n6h6.net

My First Post


I've wanted to do this for a while. Make a blog, I mean. Roughly from scratch, or as close to scratch as I can get.

I'm not incredibly smart. Maybe better with computers than the average person, but by no means do I expect my name to be in textbooks next to Linus Torvalds or Brian Kernighan or Alan Turing or whatever.

My point is that even basic html and css can leave me frustrated and depressed. I did overcome my issue, but until I did, it hurt.

See, chances are you came from the index.html page, the "landing page", by clicking on a link to my First Post. Well, it took me about two hours to get that first page set up in a way I'm satisfied with. I had to figure out padding or margins and shit, which was made incredibly difficult by mobile Firefox, the browser I use (and test my website with) on my phone.

No matter what I did, there was a dumb black bar at the top of the screen where the background color wouldn't reach, above the "n6h6.net" header. It was ugly, and I didn't want it, and I spent most of the two hours fucking around with my css file changing padding around and everything, but nothing would work.

Then, I had an epiphany. Months ago, I had downloaded a shitty extension that was supposed to make websites dark mode but it didn't work. I forgot to remove it, then just forgot about it in general. Until today. I removed that extension and the problem went away.

I guess I need to make sure I turn off all extensions when testing my website.
