Updates

some new L'Arc lyrics (夏の憂鬱) before summer ends - same song, two versions with slightly different lyrics. (I prefer the single version for the ~*drama*~, although I love the heavenly album)

I had to update my 11ty templates as well because this is the first time I've translated a song where a) both English and Japanese are in the title b) the single/album title is in Japanese. Kind of surprising it took like 30 songs for either of those things to happen? Anyway gotta apply those lang attributes correctly ☆

Also, not sure what was going on with the Neocities servers yesterday, but it seems to be fixed now!

Rebuilt the site using 11ty/eleventy! I wanted to learn to use a static site generator, so this site became the guinea pig - but it turns out having templating functionality will make it much easier to update this site in future! I particularly like that I can just pop lyrics in a Markdown file, and my custom filter will mark up the stanzas correctly before it renders in the lyric layout.

Even though I just updated every page on the site it doesn't actually look like anything's changed (I kept the resulting HTML the same). It's better for me though! I had to manually move these updates to the archive page before, and now it does it ☆automatically☆ 😎
