Thinking of writing a page on the phenomenons that are "Senketsu A-kochan" and "Kane to Juusei". These two menhera bands are practically the only experimental bands in the modern Visual Kei scene. Their domestic audience is measly in comparison to the international audience, but these fans are predominantly 14, and the lyrics' topics are uniquely Japanese? It makes no sense. PLUS their fans hate each other...? why

Yeah! I used to do them unofficially, but now that I've got some time to myself I thought I'd make it official :-)

I copied all my fonts from my Windows laptop to my BSD laptop and I've never been happier. Believe it or not *fonts* were the penultimate hurdle (the final hurdle, of course, is how am I going to get my 1200 DPI scans without the proprietary software??)

I get it! Consolas and Palatino Linotype genuinely contribute to quality of life. However, copying these files is also potentially a violation of the license on the files: not something you'll get trouble for in practice at a personal scale, but bothersome. Artifex's URW 35 and the Microsoft Core fonts for the web provide a basic alternative to most of the fonts the web is built around.

Good modern designs are sometimes made free: Inconsolata, Source Serif, Gentium, Brill, Alegreya …

This article has been a long time coming. Enjoy my complaints about Neocities websites, and my proposals on what to do.

I was surprised at the resurgence of splash pages. Thought I saw the last of that sort of things 20 years ago.

Thank you for useful ideas!! Happy to see people having different opinions on neocities/nekoweb communities and I have some same pet peeves like ya, especially the DNI and eyestrain (Sometimes), so still thank you for tell it out, I'm still thinking about make a mobile version for my personal website.

Exactly why I got rid of my splash page, it was starting to annoy *me* (who I assume is the most frequent visitor to my webpage), and I thought, what even is the point of this thing? So I got rid of it a few months ago. All your other tips/ideas are useful as well, thanks for publishing this ^^

Genuinely didn't know about the domestic vs international divide AND the hate between fans (... granted, I don't go out of my way to go into vk fan spaces anymore lol so I dont know what type of drama is unfolding between bands fans at all)-- I would be very interested to see a write up about it!!!
