This site should really be viewed on a desktop - sorry mobile users!

This is still a work in progress!

Welcome

Hi, I'm Motte. That's not my actual name but that's what I guess I'm going by online now. It means moth in German.

I've been in no way interested in the internet since... well basically since web2, I guess. or, since I grew up, and online worlds all collectively decided to commit mass suicide, for some reason. I've pretty much always been a history nerd though, (except for a brief stint in 4th grade) and now the web is old enough to be cool, so here I am, trying to figure out how things work.

Also, fair warning, I tried to make this site look somewhat reminiscent of books from the 1800s and before, so if you see a page and think "oh my god this is entirely too much text" that's the goal!!

To the left there should be a navigation bar to let you wander through pages of my interests - and you'll probably quickly find out how intertwined they all are. I like sewing, but only historical sewing, and I like horse riding, but only the traditions really, and I like history, but mostly only about women or horses or sewing. So.... I like to branch out, in case you couldn't tell. Hopefully this page won't be too empty for too long, I'm sure I'll eventually find enough pointless bullshit to stuff here like I did with my spacehey. Oh hey speaking of which

I made a button! :)

Where did Motte go?

Hey guys look I put a reference to an inside joke that only I and two german shepherds will understand on here, how cool am I!!!!!

  1. Dreamwidth
  2. Spacehey
  3. Tumblr
  4. This is also my tumblr, but my history side blog.

My second tumblr is kind of like my digital binder of old stuff I find... I use it mostly just to keep track of my own projects. I have a post there saying I get freaked out when other people interact with it because I do lol but if you wanna peep a lotta pictures, check it out!!

Some Forums

I really like forums, and I really miss forums. I have a hard time finding ones that are (somewhat) active, and aren't trying too hard to look like some new app, so the few I know about go here. If you know of any, please share!! :)

What am I up to?

I'm going to try now working on my site exclusively on neocities, so this list is kinda obsolete, but why not keep it anyways

So here is what I just did:

  1. Fixed some of the CSS so text is hopefully easier to read...
  2. Got rid of some typos and other errors in the library
  3. started working on a new page to dump all my sidesaddle junk into eventually

Here's what I want to do yet:

  1. Add "Opening Images" to each page :D
  2. Fix the text alignment.... idk how i fucked it up so badly
  3. Finish sidesaddle playlist in the stables
  4. Make the borders look cooler??
  5. Indicate languages of certain sites?
  6. Make a separate list for free patterns vs. patterns for purchase
  7. Organize books in the Library by publishing date - will probably just switch to a spreadsheet? maybe?
  8. Add a new linguistics page
