Updated the theme based on a retro yogurt pot I saw on instagram :) I think it's cuter now.

Ava's recent posts made me realise there was no rss feed link on my page (I thought this was automatic on bear!) and also introduced me to subscribe openly so I added a link to the main page (and I will also add to the footer at some point...)

Changed the font (kinda inspired by binomial) and added a new drawing of me to the homepage. It doesn't work so well on mobile at the moment.

Added the directory page (and a bunch of sub pages, take a look) and updated my home page a little.

Added my actual status café widget back to the home page and an avatar I made using the Stardew valley avatar creator by jazzybee.

Updated fonts - using Lexend for body text and Eczar for headers.

Switched to a default theme (Delightful) as I prefer the more minimal style at the moment. Added some custom css to centre images and make smaller.

Added now page.

Made some tweaks to the upvote button css:

/* Update button styling*/
button {
  font-family: var(--font-stack) !important;
  color: var(--color-dark) !important;
}

/* Toast button */
.upvote-button, .upvote-button.upvoted {
  align-items: center;
  display: grid !important;
  grid-template-areas:
        'emoji label'
        'count ...';
  flex-direction: column;
  gap: 0 4px;
}

.upvote-button svg {
  display: none;
}

.upvote-button::before {
  content: '🍏';
  display: block;
  font-size: 32px;
  cursor: pointer;
  grid-area: emoji;
  margin-left: 4px;
}

.upvote-button:hover::before {
  content: '🍏';
  cursor: pointer;
}

.upvote-button.upvoted:hover::before {
  content: '🍏';
  cursor: default;
}

.upvote-button.upvoted::after {
  content: 'Thank you!';
  display: block;
}

.upvote-button:hover::after {
  content: 'Like this post';
  display: block;
}

.upvote-button.upvoted:hover::after {
  content: 'Thank you!';
  cursor: default;
  display: block;
}

.upvote-count {
  font-size: unset;
  grid-area: count; 
  margin-top: 0 !important;
}
