that's the way! for what it's worth, I don't think your site looks half-baked at all. I was actually really impressed with your theme. it can be hard to make a layout with minimal graphical elements look unique, and it can be hard to balance aesthetics and functionality. but from what I can see, you've done a great job!
ALSO! this won't be a very long thing, but getting on and seeing 3 wks ago for my last update (in which i said i was done with the chicanery/perfectionism, and wanted to focus on expanding the actual content),,,, is making me a little mad at myself maybe. IDK
Still figuring out the command line. Ignore the little previews of my early-stage WIPs lol
