Update Log

Now that I have new styles for the writing page, I wanted to add a bit more writing to it! So on Saturday, I added "The Bookshelf", "Clear Skin for an Unclear World", and "Going to the Media Party...". Check them all out on the Writing page!
This is a bit harder to see, but I started DRASTICALLY updating my CSS. I want it all to be cleaner and more understandable in the organization. My hope is to completetly remove the old stylesheet, and have a new stylesheet that is hundreds of lines of less code. Let's see how it goes!!!
On Saturday, I completely overhauled the writing page so that it looks nice with the BIG fonts (i'm super into big fonts now.) It also has a slightly softer background-color (I need to figure out how to make my site not hurt my eyes.)
Also on Wednesday, I added Productivity Tips from Plant Life to the Rituals page. It's a method I'm exploring to help with my own personal work and intentions. Take from it what you'd like as you'd like!
On Wednesday I put up The Future Will be Technical, a longer essay on the writing page. It's kind of a manifesto? Feel like I keep writing manifestos
Late Saturday night, I also wrote a new diary entry about magic Novembers. It's got a bunch of mixed metaphors. Or rather, it's like a mixtape of metaphors.
I finished a book and added it to my bookshelf, then added short notes for some of the books on the shelf. This would have been on Saturday night.
On Monday night I added a links page and some more friends!
In the end of September I added a rituals section, including a ritual I did for enchanting yourself and yr computer.
I removed my dependence on fontlibrary.org. I depend on no other website now! I also cleaned up a bunch of CSS. You can tell both because everything runs much faster now
On Wednesday I created this log!
I wrote a new blog post on Tuesday night. read it here
I created the Library on Monday
