I'm still working on the next Heoist document as its preamble has unintentionally become much longer than intended; something about expressing my voice in writing makes it far more eloquent and verbose than my succinct descriptions in person. I also have some concerns about another accessibility: I want to have audio recordings of my political philosophy, however, I'm unsure how I would go about doing so.

I've added a rudimentary link hotbar so that you can get to any page from anywhere on the site. As you can probably tell I have a few other site subsections I'd like to build, particularly partioning documents between Key and Other and introducing a Glossary as I tend to use uncommon or wholly unique words. I'm currently in the process of writing a new document, which I believe may classify as a Key Document.

IRL developments are unfortunately slow, though I won't elaborate. As for the Neocities website, I'll likely be making a site hotbar soon; please be aware that I work a full-time unionized job and would additionally like to use my own assets without wholly mimicking the page style of lupinus or mental-labour, despite the inspiration. I may additionally look into light/dark toggles for accessibility.

That's the exact concern I've been having - a lack of accessibility. I'm considering mimicking the colour schemes you can find in the programming menu on-site for some more variety than just light/dark if possible, I'm just actively learning programming literally as I upgrade the site and haven't reached that point.
I need to make some quality-of-life changes to the Heoist philosophy site (notably, a site navigation hotbar), but will likely be taking a break for some real-life praxis. The fascist regime is about to cross what I established as The Rubicon.

It took two hours for me to figure out how to make a site button. The .gif is rudimentary but will work for now until I can create something better.

Yes I'm aware of the low visibility at the moment. This current spaghetti code is in lieu of background art and improved banners; the background is currently off-black and tinted red to create contrast between the pure black of the Heoist symbol. Credit to mental-labour and lupinus for style ideas.
To elaborate: were I to use my voice training, it would be immediately recognized and create an undeniable tie between Heoism and my internet pseudonym, and I'm wary of the effect this could have. On the other hand, using my necrovoice could be offputting for both myself and others. There's also an issue that I'm not exactly lubricated of capital, especially monetary capital and social capital.
Consequently, I've not really a way to hire a voice actor. While I have yet to write a hypothetical Heoist Manifesto, I will say that The Red Star of Heoism and this new document are both very lengthy and I've received criticism from readers that its length makes it difficult to focus. I feel that being able to listen may remedy this. This additionally ties into another concern regarding translations.
Update: I've finally transferred the preamble to a proper document and it's 2,013 words long. The test voice recording is 12 minutes long. I may HAVE to create recordings.
