📝 What I've learned about CSS color-scheme and friends. (https://weblog.anniegreens.lol/2024/04/what-ive-learned-about-css-color-scheme-and-system-color)

CSS color-scheme tells the browser what scheme a website supports, ensuring proper contrast with elements and controls between light and dark color schemes, and a whole lot more.

@sarajw I definitely want to play around with a strictly system colors theme and see how far I can take it and what I discover!

@sarajw @bw yeah, I am doing a little testing to see how it might work, and if I decide to go through with it

maybe I can come up with a better way to do it in future years!

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

@sarajw @bw well, I've done some preliminary testing and it may be more trouble than it is worth at this time; my SVG icons will need to be handled and I don't really want to spend the rest of today doing that

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

@bw I thought it was tomorrow? ie, I still need time to prepare 😆

also, did you disable JS or just CSS?

@bw "script" lol I'm all manual, baby!

If you've been involved with or organized a writing/blogging challenge, especially a month-long challenge, and one that is adhering to a topic, what advice do you have?

  • If you were part of the topic making decision, how did you choose the topic?
  • What type of topics have you found most successful and challenging at the same time?
  • Finally, have you found keeping the group small to help with the writing?

@kev I started my weblog in January of 2023 and made it to 81 posts last year. I think I could do this! I definitely want to make it on that Hall of Fame list 😜

Now I can go to bed happy in the knowledge that I did indeed learn HTML from Word back in 1998!

I appreciate this, but at the same time I recognize that personal sites can contain very personal information (in content) and with the way the landscape of public repos and AI is evolving, as well as general exploitation, I am still hesitant to make mine public.

I was just lamenting the public requirement the other day for automated Micro.blog backups, so this was top of mind when I saw this toot. If it was just code, I would be less hesitant, but it isn't.

Well shit, I probably shouldn’t have had setup a netlify build hook connected to incoming webmentions. I’ve got a bit of a bill coming in at the end of this month 😬

How do y’all handle this?

@elly oh no! I'm sorry we talked so much in your replies 😥

Considering a "back to top" on my weblog. Not a floating one though, I think just at the bottom of articles or listings.

@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

...or maybe just in the global footer.

There is not a better album to listen to at night than Automatic for the People by R.E.M. None.

What is everyone using for software mute on MacOS nowadays? Gosh I can't even recall what I used to use for work...Hush? or, no, it was something else, and it was on my work machine not on this one.

@kev I love your initials mark/logotype! Of course combining the K and Q but also, and I'm positive this was intentional, it evokes a watch face and you love watches! Good stuff, did you design it?

Ugh. Felt like an idiot earlier today when I stubbed my toe, hard, and now hours later feeling sorry for myself too as the pain is now worse and it's turning purple. Yay. Hope I can find an appointment to get it seen to sooner rather than later...

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

@sarajw definitely get it checked out, but agree that they might just advise keeping it elevated, iced, and stay off of it, which will probably annoy the heck out of you like the last time you had a foot/ankle injury (can't recall exactly what it was, but I remember you hated it!)

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

@sarajw I broke a large toe stubbing it when I was around 20 or so. It wasn't fun, hopefully you just sprained it or something 🤕

Do I want to try and install Word 97 just to prove to myself there really was an HTML editor built into it?

I swear that's how I learned HTML. I think for my personal history I need to know. And take some decent screenshots...

@sarajw I question how you choose to spend your Friday nights, Sara 😆 though it is entertaining.
