~~~ Decorating your MelonLand Room! ~~~

When you joined the forum you automatically unlocked your very own and very cool web room! Its like a tiny personal website just for you (and other melonlanders) to edit; if you have never done any web-craft before its a great place to get started.

Editing your room is entirely optional and you can ignore it if you like; but since this is a web crafting forum, I really encourage you to play around with it and do some web crafting!!

• Click here to access your room editor!
• You can just write regular text, but you can also start adding HTML tags to really do stuff! Click here to learn about those!
• Click the "Public View" button to visit the live web version of your room!

A Big Haloooooooooooo 

Wow this is an intense post right, and I bet your a bit overwhelmed, but that's good because life is difficult and full of struggles! You don't need to struggle with your halooooo though; when you are ready feel free to let everyone knows you're here with a snappy post on the greetings board!

Here's some ideas!

• What's your favourite HTML tag?
• Do you have a site or a blog?
• What do you love most about making things on the web? (or off the web!)
• Did you decorate your room? Share its link so everyone can seeeeee
  

WELCOME TO THE MELONLAND FORUM aaaaaaaaa 

P.S. You can view the old archived Greetings Boards here!

[Fisher Moon]

Hi, I'm Fisher (he/him). Cohost refugee, has had a Neocities, lurked on here but never joined because I kept forgetting. Anyway, to answer the introductory, I generally just use a mix of divs/text/images, but <figcaption> is cool just for the name. Also <script>, since I don't know any JS.

[Lucera]

hi, it seems i finally got in!
I'm Lucera, but you can call me Luiza if you so wish. I don't have a website yet, i have plans of making one in the future.
I like to draw, to play videogames and listen to music! 

 

[rennco]

Hello! I'm Ren   I made a website to, among other things, practise being more open about my interests (generally Japanese media but the newest shiny thing for me is DC comics haha). It's been pretty smooth sailing so far, so I figured I should take the next step and join a community of people who like webstuff. 

As for the html tag question, I guess it'd be "<section>". It's super satisfying to see stuff sorted out. Also, I just learned about it when I looked up HTML tags but I'd say "<legend>" and "<dialog>" look interesting too. Makes me wanna use them somewhere on my website... 

[Oceansandy02]

Hi! I'm Ocean! I am Genderfluid, and I use he/they pronouns. I like video games, object shows, and art! My favorite object show Is TPOT! I also want to distance myself from social media. Apparently, I'm also the 2000th user, so there is that I guess.

[Kwthekat007]

hi my name's kw and im new here i made a website on neocities but i decided not to link it til i get to redoing it(which might be a while XD) but for now i customized my fourm profile i dont rlly know what else 2 add but i think its pretty good 4 now~

[DeltaFrost]

Hi there, I'm now Delta and this is just my reintroduction post. I used to go by the username HydraTriangle on Neocities ('Hydra'), but my new project is now DeltaFrost. I've been having a lot of fun with it! I hope to stick with it but if I do change the site again or make other projects I'll try to remember to update my Melonland profile again as well. I would like to be active in this community again. 

[Seryndelle]

Howdy-doody once again! I made an introduction post last year, but I wanted to reintroduce myself, because for a time, I was using a different handle on this forum (and throughout the Web Revival as a whole). My name is Seryndelle (she/her). I've returned to this account largely for gender-related reasons, as funny as that may sound. This username just feels a lot closer to the kind of vibe I want to convey to the Web

As for my favourite HTML tag—I'm so glad you asked! In the past week or so, I've returned at long last to my site. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say I've returned to my URL, given that I basically deleted everything and started building it again from the ground up! Anyway, all this to say, since I've been coding by hand this time (rather than using a layout generator—no hate to those who choose to use generators though!), I feel much more au fait with HTML tags and whatnot.

The first tag that came to mind when I read the question was actually the <\hr> tag (without the backslash), which creates a horizontal line across the page. It was one of the first elements (besides <h1> and <p>) that I added to my website this time around, and I feel like it provided a great structural foundation for me to get my head around organising the rest of the site's content!

That said, my heart belongs to <a>; hyperlinking is both an art form and, as you put it yourself, Melon, the lifeblood of the web. Without linking, we'd never be able to enjoy the adventure that comes with tumbling down an internet rabbit hole! 

[hydromaniac]

 Hi!! I'm Castiel and I use they/she pronouns! I'm not really much of a coder (I do it for fun), but I really want to be a part of this community! I identify as agender and biromantic asexual. I really hope we can be friends! I don't bite, I promise. <333 

I'm not sure of how active I'll be, but I look forward to meeting you all regardless. I hope to meet some other people like me, so if we seem to click, don't hesitate to reach out! Please check out my profile for more info. 

[zestpunk]

Yo. The name's zestpunk. I'm an artist and amateur coder. Only recently got into coding in the last 7 months or so but I've been having a lot of fun doing it. Hoping to learn how to get more creative with my web design. If I had to pick a favorite html tag it'd probably be the <iframe> tag. Nice to meet ya.

[microbyte]

Hello,
I’m Macrobyte. I really like philosophy, science, and technology, and try to be somewhat of a polymath. I also like running, and am pretty decent at it.

I have a website at microbyte.neocities.org. If you ever wanna get in touch about something (eg, discussing an article I wrote, or anything in general), you can email microbyt3@proton.me, or, for a relatively timely response, macrobyte on forum[dot]ago ra road[dot]com

[maset]

Hello!!! Im maset!! I found this site through melonking's site through neocities

I like CSS and HTML for web developing because it is like a paintbrush. Anyone can hold it and use it, but only true artists can paint something beautiful !

Java (not javascript) is also a really cool language because it can do anything and run anywhere!

[PrinceDoraleous]

Howdy,

I'm PrinceDoraleous, but feel free to call me Dora! :)

I like older technology and video games.

Never been good at talking about myself, but I hope to get better.

What's your favorite HTML tag??

I haven't done HTML in a long time, so I'll just leave you with this microwaved potato:

[Moosen]

Heyo!!
My name is Moosen, I am a hobbyist artist who primarily focuses on character design! 
I created my neocities site back in 2021 but really got around to customizing it recently.

I am personally inspired by mid 2000's flash game websites, specifically those focused on cartoon and toy brands
(Even though in hindsight, they were practically interactive advertisements haha)

This is mostly reflected through how dedicated my website is to my original characters!
(I promise I am so normal about them  <--- they are obsessed.)

Ummm, I don't know how to wrap this up so...I look forward to talking to new people! ^^

PS. I guess my favorite tag would have to be <img> because you gotta have at least 5 fish gifs on your website

[Nuggets_wurld]
