been having far too much fun with CSS. It also got me enthusiastic about working on more pages. New ones include palettes for keeping track of colours, breathe which is me experimenting with CSS animations, curtains to track how often my curtains fall down, ephemera, It's the stars, and The Old Web. I also finally made a sitemap
