Hugo is not great at this, as I wanted on on my 404 page; I found a template I liked, which had a serach box embedded. I use this page to build one. It works quite nicely but there is a smallbug, and the site https://dfl.ddns.net doesn;t seem to have any entries in the google…

Read moreUsing modals on this site.
I found the modals a fab way of keeping pages tidy and when writing about DnD games they allow me to hide the hints. i found some examples, and created a page with three modals, which now seem to only display the 3rd. I would like to fix that as I think I will/might use…
Read moreDynamic Styles in HTML
I was working with Stylish and came across and article that <DIV> tags should be avoided. Stylish uses IDs and CLASSes to change the look & feel Why avoid these elements? A second thought is how can one use buttons to change the look and feel of a page by applying different styles? Do you…

Read moreResponsive web sites using CSS
I decided to simplify my site at davelevy.cc and make it look like a linktr.ee page. This is best done using CSS and so I used some very simple HTML, and a bit more complicated CSS. I used the viewport declarations and @media queries. (It’s not perfect yet and needs some more work). Here are…

Read moreStatic page web sites

It’s a very long time since I have had to deal with binary code translations, but when dealing with HTML and JSON with Python, I need to get to grips with it. The € symbol for instance requires the extended character set support and rss should be written in utf-8. This page collects the notes…
Read moreRendering New Age Video
While winding myself up to play NWN2, I started experimenting with image morphing software, to see if I could make a video of a Druid Shifter polymorphing into their werebear shape. Sadly I think I lost the pictures from the 1st attempt and so as I started the game I had another go. Anyway once…
