hi, I was wondering how to replace the background in the layout editor's output with different code? I wanted to use a starry background I found that reacts to your cursor (here https://www.cssscript.com/starry-sky-background-effect/) but I don't really understand much about how CSS works

Just wanted to say the new layout for your site looks awesome, I love the way the side boxes shake when you scroll over them

Hey! I love your site so so much, it's so cool! Your guestbook is really neat and I've been trying to make my own but it hasn't been working. If it's not too much trouble, do you think you could give me a couple pointers? Have a great day!

You're going to have to use a third party service like smartgb.com for your guestbook, I'm afraid. Neocities doesn't support server-side scripting like PHP.

afaik, sadgrl is able to have a php guestbook because she uses leprd.space. Here's her tutorial on setting up your own guestbook this way: https://learn.sadgrl.online/php-project-building-a-guestbook/ . Bear in mind, I've tried this method myself and was never able to get it off the ground (I don't think leprd.space is accepting new users at this time.)

Hey there! At the risk of a super long comment that definitely won't fit on here, this method of adding a background is very complex and cannot be easily used with my layout maker. My layout maker accepts images as backgrounds. I tried copying the code from the starry sky tutorial directly to a CodePen and it didn't work because the CSS references two images, which are included if you click on "Download" at the top.
CSS references 4 images* topleft, topright, bottomleft, bottomright.
dang, was hoping it would be easy. thanks for giving it a try, though!
