so this is just gonna be bullet notes i'm learning

so my layout.js has the defer on it basically it loads everything before some of my content loads so i have to go back and fix things on top of that switching layouts was a whole nother mind boggle to me (it looks like the same on your end but over here its alot lmao) i'd like to write a tutorial on it but i can't write a tutorial on it until i understand it -_- lol

• layout.js being deferred might be affecting the execution order of your other scripts. Since defer ensures layout.js loads before the DOMContentLoaded event but after parsing, other inline scripts might execute before it finishes

• what im going to TRY to do:

- Move Inline Scripts to DOMContentLoaded Since defer ensures layout.js loads before the page is fully interactive, you can wrap your inline scripts inside an event listener
- try placing other < script > tags before the < script src="/layout.js" defer >< /script> , so they execute before layout.js

back to a white neocities profile pic lmao

anytime I embed soundcloud it just slows down my page speed thus here we are again. tried to just put 3 songs on this time but as you can see.... plan to add my journal and stuff to my actual index page but i'm still messing around with coding things so it's not on the priority list. weird cause this was just meant to kinda be a little blog site of mine and instead i find myself just addicted to learning random JS, html and css tips and tricks. guess neocities is the right place for that.
note for myself: i think it may be best to keep "all blog posts blablabla" without layout.js bc they are still able to link into the main div as long as i place "div id main" on those pages, which would then continue allow me to put my ALL blog posts into iframes, allowing me to not make duplicate content and only having to make one post each time decreasing frame work o.0

can i stop adulting now?

i'm just super confused lol. i bought my house in 2024 ( obv still have a mortgage ) but i bought it not in a flood zone and NOW suddenly i am in a flood zone according to insurance or however it works? so now i need flood insurance? i just think its BS honestly, i never would have bought this house if it was in a "flood zone". i'm just trying to figure things out.. but anyways besides i want to say i'm learning javascript but it's still super confusing, i have been asking help from chat GPT. ( to my surprise it is useful ) but i don't get it, lol. chat gpt is recommending i change my site to a grid or flex layout? this is alot so i'm trying to understand but idk lol. i plan to try to change my site layout soon into javascript but..... well see how that goes, lol. i'm sure it will be frustration. anyways if you're reading this i hope you are doing okay.

e m o t i o n z

Just having alot of emotions recently, alot in my life is changing A G A I N. kinda wanna go get pierced because i haven't had a new piercing in forever. i don't have tattoos because my mom always asked me not too. i'd probably have my whole body covered if it wasn't for her always asking me to never get any. doesn't really matter because she's gone but some part of me still feels like i can't get any still, like some unwritten promise between life and death i guess. feeling like i might re-do my whole site navigation again and just move things around and then regret it later. almost laughed out loud writing that but it's true. i wanna make like a seperate resources category for different things or sites i like just don't really know how to go about it, or where to place it either. probably gonna binge alot of useless updates to keep my brain going, sorry in advance. hope if you're reading this you're doing okay.

&& were back

Kinda mad I deleted my journal >.< Came to the realization that not everyone’s going to understand or support you but that’s okay, that’s life. I thought showing my S.O. would think it was cool what I did in my free time but instead was ridiculed for “playing on the computer.” Anyways, end lesson here is do what makes you happy regardless of what other people think. 🧘
