x what is this site?

this is my portfolio/personal corner of the internet!

consider the site itself a part of the portfolio;
    neocities is the canvas
    html/css are like the paints (and my keyboard and laptop are like...the paintbrushes and palettes?)
you can browse the rest of my work in the gallery

follow me on neocities: /jadetheshade

and leave a message on my guestbook if you'd like!

x love from,
your friendly neighbourhood webmaster webslinger

you know,
i'm something of a webslinger myself.

my hidden passion for web design and html/css coding really stemmed from my days on tumblr from around 2014-2017 - circa my middle school years (actually, no middle schooler should have been on tumblr...)

all my after-school hours spent scrolling through tumblr inspired me to put together my own personalized blog theme. i'm currently in this love-hate relationship with social media, so discovering neocities almost felt like discovering the door to Narnia in my own wardrobe; an escape from the weird gen-AI/social media hell we're in right now.

the best part of coming back to site customization in my 20s is that i get to join in on the fun that everyone had in the early 2000s with their custom myspace profiles and geocities blogs (or even reminisce my 2010s tumblr days)

x please note:

★ i am a self-taught webmaster and i am still new to web design and coding so the site might be a little rough around the edges...

★ the site was made via desktop (windows pc; google chrome), so desktop users will get the full experience (e.g. interactivity, pop-ups, hover effects, etc.)

★ this site is not properly optimized for mobile. mobile users might miss out on some of these cool site features, unfortunately.
