been a couple of uneventful months for the site...

i got done with finals at the beginning of may, and life has just been one long roller coaster since i finished my semester. so far this summer, i have:

• gotten one (EXTREMELY PAINFUL!) kidney stone that put me in the ER,
• spent a week recovering & trying to pass it
• worked a middle school band camp for my university (where i passed the stone! and conducted 80 students for the first time)
• worked my regular weekend job, gone to the renaissance faire, ate at a yummy crab boil
• gotten a little depressed and haven't wanted to do anything
• played splatoon 3

now that i am (hopefully) back to "regular life," i can continue working on my site as usual.

however, those who were interested/contacted/contacted me about the indiewebsource project, i am heavy hearted when i say i have made the decision to no longer pursue the project. i realized over this past month that i did not have the time or (mainly) energy to continue working on a separate site and possibly jeaporadize the healing process that this site has been. thank you to those who were interested & i am very sorry to have to close it :(

hello! lots of things have been going on behind the scenes, thought you all would appreciate knowing what's been going on.

• webmaster's corner has been completely revamped! i have shucked the ramblings out the window in favor of a better layout (and one less thing i feel the need to update constantly) and a new "about me" tab.
• /projects/medialog now exists, along with all of my thoughts about my recent finishes from the beginning of the year until now.
• i have now published a repository of the site on github! for those interested, here is the link: https://github.com/leizy8499/website (there is also a full archive of the site dating back to version 3.
• total /resources rehaul! new resources, updated buttons, fresh theme, and a collapsable section all have been implemented for ease of use & to liven the space back up again.

i am trying my damndest to respond to chatbox/guestbook/emails in a timely fashion (out of respect of people's time & thought in leaving me such nice messages). i appreciate all of you :)

happy new year everyone! i've just made a few small updates.

• broken buttons have been updated in the neighborhood
• featured page replaced to /projects/templates/MUSE.html
• calendar replaced to JAN 2026! i'm hoping to eventually do a JS calendar with custom backgrounds, but for now there are little monthly pinterest calendars lmao.
• minidex has been updated to include /minidex/journal.html

and that's all for now. some current goals are to implement a dark theme for the homepage, finally get the homepage archive up, and continue expanding the minidex. thank you all for the love and support in 2025 ^_^

what's up party people!! i've done a few maintenance updates over the past couple days. let's see...
⤷ there's a couple new pages. a whole new site, actually. (whaaat??? i know!) i finally made a minidex! visit it here.. i think you may like what you see. anyways.
⤷ i've started putting up old homepages in an attempt to make an archive in the near future. it's been a small project that i've put on the backburner, but one i think is important nevertheless.
⤷ some pages have disappeared! the old video of the week archive is gone, and so are all of the collection pages. i have been wanting to rework the collections specifically, and having the old ones up were taking too much of my brainspace (and dashboard.)
⤷ sitemap has been updated (visually and functionally).
⤷ oh yeah! i redid the update log ^_^
i'm hoping that once i get around to it this update log will work in tandem with an RSS feed, but that's a winter break project i fear. i've gotten enough done over my two day fall break that i will keep up with the site for a little bit before going and living my life for another month. november / early december is going to be pretty hectic with finals and everything, but fear not. leith returns on a semi-monthly basis !!! hope you all have been doing well (*´_ゝ｀)

HI a lot has been going on, i just haven't been updating! in the past couple of months, there's been an influx of new pages -- namely the projects pages, a new shrine, and a whole template area added +1 template. today i went back through and updated my neoneighborhood found on the resources page. oh! and i completely overhauled the "about me" page. it's even MORE xbox360-like! i rebuilt the main section of the homepage in grid, and got rid of the "video of the week" section because i couldn't keep up with it. sitemap has been updated accordingly :]

little updates have been happening through the past couple months, but i just put up a new page --here-- and i'm slowly working on revamping a bunch of purgatory and "stuck in time" pages. wish me luck!!

overhauled the resources page and added all of my graphics links!

redid everything again lmao

i have done it. i have finally posted my blog in a layout that i like that is (hopefully) easy to update. HELL YEAH!!!

finally posted the CD/Vinyls collections page !

new about me and homepage (again). there have been small maintenance updates but nothing too noteworthy. hope you enjoy ^w^

so there's been a lot of little updates but nothing big enough to warrant an update post but i did add a little last.fm widget onto my site, courtesy of jonathan on a neocities discord. literally owe my life to you because i think i would've gone crazy without you

welcome the artbook page !! this is where i'm putting my art that i've done but it's not dated yet so its just a little place to dump all of that at.

i swear i've been updating just nothing big and exciting enough to be put in the log. until today! i'm almost done reformatting the WHOLE site into the new layout. sorry i am lazy lmao. also redid the directory!

heheeh i'm so excited to finally be able to post the new homepage !! i coded this ALL BY MYSELF with no help from templates or anything. i'm super proud and i'm excited to update the rest of the pages to fit the layout i have going on. also everything from the past layout is still on here!! just a little rearranged lmao.

posted the collections directory, i just wanted to put something out but the actual pages aren't linked into the directory yet.

what's up the cbox is BACK in business. also added new section to homepage entitled "webmaster's ramblings" and HELLO NEW FONT!!!!

goodbye ugly welcome screen !!

welcome to homepage 2.5! this update was all about organization and making the homepage feel less cluttered. this idea is still being played with but i really like it so far!

please welcome the beardo shrine! i love him so much, i hope you enjoy !

hey guys whoa. BIG blog update it has been totally renovated!! please check it out it took a lot of time ^w^

updated button gallery to it's official new aesthetic! i knew the animal crossing music was meant for it when i decided to go with the art gallery theme. totally redid the about me page & cleaned up the code nicely!

i think i've finally gotten to the point with my homepage where i am totally happy with it. now i'm still going to tweak it obviously but. guys LOOK at it it's fabulous. FINALLY i can start focusing on my atrocious "about me" page. one day at a time lmao. status.cafe is up on the page, so is the FC2 counter and i finally put a description in the header box so people know wtf is going on. thank you for looking at my precious little site :)

guys it's been soooo long since an update on the site. i am so sorry !! i love this site i swear it's not abandoned LMAO. i just did some aesthetic things to the front page and i guess i'm going to start working on fixing the welcome page (that piplup picture never stays and idk why :(( i will just have to redo it.) i am also planning on working on the blog? idk how well that's going to go. video of the week has also been updated!

i updated the directory so everything is easier to find, as well as revamped the resources page. new blog post is up!

the minecraft shrine is now live!! super excited to share one of my favorite games on the site!!

so. i added a shrines page BUT none of the shrines are there. please be patient i am working very hard!! it's uploaded to the site more for my peace of mind. sitemap updated to accomodate :)

had to make the unfornate decision of moving the webrings here. added a cute background though. now i have to figure out where to put my mutual sites and replace the webring box with on my about me page...

long time no see! very exciting things happening behind the scenes. new blog post and updated mutuals to the site over on the button wall.

audio player up and running! updated welcome page to remind visitors to turn on autoplay for best experience.

i made my own button! i made a space for it over underneath the directory, but i'm not confident enough to make a copy-paste box for the code :( also hello to the goals and to-dos box!

homepage officially updated and gone online! welcome to the index version 2 babey

blog page under construction, updated the directory so whatever page you're on you can't click in the directory. purely aesthetic but a better touch than it was before! i'm planning on working on the homepage more next.

updated about me to include a special spot for blinkies & stamps
