LET'S ALL LOVE LAIN!

Hail And Well Met, My Dudes

Hello Hello!

My name is Barry AKA Dr. Worm, and I welcome you to my humble website! I've tried to learn coding, specifically HTML and CSS, many times in my life, but have never tried to fully apply it to my own website. But then in 2020 while bored and anxious during quarantine, I learned about neocities from a friend. This was exactly what I needed, frustrated with modern social media and exhausted by the pandemic, something both apart of a community yet not drowning in the ultramonetized world of modern social media. So I set up an account, got a layout down, and started planning my website.

and then I got frustrated and abandoned neocities for several months.

This happens often, as I deal with ADHD I often pick up and drop hobbies after hitting minor roadblocks, eager to move onto the next project. However, I never fully let go of my desire to build my own little corner of the internet, and recently something made me wish to return and give this whole website thing another shot. So here we are! I hope you enjoy everything my humble site has to offer, and maybe you'll consider setting up a site of your own!

oh my god. It's done.

this update I'm writing rn is the last thing I have to do before updating my sites main page. I've been having so much fun playing around and figuring out how I really want my site to look, and I feel super happy with how it turned out!! This project has really revived my love for working on this little site, and has me re-energized to work on other little projects that i've either abandoned or just haven't had the time to polish up. I'm also moving my update log to a seperate page instead of keeping them all trapped in a little box. Everytime I update here, I'll wipe this clean instead of having an overwhelming clog of backlogs. I am, however, a digital hoarder, and I moved all of my backlogs over to the new journal page that I just made. It'll also be a full text page and likely a bit more readable than the miniblog. I'm still playing with the new setup, so we'll see how it goes.

you'll notice there's about 1000 other changes I've made to the site.

beautiful new setup, template courtesy of ahwe. They made a wonderful template, simple enough to stil be customizable if you barely understand HTML (like me). I just feel like i have more SPACE now, I can stretch out and throw all my shit everywhere. I can even add a header pic of my favorite anime girls at the top, a function every website should have.

I have a music player!!!!!!! It's a classic scm player and it mostly has midi, 8 bit, and miu covers of songs I like.

I figured out how cbox worked, and now have a little chat on the main page! I'm still keeping the guestbook around, cause I think theyre both fun and have a different vibe, so check out either/both if you wanna say hi

I'm not totally sure what cliques are but I'm in one! and I made a little section for my mutuals (currently just the ones w buttons as I'm trying to figure out how to make the links look cute)

kool korner is currently where I keep my lovely button collection and any fun odds and ends I want over there. My gifypet is too big for it, so I'll need to find her a spot somewhere else

As mentioned above, I'm tinkering with my updates setup. The tome I'm writing probably isn't much fun to red in the miniblog (and future updates will be shorter) but I also have a (currently very ugly) dedicated page to my updates now! No more squinting at the corner of the screen!

I'm putting gifs fucking everywhere, i have a whole exra section where I can make little gif dioramas now. I have about a million of thoseweird ass garden fairie gifs and once i learn what "float" means, its over for you bitches.

Still in progress is an archives page. all my past site setups are archived at my Internet Archives account, bit I wanna make a lil archive page where you can click thru and experience the old sites straght from the new one. Also working on a page to show off my projects, many of which currently scattered across the internet from tumbkr to itch.io. I also have the shrines as fun long-term projects. now im thinking of giving them all different site templates instead of making them all spinoff versions of the home template. At the very least, the MCR shrine is gonna go full myspace. Ok, its almost 6 AM and im all wired up on coding now but ill see if I can sleep. Hope oy guys like the new site :) goodnight
