32-bit cafe's spring 2023 event

[xandra]

hi all! if you're not on our discord (the 18+ 32-bit cafe), we're having a seasonal event that anyone can participate in. the deadline to submit your webpage is march 21, 2023, so you have plenty of time if you want to jump in! you get a fun 88x31 badge for participating. :)

the idea is to have a webpage on our sites dedicated to something spring related. it could be your favorite spring recipes, flora and fauna around your town, or just a shrine dedicated to your favorite spring activities! you can have a pixel adoptable or just photos of flowers; it's totally up to you!

you can read more at https://32bit.cafe/spring23/ and submit your site through the form there. :)

I didn't know this existed! I like this idea very much, just joined, thank you! 

Edit:
@xandra
perhaps a bit of a silly question, but are mushrooms considered "spring related" ? I live on a place with very unconventional weather patterns and also very humid so we have mushrooms all year long but maybe it is different and not considered spring-y for others 

[Memory]

This is a really cool idea! I think I will participate in some way.

ooh this looks really fun! (and perfect motivation for me to make the seasonal events page I've been wanting to make~)
time to start brainstorming

[xandra]

yes, of course! :) whatever you feel like embodies spring (or autumn, for our friends down under!) to you!

I made a spring themed seasonal page for Libre Town as part of this event! Have fun.

Did it shut down? The site is no longer available.

i would love to participate! 

@xandra
should i wait until my page is totally finished before i submit or is it okay to send works in progress? i had the idea to make a pollinator garden collage out of photos i've taken of flowers and bugs this spring, but the bugs aren't really out yet in my area. i'll probably be adding to the page right up until the deadline (and a little after, if that's okay?)

@/home/user/
i don't think it shut down for good! i've noticed the page go up and down a couple times in the past few days.

[levya]

the site is down for me right now so I'll have to submit later, but I finished my spring page today!

oh no! it has NOT shut down, just an issue with the host. :) getting to the bottom of it, thank you so much for letting me know!

you can go ahead and submit a work in progress if it'll be finished by the 21st! the list of participants will be "revealed" on the 21st, so as long as it looks the way you want to by then, feel free! :)

edit: the site is back up, so feel free to submit :)

[xandra]

more than a day left to submit your spring page!    i'm so impressed with all the submissions so far, i can't wait to share them!!!

don't forget, you get an adorable 88x31 for participating and join a link roll for your site. you'll be able to submit your page by 11:59 a.m. pdt on march 21st!

there's still a bunch i'd like to add before the deadline, but for those who want a sneak preview, my page can be found here! warning for moving bug images. it's mostly flowers though!

edit: i went a bit wilder with the bugs than i'd originally planned. they are jumpin' all around, so proceed with caution if you're not into that!
