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.
2025 Resolutions
I used to make lists every year with many resolutions, but I am not the best person in the world when it comes to accomplishment. lol I really need a job. I’ve been sending CVs for the past couple of months and I am more than ready to punch the next person who asks me about work in the face. I can’t do that, though, unless I cross the Atlantic Ocean.
I also want to travel more. I’ve been to Belfast and London so far, but I want to visit Portugal and some more places in the UK. There are so many countries in Europe I would love to visit. As a comparison, travelling across countries in Europe is cheaper than travelling across states in Brazil. However, I’m not the kind of person who enjoys budget trips (for me, trips must be more comfortable than my own house). I’d rather travel less, but travel more comfortably.
I know lots of people who go from one country to another in a few hours just to post new flags on Instagram, which is something I disapprove. I hate travelling on a rush, and that’s why I don’t do it often.
I won’t even get started on “I need to lose weight”, because that’s something I should have started ten years ago and it only gets worse. 🙁 I do hope I can get healthier this year, though. I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself this time. I want to walk more and eat as clean as possible.
What are your 2025 resolutions? Share in the comments below! 🙂

Happy New Year! And great to see you’re working on your website so much. I’m excited to see all the changes and developments over time. 😀 Contrary to just browsing a social media feed, it’s so much more fulfilling to see someone playing around with their very own page on the web and make it absolutely 100% theirs.
Yeah, the need for responsiveness is annoying. It does limit your design options quite a bit, especially when you don’t want to adhere to new age webdesign standards.
As for New Year’s resolutions, I don’t really have any, other than being determined to grow my own website rapidly and post at least twice a week. There are also several mini games and other projects I would love to finish or develop as much as possible.
Weight loss? Yeah… let’s try to eat as clean as possible and take a few extra steps where we can! 😀
