Added archive.html, and now beginning the process of redesigning the older pages to align with everything I've learned so far.

Insanely impressive. How do you even go about designing these?

A lot of it is imitation and trial and error. Some I'm taking direct inspiration from. vinyl.html is me recreating this advert by the Designer's Republic, for instance: https://www.metanetsoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/colours-1.jpg I also used it as an opportunity to learn how to use javascript to change the content of a page dynamically.

Some, like the new index.html, comes from my current self-imposed rule of trying to keep everything constrained to a single screen (i.e. if there's a scrollbar, it's for a self-contained div) and a goal. With the index redesign, it was "Today I'm going to learn how to use the clip-path polygon property in CSS and use this new font I found" and sort of trying things out to see what worked and didn't.

All of the content was already there so it was a matter of figuring out the best way to rearrange things. The live preview function of the text editor I use (https://phcode.dev/) makes it easy to try stuff out in real time.

your site seems like a lot of work, but well worth it, cause i've never come across anything like it, and its awesome.
