omg thank you for putting my button on your site!! i hope you post some stories and music reviews to your site soon!! i am also a fellow ocean lover btw! 
(side note if anyone is wondering why i did away with smileys on here it's because it was pissing me off that kept converting to the smiley with teeth. is a different vibe)
one thing that I do not like about my website (as of today) is that it feels too structured and the homepage on yours is inspiring me a lot to change that.
thank you so much for visiting my site and watching my video my entire website started with my vision for my homepage so it makes me happy to see it being appreciated!! i'm very passionate about links and internet exploration, which is why i decided to format my site the way that i did. i really enjoyed the way your site is formatted as well! i especially liked your posts page - it was fun to click around on the links you shared. i'll be revisiting your site again in the future, but please update me if you ever do make any changes to your homepage! i'd love to see what your idea of a less-structured homepage would look like!!
hello everyone 
hope you're having a wonderful morning/afternoon/night. (this website is so adorable, i love it)
I LOVE your website, it is so cute XD and this is also one of my favorites now, I hope your doing well also. and i actually do want to make a website on my own and idk how to do it so can you tell me how you made your own website? 
that's soo cool that you could just be browsing the web and come across my site!! i'm happy that it's one of your faves (and i'm doing well - hope you are too ^-^). in terms of how to make a website: my best friend and i have a series on my yt channel: https://youtu.be/OXdZBzvuox4?si=7IM-7j1qgp7J3xTj
that's the second part in the series- in the first part it's more about how to get started with thinking about the site & first steps in designing. the first thing you need to do is find a place to host. i think neocities is fun (it's where i host mine), but the great thing about websites is once it's made, you can move it anytime!! then you need a code editor. Brackets and Visual Studio Code are common options. my video goes into more of what you do when you actually open the code editor!!
i recommend just making an account and editing the code they start you off with - maybe just add some text and see how that feels. then you can delve into changing design elements. my biggest advice is to take it easy and have fun with it. it might be frustrating at times, but it always feels worth it in the end!!
very cute, I'm inspired and will make my own website now (lil corner of the internet for all my fav stuff)
thank you!!! that's amazing, i hope you have fun making it ^-^ plz share once you do, it's so fun seeing what people create & choose to highlight
