This is one of my many iterations of my website, made because I got bored of my old one, didn't like some of the design decisions in it, and also needed another Horizons project! This time, I wanted to make it as readable and accessible as possible, simplistic and easy to update, and using as little JS as possible.
A lot of the design is basically just inspired from my old site. That one wasn't actually originally intended to become my new website, but due to the easy and simple design, I decided I liked it more than my old one. Also, I learned with that one that I enjoy making my blog posts not as really just essays, but more as full HTML pages where I can use all of the features available there to make it unique~
"Simple" means that I don't want to have to use a template of any kind, so any shared design is very minimalistic. (like the "back" button at the bottom)
As to how I made this site, it's really simply made actually. I just typed up some HTML files in Vim, lol. It's a very simple design, mainly just using h1, h2, a and p elements. No AI was used in the making of this website.
I think I might try in the future to separate out "pages" a bit more. For example, I want to divide frequently-updating pages from simple, one-time, blog-type posts. Overall, though, I want it to be more like a collection of pages than a blog (You can kind of already see this, with how this "about" page is almost its own blog post!!
Also, the tags are almost all UPPERCASE. This is because I heard somewhere that older pages would do this so that they looked better without syntax highlighting. I don't know if this is true, but it looks cool so I started doing it.
