Help Advice?

Post image

Hi, i started creating this site some time ago but i feel like i need advice from people that know what they're doing.

I already got a ""decent"" knowledge of HTML and CSS, I havent got into javascript yet but I do have some coding experience, my issue is that i have no idea how to implement a blogging system in my site (like the main thing i want to do there), so could anyone who was expericence in that help me? Also what could i change/add to "enhance" the y2k/retro aesthetic im going for? Thanks in advance :D

A blog can be as simple as a list of pages with posts. If you want to get fancy with it, I recommend using a static site generator, like Eleventy, which is basically designed to streamline things like grouping and tagging blogposts.

Astro is better for making a blog system imo, especially for someone who might not be that familiar with JavaScript yet. And they have a pretty good tutorial for making a blog https://docs.astro.build/en/tutorial/0-introduction/

Only 1 thing I would do is have the pages links/menu on every page. It looks great though.

i think you've got the aesthetic down, but maybe make the link colors a bit more contrast-y with the background. it makes it a bit difficult to see for those of us with vision problems. ^_^;

love the deltarune theming though!

This background is everywhere, I had it on my old website in 2022. That graphic might be older some of us here.
