fLaMEds Homepage

Your first stop off of the Information Super Highway!

Kia ora 👋, I'm fLaMEd 🔥 and this is my homepage, a collection of stuff that I like.

I have had a passion for making homepages for a long time. There's always been a time in my life where I have had a homepage in one form or another.

This homepage is being constructed in public, it is constantly under construction. I will often push changes to it to try things out. I spend too much time coding and configuring and need to focus on writing the never ending stream of ideas and concepts down.

Selected writing

• My Web Manifesto: I love the Internet, but not all things about the Internet. On this page I dive deep into the current state of the Internet and explore whether it is heading in an ideal direction.
• Early Web Memories: This page details my earliet memories of getting online and surfing the web, I remember all of the fun times, and the not so fun times.

Site updates

• 05 May, 2022: Hey, have updated the Vinyl Collection page to include details of my record collection. Album covers, varients, numbered limited editions and some thoughts on the release. Check it out.

• 21 Apr, 2022: Quick update that I have updated my subpage layout. The new layout removes the sidebar, including the menu and link buttons. I have included a breadcrumb navigation at the top of the page to let you know where you are within my homepage, with links back to the parent page(s).

  The other new feature is a fluid typescale for my heading elements. This allows the font-size to scale based on the window size. Should look good across desktop, tablet, mobile views.

  I'll start working on applying my new stylesheet to the index page, which will keep it's current layout, with some minor style tweaks.

  Let me know what you think.

• 16 Mar, 2022: Thanks to some wonderful feedback from a member of the Yesterweb community, I've made a number of fixes to the Creating A Static Site Using 11ty & Deploy to Neocities. If you have followed the guide previously and got stuck, try again and you should end up with what I intended now.

  Always happy to get feedback, just reach out to me.

  Will start working on part 2 soon.

• 13 Mar, 2022: Brief update to revive my Gameshelf page. Was thinking about this while raiding tonight and quickly got the page started.

• 22 Feb, 2022: Kia ora, been keeping myself busy IRL. Quick update tonight to my Recordshelf where I was incorrectly displaying my 3x3 album grid as a 3x2. This has been fixed. Looking forward to getting some work done on my guides page again soon.

• 07 Feb, 2022: Rather big update where I've created the first part of Creating A Static Site Using 11ty & Deploy to Neocities. This first part includes creating and styling a basic homepage wtih 11ty. Will start working on the next part for automating the build and deploy later.

• 02 Feb, 2022: Minor site updates today, have added a couple more buttons to the sidebar Fairytrash and Cabbage. Made some additions to my Web Manifesto along with a couple new links. I've also joined the Retronaut Webring.
