Nick R.J. Blog

Nov 7 2025 - Welcome

First post. Welcome to my corner of cyberspace.

This website is intended to be something between a Twitter feed and a long-form blog. Posts that deserve their own webpage are pinned at the top. Shorter posts go in this feed.

Inspired by Just Fucking Use HTML, I wanted to build the website entirely out of HTML, no CSS or Javascript. There's currently only one line of CSS: `max-width: 600px`.

Some things I've discovered:

- Wrapping <body> content in a <code> block forces the font to be some monospace default, which looks much better than Times New Roman.

- The <fieldset> tag creates a border around a group of elements, while the <legend> tag adds a title in the top left corner.

- The `<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">` property automatically creates dark mode.

I don't think websites can get much simpler than this.
