SITE CREDITS

As you've no doubt noticed, I coded this website myself, with my own two hands (well, mostly two fingers). During my long and arduous coding journey, I often needed help (so much help) and resources, so I've decided to credit everyone and everything that I've used on one page. I also thought it might help anyone on their own coding journey who might be wondering how I did something, or where I grabbed an image from (because this happens to me constantly... and it's annoying when I can't find out).

Anything I've not listed was probably learned on W3Schools or borrowed from GifCities. All original images were created by me in Canva.

GRAPHICS

• Adrian's Blinkie Collection, A.N. Lucas's Web Lounge & Y2K
  • I grabbed some retro 88x31 web buttons here.
• Bonnibel's Graphic Collection
  • I used a little thumbs up emoji from the Emojis page. If you're looking for cute graphics, you'll find a huge collection here.
• Flaticon
  • This is where I got the social icons placed at the foot of every page. I like Flaticon because the icons are free to download, and you can edit/change the colours right on the website.
• SubtlePatterns
  • Home of my fancy green-speckled background. I like to imagine it looks like an alien universe.

LAYOUT

• EGGRAMEN
  • I grabbed the message box code from here. It was part of a site template called ~~garbage~~. FYI, the actual template isn't garbage, and you can use it on your own site for free (lots of other templates, too).
• Repth
  • You wouldn't believe the trouble I had trying to get the cat that sleeps on top of my footer to hang over the box below it. It almost drove me to drink, but then I found Repth's collection of website templates and was able to figure it out by copying what they did on a Pompompurin-inspired journal theme. True story.

CODE STUFF

• CSS Flexbox Layout Guide
  • This CSS-Tricks guide is invaluable whenever I become totally flummoxed trying to make my flexboxes behave.
• Leon's NeoCities Page
  • This is where I found the code for the fade-in-out effect at the top of my full screen site menus. There's lots of other text styles here, too.

EVERYTHING ELSE

• IMAGECOLORPICKER.com
  • This site is really handy for designing layout colours. You can upload any image and find the HEX colour code or RGB value of any colour in it.
• Neocities
  • This is where my site is hosted. You can make your own site for free, and it's an awesome place to find Web 1.0-inspired cyber marvels. The web doesn't have to be bland and soulless.
• WebNeko
  • Did you notice the little cat hanging out at the top right of my front page? If you click on him, he'll chase your mouse cursor.😻
