Site updates for hellomei.dev. 2026-03-08T00:00:00Z https://hellomei.dev/ Mei 2026-03-08T00:00:00Z https://hellomei.dev/changelog/260308/ <p>WHAT'S UP!!! a weekend or so ago, i got bitten by the webdev bug again... a spider if you will. if you come visit my website, <strong>you will notice it looks quite a bit different!</strong> i updated it to suit my current aesthetic sensibilities + be less painful to look at for Me Specifically. while i liked the concept of the customizable header, it was very easy for me to grow used to it then get sick of it then want to turn it into something new and equally exciting, which always required a ton of work and thinking (this is why i only updated it twice), and it was a whole ordeal.</p> <aside>(but if you still want to look at the old things, they're archived <a href="https://hellomei.dev/archived/layouts">here</a>.)</aside> <p><em>(i was also tired of seeing... myself LOL... like we get it mei. you're a human person who exists.)</em></p> <p>so anyway. the meat of this update is really the redesign, which i'm quite happy with. but if you want the nitty-gritty:</p> <ul> <li>i consolidated my &quot;about the site&quot; and &quot;about me&quot; into one page: <a href="https://hellomei.dev/about">Just About</a>!!!!! deleted some outdated information, and just kept the stuff i wanted to keep.</li> <li>reorganized the entire thing based on my site's new fan-first purpose (vs. just being a general personal site) <em>(personal sites are cool! i just don't want to do that anymore!)</em> and cleaned up my <a href="https://hellomei.dev/map">sitemap</a>.</li> <li>i really like the little mailbox i made to put in the corner. i hate making graphics but that one was fun.</li> <li>not important to anyone but me but i made things so much easier for myself on the backend... yay... &lt;3</li> </ul> <p>i will slowly (SLOWLY!!!!!) be <strong>revamping some of the other pages</strong> and plugging them into this new site design template... i hope that doesn't sap out the soul of my site in the eyes of anyone visiting. or me. i'll play it by ear. and i'll also be <strong>making some new pages</strong> i'm excited about...!</p> <p>ideally i can find a good balance between these two activities but knowing me, i might want to do all the revamping first just to get it out of the way. i'll spare you the updates if they're boring and just let you know if something important (?) happens.</p> <p>thanks for sticking with me!!</p> 2025-10-09T00:00:00Z https://hellomei.dev/changelog/251009/ <ul> <li>new member of the <a href="https://hellomei.dev/maisonette">maisonette</a> – welcome dryhands!!</li> <li>added stuff to the <a href="https://hellomei.dev/gpoy">gpoy</a> page.</li> <li>added <a href="https://hellomei.dev/toys">toys</a>.</li> </ul> <p>i've been rethinking what i want to do with this site and i want to make it more fannish in nature, so some personal pages have been hidden! i've also been a little socialed out on the personal web, so i've taken down my contact and guestbook pages for the time being. you can still email me, but please know it takes me quite a bit of time to get back to... sorry...</p> <p>it's been quiet around here, hasn't it?? a lot of my hobbies are at the whims of my energy and the thing's vibes, so i'm hoping these changes to my site make the vibes a little better For Me Specifically and thus bring me a bit more energy. yippee!</p> 2025-09-02T00:00:00Z https://hellomei.dev/changelog/250902/ <ul> <li>answered some <a href="https://hellomei.dev/contact">asks</a>.</li> <li>added a new <a href="https://hellomei.dev/maisonette">maisonette</a> member – welcome choco!</li> <li>added some <a href="https://hellomei.dev/blorbos">blorbos</a>.</li> <li>updated the <a href="https://hellomei.dev/media">media log</a>.</li> <li>added a new watched play to my <a href="https://hellomei.dev/theatre">theatre</a> page! beetlejuice was so fun.</li> <li>freakzone updated.</li> </ul> 2025-08-10T00:00:00Z https://hellomei.dev/changelog/250810/ <ul> <li>answered three <a href="https://hellomei.dev/contact">asks</a>.</li> <li>updated the <a href="https://hellomei.dev/media">media log</a>... i gotta be better at doing this in real time LOL. i always end up forgetting what i've been watching/reading/etc.</li> <li>added baby saja to my <a href="https://hellomei.dev/blorbos">blorbos</a>.</li> </ul> 2025-07-24T00:00:00Z https://hellomei.dev/changelog/250724/ <p><strong>freak updates:</strong></p> <ul> <li>new freak page in the freakzone.</li> <li>lous and rubies.</li> </ul> <p><strong>minor updates:</strong></p> <ul> <li>fixed some links on the <a href="https://hellomei.dev/links">links</a> page.</li> </ul> 2025-07-15T00:00:00Z https://hellomei.dev/changelog/250715/ <ul> <li>new <a href="https://hellomei.dev/diary/250715">diary entry</a>. this is really the one update.</li> <li>added a <a href="https://hellomei.dev/treasures">treasure</a>.</li> <li>added some new <a href="https://hellomei.dev/links">links</a>! thank you to harper for the recommendation :D</li> <li>made some edits to the <a href="https://hellomei.dev/housekeeping">housekeeping</a> page, specifically wrt the sketchbook.</li> </ul> 2025-06-23T00:00:00Z https://hellomei.dev/changelog/250623/ <p>as expected, i did none of the things i said i'd do the previous entry! but i got some other things done.</p> <ul> <li>finally finished the <a href="https://hellomei.dev/acnh/residents">residents page</a> for my everbloom shrine. it is TEXT HEAVY!!! please enjoy my residents' lore.</li> <li>added stuff to the <a href="https://hellomei.dev/freakzone">louie/ruby shrine</a>.</li> <li>updated <a href="https://hellomei.dev/media">my media log</a>.</li> </ul> 2025-05-30T00:00:00Z https://hellomei.dev/changelog/250530/ <p>jesus, the month flew by just like that. didn't i just update the media log?! anyway...</p> <ul> <li>new artifact: <a href="https://hellomei.dev/artifacts/pkmnfriendshipstats">pokemon friendship stats</a>.</li> <li>new <a href="https://hellomei.dev/diary/250530">diary entry</a>!</li> <li>added a <a href="https://hellomei.dev/treasures">treasure</a>.</li> <li>smaller things: new <a href="https://hellomei.dev/links">neighbors</a>, updated the <a href="https://hellomei.dev/media">media log</a> for may, and added some pics to <a href="https://hellomei.dev/gpoy">gpoy</a>.</li> </ul> <p>let's see, what's up next... i'm aiming to a) compile stuff for the huey/maggie shrine, b) get the beginnings of an fe3h shrine up and running, and c) mayyybe finally get started on a sketchbook page?
