TLDR; this site now has a gallery! Visit it here.
Consider this the grand opening of this site's gallery! ignore the fact that I posted this yesterday
I mainly wanted this site to post art on-- something besides social media, or image boards like Fur Affinity, or god forbid DeviantArt. But I've only had the blog to post on. And the blog is a bad place to post art! It's a good blog-- Zonelets and HTML have both been incredibly helpful. But it's clearly not optimized for art. No tags to speak of, no gallery to lay out all my art. The images are sqeezed into a single half of the screen-- great for text, not so great for art! And so then you're forced to open my art in another tab.
Most importantly, people who are just interested in my art are going to have to fish around my blog. And people who are interested in blog stuff are going to be surprised to see that almost all of it is art instead of actual articles (because honestly I'm more interested in the former)! This applies to both the website itself and the RSS feed for it.
For that reason I've been wanting to add a gallery to my site. Mostly in the vein of other personal websites-- I've been looking at how other people implement their own galleries.
Cue me picking back up my web developer skills, and now this site has a gallery!
I think this is the first part of the website actually developed entirely by me. The rest of the site is built on Zonelets (and so huge credits go to them), but I haven't actually made my own part of the website. The last time I made a webpage from scratch was when I was in coding school during about 2019-2020.
Now that the gallery is out of the way, the next moves are to make a homepage for the website and section off the blog as one part of the website.
Also happy pride month! I have ideas for art, I've been meaning to make something with one of my sonas. On that note, I just posted art of one of them to commemorate the gallery going into production... And I don't know how to link to it. It's "Minix"-- they're the first picture in the gallery:
