New Layout!

Hey everyone! This is just a post to announce that the main website, Prismatic Pink, is finally out! As I expressed before, I have been wanting to experiment more with HTML and CSS, so a hand-coded website better suits my needs.

Other than that, my next project will be a pixel art subdomain. As a child, I always dreamed of creating those tiny pixel websites with compact menus and small text areas. I guess it’s never too late to make those small dreams come true, right? lol

I know my post about indie web has received positive feedback, and I would like to thank everyone who took the time to read it and share their thoughts. I won’t lie that I was injected with optimism (and honestly, that’s great! Those who know me irl have never seen me being optimistic about anything lol) the moment I wrote it. After spending months browsing around some sites, I understood that the problems with social media are still here, maybe a bit sugarcoated under pages of manifestos and blinding GIFs. Sure, there are no algorithms curating our experience on the indie web, but it does not mean there are no active echo chambers when webmasters themselves organically build them. But hey, at least we aren’t doing these things under Musk’s or Zuckerberg’s platforms, and our whole drama is ✨fully customisable with HTML and CSS✨.

Thank you for reading. See you later!

New Year, New Site, New Resolutions

Hey everyone! I am writing this post to announce my website will go through some changes.

New Subdomains

You might have noticed that the URL for the blog is now blog.prismatic.pink instead of prismatic.pink. I decided to branch out into different subdomains because I want to challenge myself and get a more hands-on approach to coding. I also enjoy way too many different designs and I want to be better able to express my artistic vision in different ways.

I made this decision because I wanted this blog to be responsive (a.k.a. mobile-friendly) so I could easily share my texts with people. However, designing responsive websites compromises creative freedom. I really enjoy what I did with this blog, it’s the furthest I’ve ever been with HTML and CSS (and my hubby helped me a lot with JS and PHP). It’s also managed with WordPress, a very convenient solution for blogging. I can say that it’s 90% hand-coded (I just got the PHP functions from a pre-made layout).

Prismatic.pink is under construction right now, but soon it will be the main page. I will add the webrings, listings, and creative stuff in general. I also want a separate subdomain for pixel art, but I haven’t started yet.

My Thoughts on Indie Web and Web Revival

When I decided to create this blog and finally launched my first post two weeks ago, the only motivation was to reclaim my personal space on the web. I have been talking to my late Millennial/early Gen Z friends and we all share the same thoughts on social media: we are all sick and tired of it. We all miss those times when the internet meant freedom, the online spaces allowed us to be more creative, no algorithms were used to define what we should or shouldn’t read, etc.
