It's a bit lengthy in the beginning but making some great points.
It's about (mostly) teenage and young adult women basically teaching themselves tech skills (programming, video and image editing etc.) and other relevant skills (organization, writing, etc.) to create fan content (here: One Direction) without ever having those skills recognized.
I've been sitting on this "design refresh" for 6 months now and I decided to make it live tonight. It's a work in progress but if not now, when? https://ohhelloana.blog/

#a11y question: I'm trying to find a way to bypass blocks that may appear in the middle of an article. I drafted something in a codepen (https://codepen.io/ohhelloana/pen/QWpaJmV) and it seems to work, but are there any implications that I am missing? Thanks!

Today I wrote about my most embarrassing job interview all because I started to watch Ted Lasso and it is set in Richmond 😂🙃
Today I found this one on my drafts. It had been there for a year. It's lighthearted and I decided to publish it. It was now or never I guess!
Join us tomorrow from 7pm for another Homebrew Website Club Europe/London. 😊
We'll be on zoom chatting about the web and sharing demos of personal websites, blogs and projects.

"The magic of fractal snowflakes" https://jlelse.blog/links/2021/02/fractal-snowflakes
I updated this blog post yesterday. I added some clarification to the intro and tried to better connect the different events based on some feedback I received.
Heh, I knew about “Power Mode” extensions before. Used Atom back then but they are basically available for most code editors by now.
What I didn’t know is that they can load basically any sprite. Learn here how to make #vscode sparkle: https://www.aboutmonica.com/blog/how-to-make-your-vs-code-sparkle
