Blog Entry — "State of Site 2025" (September 28, 2025)
Back to Blog
You ever start coding a whole new look for your own personal site, stand back to look at your work, and immediately feel like the old design was just better?
Yeah. Me too.
This site has been a little dead over the past year, and I didn't really want it to be this way... but big life changes get in the way of that pretty quick. I completely moved across the country to live with my girlfriend, which is both exhilirating and scary! I'm still trying to settle down into everything while also moving forward in other fronts for my personal life, and who knows if I'll ever truly leave this state. What is life, if not a perpetual forward motion and constant change against your will? Yeesh.
While waiting for the apartment, I helped my girlfriend update her site a bit, which spurred me on to try and re-code mine too... and though I liked some of the designs I came up with, I just... kind of like the style I currently have. It just looks really nice! Just needs more stuff to show off.
Which is what I'd like to maybe try and work on in the future. I have a few things in mind for what I'd like to fix or add...
- General site map adjustments; things feel really unorganized currently and I'd like to fix this ASAP. The sidebars may be changed to suit, too. May remove some pages that I just feel don't suit my standards anymore...
- Make this my hub for my Power Rangers fan season, with character info, setting info and lore, and more. I tried shopping around on some other sites for a good place to simply dump information on this project of mine, and I thought I settled on ToyHouse... but now I think I'll just put everything here on one uncomfortably long page.
- Logs of my Pokemon challenge runs that I do intend to complete someday but just can't get myself to focus on it for too long smh.
- More work on the Disneyland of My Mind project. I intended to do a lot more expanding on it, and making a ton of maps and assorted visuals. I've made a few already, but they need some tweaking, and I currently don't have a great setup for using my drawing tablet...
- Expanding on my lifetime Minecraft world's lore. Needs more screenshots...
- More progress on my Power Rangers and Disney Watch Party projects... will have to prod at my GF, who is involved in both at this point...
- speaking of my girlfriend, she asked me about how to set up a blog on NeoCities for her own site, so now I am spurred on to possibly make a blog template for such a thing... stay tuned to see if I actually make that!
Anyways, yeah, that's all I got for now. I'd like to do more blog posts in the future like this, but I'd have to try and trick myself into believing that my own thoughts and stuff are something people might be interested in reading. We'll see!
