Welcome
Hi, I'm Grubdog (or just Grub if you'd prefer). This is just my personal website to have my own little space on the internet. You'll find many things here, such as my blog and a collection of cool sites I've found. I hope you enjoy your stay here! :D
Oh, some important notes! Firstly, this site has seperate dark/light modes! It'll automatically switch based on the prefrence you set for your device.
Secondly, some pages on this site do have flashing GIFs. They have been set to be paused, and you can view their animations by toggoling a switch. Note that this is not a global switch, and so you'll have to turn on animations for every page seperately.
Lastly, all links that take you off-site will open in a new tab. Links that take you to other pages/sections of my site do NOT do this.

Here's my little button to link back to this site :3 if you add me, please feel free to let me know!

Guides
Where I learend HTML and CSS
- Interneting is Hard - The best way to learn HTLM/CSS in my opinion, it is thorough while staying simple and easy to understand.
- Sadness's Webmaster Guides - no longer mintained, but still has a lot of useful information.
- W3 schools' "How to" series - source for figuring out how to pull off certain things on site.
- Khan Academy's HTML/CSS Unit - much slower than the other options and I find it to be the worst option presented here, but that doesn't make it a bad one by any means! Good if you need video tutorials.
Code
Some snippits of code are not mine. Here's what they are, where they are on the site, and where I got them!
- Code that lets you use tab to skip to main content is made by Kalechips
- Javascript-free tab code is also made by Kalechips
Fonts
Fonts used on this site.
- Level 1 and 2 headings: IndieFlower (Alternitevly, here's a non-Google link.)
- Everything else: Atkinson Hyperlegible.
- This site defaults to Arial and then sans-serif if either font doesn't work!
Inspiration
Sites I got inspirations from :3
- mei.nekoweb.org - a very cute site where I got a few ideas from! Her personal-web pet peeves blog post made me realize I could + should fix up my site button.
- kalechips.net - inspired me to overhaul my website with some more original code. Also inspired the toybox and licence sections of the site, plus a few accessability features I didn't know were possible.
- shishka.neocities.org - a very pretty website, this one introduced me to most accessability features I didn't know about that are now on the site, such as pausing GIFs and the Hyperlegible font.
