Kissing the Pink

Site updates

Aug 3rd 2025: Ok so I didn't get the lyrics page open on the day I wanted to. But instead I've decided to re-up everything! Doing little style and alignment fixes globally so I can also work on other pages quicker as well. It'll be worth it! 22 songs with their lyrics finished already will be available for you to read soon! Definitely before the end of the month but it shouldn't take that long. Also, tomorrow is Jon Hall's 66th birthday.
Jul 29th 2025: BIG UPDATE! All the members pages are live now! They are not really finished but they are published and they look nice and you can click on them on the neocities feed or by typing the url in. Shouldn’t be that hard for you to figure out. The main thing here is that now I can probably open up the lyrics part of the website soon! I’ll shoot for August 1st as the date that happens. Then after that I’ll start work on the videos and press sections…
Jul 25th 2025: I've moved my editing locally from Neocities to VSCode so I can look at things and test them without cluttering my Neocities queue with all the constant updates! Got some more lyrics done. Revamped my in-house To-Do list it's not formatted correctly yet but it will be eventually. All the actual items are there though. I will have Jon's member page done first.
Jul 23th 2025: Holy shit, I thought imagemaps were the only way of linking images!!! But it's not true!! Huzzah! I've made really good progress on the members pages, they should be done before the end of the month, but the graphics won't be complete necessarily. I also took out two of the ideas for pages, so instead of 8 divs there's only 6. I might change it back to 8 eventually but 6 is a lot more manageable, just in my mind. I am having a lot of fun writing the code to this website.
Jul 22th 2025: Jesus christ! That looks awful! I'll try to keep an open mind, heh. I've made a lot of progress on the lyrics section and some good frameworks for other webpages too. Once I get a good skeleton for the members' pages then I'll open up the lyrics part of the site, as lyric pages all link to their singer's pages. I had an idea for member webpages where they would all do a little motion when you hovered over them but that might require javascript and I do not want to learn a third language when I'm on my second week of web design. They will just be normal imagemaps.
Jul 18th 2025: Got the divs to display correctly on mobile, and I reformatted them for ease of display on desktop too. For the past four days I’ve been working mostly on the lyrics part of the website, alongside continuing to burrow down the rabbit hole, which I may make a blog post in the soon-to-come “words from the webmaster” section. (though that’s a low priority) Making good progress, the lyrics part was the main thing I wanted out of this site. Not finished enough to link to it yet but hopefully very very soon. I’ll change the url once I have done the skeletons for: lyrics (mostly done), members (gotta learn imagemaps), band story (easy!) and press (gotta figure out how I want to format it) Also changed the background color on this page to something less bright (thank you Edmund).
July 14th 2025: Labeled divs properly. But maybe things will be switched around in the future.
July 13th 2025: Figured out how to do divs the way I want them! Doesn't look 100% perfect on mobile but it works. Hope to figure out pagedolls soon. Spent a lot of the day rabbit holing re:one of the members. Still much to do in terms of not only website content but also learning about the band.
July 12th 2025: I don't have a Facebook but I decided to haphazardly check the KTP one since I know they're gonna release something soon and look at that... sucks it uses an AI filter but I know the artwork won't use AI so that makes it easier to swallow. Regardless, new KTP material is fun. Techno Feudalism...? Hope that's just the single's name, heheh.
July 11th 2025: Relearned a lot of bits and bobs of HTML. Hoping to get something better by next week.
