill go poking aruond

76. How did YOU learn how to make websites?

mistakes. i dont know how i started out, but i just spent a lot of time duckduckgoing things to see how they work. it took a while to get anywyere.

77. Do you ever force elements to do things they're not supposed to?

probably?

78. Thoughts on floating elements?

theire confusing. i dont really dabble that much in that stuff so i dont really have any opinions

79. When you're sizing stuff, what do you use first? Do you use px, em, %, or something else?

i tend to go for px, sometimes i use %.

80. Do you have a favourite font?

no

81. Would you run a website with another person? How would that work?

i think it could be fun, i dont have anyone to do that with. in my mind it would be like you both have corners of it with a main section, or you're both more in charge of every aspect. im not really sure. it would probably depend on the person too.

82. Do you surf the Web to find new personal websites very often?

hmm every once in a while. i tend to stick to neocities thought, since i can filter with tags.

83. Do you bookmark other people's websites? How would you feel knowing someone else bookmarked yours?

yep. i like to bookmark them if they have stuff i find cool or inspiring. i would be really really honoured if i knew that somebody bookmarked mine. i would probably wonder why they did that but i would be really happy. i like it when people like what i make, and this website is no exceptoin.

84. What do you want people to be most impressed with when they see your website?

i have no idea. i think i just kinda want them to think that i must be a cool person XD

85. Are you interested in technology outside of websites? Do you collect?

uhmm so sorta? not really much from a tech lense about things like computers and phones you know. i think some computers are hot, but im not really that interested in learning how they work TOT. i like cars (transformers....) and think some of them are hot too, and there is some interest in theire mechanincs and engines. i dont really collect much. i have a bunch of iphones for some reason? i got them from our neighbour and only used two of them (the first one i used i stopped because the camera was FRIED and i needed on that works so.) on the collection note i tend to do random items. or transformers stuff. i have some comics ans figurines

86. How often and for how long are you online?

too long. i have a hard time dealing with the anxiety of going out and i fit under the term of NEET so i have a lot of time on my hands.

87. When it comes to your website, who is your target audience?

me. me all the way. others who like it is like a really nice bonus

88. Have you ever been interested in XHTML?

so i dont really know what XHTML is in comparison to HTML so maybe. i dont know..

89. Do you program in general? Have you ever written a program for use with or on your website, not counting simple JavaScript?

i used to more than now. ive followed along tutorials a few tiems (made a text based adventure game in python a few years ago). simple javascript my ass. (i just rmemembered that i do have some javascript on my website but i didnt code it). i have beef with javascript for some reason and i dont think i would consider it "simple". anyways i only code in html/css nowadays

90. Speaking of programs that help you make websites, what do you think of static site generators (SSGs)? Have you ever used one?

i might have used one before? the only thing that might be one is sadgirrls website layout generator but idk if thats SSG. i think its funner when you do all the "generating" yourself but like. if your gonna use a SSG your gonna use one. whatever you know. as long as your not using gen ai im ok.

91. Do you keep a hitcounter? Why or why not?

nope. i had one for a little while but it got removed. i dont really care about how many ppl visit and i dont really feel the need to have a hit counter.

92. Do you frequent forums? Which ones?

not as an active user. i used to be on the nanowrimo sites but they got shut down. i poke around on the transformers forums on the 2005 something or other site (i forgot the url) from time to time, but i dont like a lot of the opinions there so i tend to only go there for important stuff. i dont use reddit unless i need something specific.

93. Do you write your page content directly into the editor, or do you prepare it elsewhere, like a text document or a Word document?

directly into the editor XD and i save and reload my webpages pretty frenquently. ill bet neocities thinks that what are all registered "individual hits" are actually just me

94. Do you think you appear cool to others? A more accurate answer now: do other people ever say you're cool?

i have no idea. i hope so. i dont know if anyone has ever said i'm cool

95. Are you embarrassed of your old work? Have you ever deleted everything out of shame?

yeah. i dont tend to delete stuff out of shame, typically i delete stuff cuz its no longer relevant.

96. Would you close down your website if you couldn't update it, or would you leave an archive?

hmm. probably leave an archive. but i thinkg i would go thru and delete stuff from it lol

97. Do you reveal a lot about yourself on your website? Or are you more secretive?

i have no idea. i know i FEEL like i reveal a lot.

98. Are you willing to reveal who your best online friend is, and/or if they have a website?

i dont have a "best online friend" and the people i tend to interact with dont have websites.

99. And do you optimise the images on your website?

no. i just take what i want and upload it to neocities and call it a day

100. We're out of time! How do you feel after answering 100 questions? ....other than exhausted.

like i've said too much LMFAO
