Website’s first guestbook! I hosted it on my site using this sweet little service by meadow.cafe. I loved it sooo much, but I couldn’t quite figure out how to reply to people, so I reluctantly switched over to Atabook.

I’ve really grown to love it! Both are wonderful!

At the time, this was my cleanest and what I thought was my best use of space for an Index! This Index was actually featured in Felix's Website of the Month for July, and I was honestly so excited to be chosen.. it felt incredibly honorable.

I still really adore this layout, even though, judging by the images, it looks a little bit broken. The two boxes where pages failed to load was a self-made calendar at the top and the bottom was a vertical Last.fm widget I had made. I love the coastal preppy vibe I was going for, I’ll probably switch back to this color palette soon~

I tried a few new things with this layout, most notably the dark mode toggle and the music player. I’m still extremely proud of my music player, I thought the little heart-shaped volume knob was absolutely adorable and very clever! The calendar and widget are visible here, and the layout overall was so cute and girly, kind of like a Tumblr Rosyblog aesthetic!

I also added a tiny dog image that would run across the screen in a marquee! sooo cute. I need to bring that back. These pages were really beautiful, but I eventually realized that a big index page just wasn’t for me.

I really loved this layout! It took me so long to figure out how to make the box flow seamlessly into the image. It’s pretty simple overall, but I still like it.

This felt like a pretty innovative design in my world. I had never made anything like it before! I originally planned to use it to document my shopping trips and share my thoughts on upcoming trends or aesthetics for certain months. I love timeless, preppy fashion, so I wanted a dedicated space to display all of that. It featured tag filters for the articles and even a little chick that would run across the screen!

But unfortunately, just like my diary page, I didn’t end up using it for very long — only three updates on a page I worked so hard on… oh well! I think in the future I’ll create a commonplace page where I can share everything I wanted to post here, plus other things I’m interested in too. Overall, it was a very cute design :) I especially loved the polka-dot marquee background that scrolled up the page — I’ll probably reuse that somewhere again! ^^
