What inspired you/made you want to create a personal website?

I don't really remember HOW I found Neocities, but back in 2022 I found it and made a small website that I would eventually go back to in 2023 to refine.

What are some challenges you've faced in the process of creating and maintaining a site?

Coming up with layout designs orz. Sometimes I have no ideas, and I get stuck for a bit. I'll eventually come up with something, though.

Imagine your site five years from now (even if you may or may not be running the same site five years down the line, or may have closed it out as a completed project)... What do you think it will look like, or what would you want it to look like?

I'd like to hope its still up by then... My current site is not actually my original site, though I do consider the old one a success (I met a lot of cool people). I imagine I'd have a much different look to my site than how it looks now. I was able to keep the old site's (crtstatic.neocities.org. if anyone remembers it.) layout consistent for over a full year, but I was worse at coding than I am now.

What inspired you/made you want to create a personal website?

being sick to death of modern big social media, and how flavorless it all is. not just in the culture, but in its looks; i wanted an online space that had more personality and self-expression capabilities than "black/white background + avatar". i wanted a page that i could edit any time i want, without worrying about whether it's good enough for da algorithm

What are some challenges you've faced in the process of creating and maintaining a site?

finding the right host for it. at first i used linktree; BOOOOORING. then i tried straw.page; buggy, sluggish, and still has incomplete features. it was then that i discovered bear blog, and it was love at first sight. making my website was as easy as selecting a theme, editing the CSS to my liking, and boom, i have a cute little website that i can be proud of

i would like for my site to still be up and active, of course. as for its content... maybe my blog will get a refresh; and my video, music, and photo pages will contain even better work of mine than i currently have on display. i don't foresee myself changing its appearance; i'm pretty happy with how it looks
