Thank you! I use a super old method that most web developers and designers hate me for! I use old Dreamweaver and Photoshop to edit old Windows elements or other boxes from games for the other subsites. I can just kinda slap pictures all over the place, put it in a div layer or a table. Slap text over it and some more! All the art is either commissioned or gifted. I can barely hold a pencil myself!

I love the feel and look of your layout so far! Thank you for adding my button, too! The 404 page made me giggle a little. I'm not sure how to help making an IBM styled page though. My best guess is to just mess with the colours of the background & text and see what you can make it look like. Putting a base down with that, maybe some delightful ASCII art as a placeholder and an entry might already help shape ideas.

Another quick thought is to check the 'retro' tags when looking for sites and see if you can get inspiration or a small guide there. Maybe you can find some one who seems approachable and ask them how they did theirs.

Thanks, virtually-isolated for all of the feedback and info! Stay safe out there. :3

aaaaahhhh omg tyyy!!!

Hello! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! 🥰 I am absolutely thrilled that you enjoy the little things I create and find the picture-by-picture guides and videos helpful. It means the world to me that my passion for design and making happy DIY projects resonates with you! You can follow my latest creations and crafting tips on my IG/FB/YT channels (just search for HappyDIY4U!). Have a wonderful day,

Thanks! :3 Your sites (!!) are all incredibly pretty!

Thank you! I wanted something simple that would still show off a lot when you click on the page. I might make it a size smaller later on to really get it all on there and get some eyes on yours and all the other wonderful and cute art!
