Personal Blog, Version Two

Lately, I have been thinking quite a lot about altering the interface and colors on my blog. As this was the very first time in my life that I was doing something like this, and I have zero knowledge in coding, I used DeepSeek to assist me in this matter, and this is the result. While using DeepSeek for me is still embarrassing (less than Claude, who was helping bomb my country a couple of weeks ago tho. I seriously cancel anyone who uses that), I can't deny the fact that it made me more curious about truly learning how to code and do stuff like this on my own. Presumably, in July, when I'm hopefully done with my research, I'll have more time to lock in and work on my coding skills and Chinese, two important specialties that I've been postponing for a long time.

Apart from the color and font, I also managed to add a page for topics that includes tags, so next time someone judges me for not talking about Iran on my Instagram (which is a big lie, and I had an argument with someone who told me this today), I can just easily share the link to everything I wrote about Iran. I also added my email and Letterboxd in the home page, so in case any of you fellow readers want to write to me, feel free to use the links.

It's been more than a year since I started this blog, and it's really nice to put more effort here to write about things I care about rather than other "text-oriented" platforms such as Nazi.com (X.com) or Fascistack (Substack).

Noa also recently wrote a post about the whole modifying the website process, and yeah, his website looks much cooler and interesting, after all, he's the one who knows more about coding and introduced me to it.
