Woo, talk about doomsday preparation.
I haven't done much other than polish its rough edges and make sure all of the blog posts are accurate (some may not be because I tried to cut off hotlinks or compress unnecessarily-large images to save bandwidth).
All webpages are Markdown files converted to HTML thanks to Pandoc and use some basic CSS (heh)
All pages were put together manually (making sure they all use the .css theme, have the navigation tab, and link to the original Cohost article via Wayback Machine). In the process, I ended up fixing many dead links and pointing them to an image hosted on Neocities itself. I'll consider making a build script for this like what a friend has for their blog so if I make a change to the website's navigation tab or use a different css I won't have to redo it for every post. Here be dragons!
I'm still trying to see how I can improve it on the accessibility front. I haven't yet figured out how to make it switch between light and dark depending on the browser's theme, so I settled for dark by default with an orange, Halloween-y theme (the background is an inverted Willow from the Cotton 2 Tenkomori disc). I don't even know how to use RSS yet in case someone wants an update, and the tables look funny
Works very well on text-only web browsers, incl. my megapost. A friend commented that it works even on their 13-year-old phone. I considered using AVIF for images but I wanted backwards-compatibility, and the AV1 codec is demanding for older hardware (at least for video)
All in all, this has been really fun, if not tedious. I'll hopefully do the same for my Dreamwidth posts. I can't promise I'll make new blog posts on Neocities, but I hope to
