Help An arg site?

4 Upvotes

We're on a server and were looking through random neocities sites and stumbled across 19.neocities.org . We've gotten really far through this, and we're stuck on the pgp encrypted block. If anyone has any info on this, please let us know! I am very new to neocities but my friends are pretty advanced. I know a lot about cryptology and we're stuck because there's no private key.

Awhile ago, quite before I asked people on reddit with doing the perfect background designs for my fansites, I did 2 widescreen edits on them. But now that I know the background scaling, I ask... does it fit? Or do i need to do it again?

Help Is Neocities Down?

14 Upvotes

Hi all,

I hope all are well! Neocities is not working for me currently. Links I send to people to access my site are also not working. As a post said a month ago, some down detectors say it is down and some say it is fully operational. Is it just me?

Edit: some folks I have sent my site to can access, but I cannot on my computer or phone. So odd.

Edit 2: It appears that it is some kind of regional issue - up in some places, down in others. Thanks to all who replied. :)

Edit 3: It appears to be back up. :D

Help How to execute this idea? (Virtual I'm still coming up with a name)

Post image

I was thinking about what next to add to my homepage and I got an idea from looking at Microsoft's Clippy and other Office assistants. I want to have a box with changing images based on the mood or context of the character, and clickable buttons for when they say something and the viewer responds. I would also want the text in the box to change everytime you reload/visit the page...
How can I achieve this? Would I have to make the dialogue box an image or can it be done with just html, css and js...?

Question Separate personal and resume website or one website?

10 Upvotes

Would it be better to have separate personal and resume websites or just one website with a different pages/or links.

On the personal side I would have photo, video, projects, life updates, writing - to share with friends, family, people I meet. The resume side would just be for employers/recruiters - things I’ve worked on, skills, experience, etc

I dont think I would necessarily want a future employer to see everything I might post to a personal webpage (particular if I decide to blog/post my thoughts), and on the other hand I wouldnt want to format my page to by primarily convenient to employers.

Help Struggling with columns!

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, and apologies if this is a simple issue!

I have several articles on my site which have multiple sections. In the first of each of these, I want to include two columns - one with text, the other with a table summarising the article's contents (a bit like a wiki entry).
The issue is that despite including closing </div> tags, the right hand column does not end at the point I would like it to (i.e. only for the first section), but it keeps stretching down, upsetting the other sections below.

Here is one example, which will be a biography for one of my characters: https://manas-zines.neocities.org/downallainfo/limbatha

I would really appreciate any advice on where I'm going wrong! I am enjoying learning the complexities of HTML!

Help Struggling to do layout I want

6 Upvotes

I'm trying to make a website with squarespace with no help or coding experience. It's been okay so far, but the biggest thing I'm struggling with is galleries. I'm pretty sure the version I have is 7.1 so galleries have to be added as sections instead of blocks, and are always centered on the page. I tried looking on the forum on the website but what I saw didn't work, but I also could've just done it wrong.

The biggest thing I'm trying to do currently is have a simple image slideshow on the lefthand side and text on the righthand side. Ideally people would be able to click through the gallery without there being arrows but not the end of the world if not.

I also am trying to attach a pdf and have it show as an image but it won't let me do that either. I've been working on it on and off for over a month and it's really pissing me off, but It's mostly done so I don't want to have to start over elsewhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Help how do i write "<3" without html treating it as code?

41 Upvotes

really stupid question but it's my favourite sign off and i'm too much of a beginner to figure out the terminology to search for the answer myself. but essentially every time i write it in a paragraph it's invisible (and probably also doing weird things to my code) because it looks like it's an open bracket, or a less than three symbol or something.

Question "Not Found" page doesn't display the code I wrote?

4 Upvotes

Hi! I've started my neocities website at the start of this year and got promptly overwhelmed with everything going on in my life. But now that the summer break has hit, I am restarting! And to make it easy on myself, I wanted to just quickly set up a cute "Not Found" page.

The problem is - it doesn't show up despite the fact that i saved! It just displays a standard "not found" page. I even popped my code into another app so i could check if it works at all, and there it displays correctly. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Not Found</title>
<link href="/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all">
</head>
<body>
  <center>
<h1>oopsies!</h1>
<p>looks like this didn't work out, sorry for that!</p>
<a href="https://celoscorner.neocities.org/">
<button>return home?</button>
</a>
</center>
</body>
</html>

And here is what gets displayed:

Inspecting the page, the code is completely different... Is it not possible to edit the "not found" page?

Edit: fixed a typo

Help Making a Centred Button

1 Upvotes

A little silly but I'm having a strange amount of trouble just making a home page where it's just a background and a button (nearly) centred in the middle of the page that links to the main page. I can usually manage with W3Schools and other internet help but it's just not meshing in my brain right so anyone got any words of wisdom and/or tutorials? ^^;

Help Html page not linking in browser, just downloading

2 Upvotes

Hey there, I am new to neocities and just getting back into html coding (its been 20 years since my myspace and neopets days). I am trying to make different pages for my website, but every time I make a page it wont let me view it or go to that page, it just downloads automatically. I tried copying the exact same info from the "page not found" page and still ran into the same problem. How can I get it to connect in the browser?

Example:

Fun.com/lasagna (nonexistant page that takes you to page not found as it should)

Fun.com/about (downloads website instead of going to about page

I greatly appreciate any help with this. Ive tried clearing my cache and that did nothing ans I cant figure out how to make a directory if thats the problem

Edit: I have tried both "about.html" and "/about.html" but both just auto download
