Better website performance with css compression

CSS compression is one of the most crucial stages in website optimization, aimed at reducing the size of CSS code. CSS, a styling language used to design websites, plays a fundamental role in any web project. The more efficient and compact the CSS code, the faster the website loads, leading to an enhanced user experience(...)

Hii will you give us your Psychocuties headcannons? I must know! - @psychokyutie

Sure! This isn't a complete list (because, like a fool, I don't write shit down fjsjjs </3) but here's what I can remember!

Masacrik:

His tights are compression tights! I'll have to look a bit more into POTS but basically I wanna headcanon him with that

He's bisexual with a pathetic homophobic aura

^ from this ehehe

His life can be summed up as "and now I've found I've grown into a tall child" and he despises it

Probably has a lot of self hatred issues ngl

He gets incredibly irritated under harsh lights like the one in his lab or in hospitals, but doesn't realize and just thinks he's entering his "mad scientist mode" when he's under them hsjshdjdh

To build off the canon "doesn't know how to adult and take care of himself and ushka" he refuses to actively learn because not only is it disinteresting, but it's incredibly embarrassing for him that he doesn't know things that his peers already know.

Episode two basically confirmed this one hskshsk but he ofc sings songs at ushka like any pet owner does. Has at least one song that calls her a Franken-kitten

He sometimes contemplates making ushka a friend, but he's so jealous and possessive (and afraid of losing her affections) that he swats the idea away.

^ a lot of his self worth lies in being perceived as this intelligent person who's above others (think how people often perceive Tamakuz as this all-knowing, mysterious person who makes things for their favorite show rather than a person sharing her personal project with the internet). In reality, he struggles to appear suave and cool like he'd like, often stumbling over his words, so he'll push ushka away in hopes she'll see him as such rather than just her owner (and it kinda works! But he's also not the best at the manipulation tactics that require this, certainly not as good as some other characters probably are)

Rakes his nails up and down his flesh when he's irritated or anxious

Ushka:

She tries to perch like a cat, but due to poor balance slips off of whatever she perches on more often than not

Her entire self worth relies on masacrik, so in the early days of her revival she followed him around a lot and mewled for attention. As it became clear though that he'd only give attention when he felt like it, she retreated into her own imaginary world that he has to snap her out of

She seeks out a lot more items than just masacrik's jacket to smell. I imagine she observes him very carefully when he's around the house, and grabs little things from him to put in a stash she has behind the couch. Masacrik isn't aware of the stash because he doesn't clean, but he's definitely noticed ushka nabbing some of his things.

Picks at her stitches, usually when she's anxious, but sometimes just so masacrik will fix her and touch her

Just. Longs for masacrik in both horny and non-horny ways. She wants his touch so bad, whether to get her off or to just show her that she's loved and desired. (But like masacrik's afraid of intimacy so sucks for her <//3)

Strawberry:

I don't have much for her yet, but I think she'd be a css wizard. Girlypop would love using stuff like neocities (but she'd probably hate the current state of the internet, but who doesn't). She'd probably have some really cool site skins for ao3 and her spacehey would be so awesome

There's fashion places around the city that she frequents and has made lots of friends in those places. I imagine she's picked up a lot of gay slang and aave from her friends at these places, and in turn uses them in her everyday vocabulary. Some of which has probably seeped into buttercup's and masacrik's vocabulary now hsjsjs

Buttercup:

The barbie movie exists in this universe just so he can kin Ken, and he's worn his "I am Kenough" hoodie to his job at least once hsjsbdjbd

In his obsession to appear normal, he places masacrik as the peak idea of abnormal, not realizing a lot of his behavior can still come off as strange and weird. Just in a different way than masacrik because of their different motives

Wolf man:

Assuming he's masacrik's father

Probably owns masacrik's and ushka's home, or at least some of the furniture in the home came from him (there's a chest with wolves on it at the end of episode 1)

Even though masacrik hates him he keeps finding ways to infiltrate his son's life

Views masacrik as an object that he owns rather than a person (I imagine it's similar with masacrik's mom)

I think that's all I've got for now. Thank you for asking!

NEW EDITOR 101: A GUIDE FOR GIFMAKERS by v @shangs

Hi friends! I know I said I would do this way back in April/May when this change was announced but I've been massively busy lately so thank you all for being patient with me :)

Based on the results of this poll, I will be trying my level best to help make a guide for gifmakers to best deal with any problems that have been present with the new editor. However, it's worth noting that I have personally not experienced any of these problems myself and I have no record of any problems from other people that I could send to staff and get guidance on, so for some of these issues I will unfortunately be a broken record.

That being said, I have been using the new editor for a few months now and it hasn't been too bad. So don't be discouraged by the new editor if you still love to make gifs and share them. You may need to adapt a bit, but it's doable!

This is meant to be comprehensive and will be explanation and image heavy. Full guide under the cut.

What is the new editor?

Steps to take before posting

Making a post

Troubleshooting

01. WHAT IS THE NEW EDITOR?

Some of you may be asking yourselves what the point of the new editor even is and why it's being implemented in the first place when we already had a (mostly) functional editor. My very limited understanding of it as a CS student is app compatibility and flexibility. I'm not totally clear on the details nor am I 100% certain this is the case, but NPF posts (basically, posts made with the "new editor") first started with the mobile app. I'm unsure if the different post types were simply too unwieldy to transfer to the app - having to make a whole bunch of post types when with the new editor you can now have posts with any elements you want without the rigidity of a set post type - or if it was simply not able to be implemented, but the apps have always used NPF. The majority of Tumblr users are coming from the mobile apps. Then it became a case of having the legacy editor for the web users (which were fewer in number) and the new NPF editor for everyone else. That takes resources to keep around and it's pretty inefficient. Naturally the older editor that was used by less people was going to get the axe, especially since you couldn't tell on mobile that there was even a difference between NPF or legacy posts.

So now here we are and the posts are NPF. This means they're in "Neue Post Format." Basically, every post you make is by default a text post, containing "blocks" of other media - as gifmakers we will primarily be dealing with photos.

I understand that it's frustrating to many to see "our gifs are now rendered as text posts" and ask WHY it's happening when photos should logically be rendered as photo posts - but the fact is, there's now no real delineation between a "text post" and a "photo post." The reason NPF posts are now "text posts" is because that's how they are rendered for desktop themes, not because everyone is going to see your post as text and your gifs are going to be compressed into the quality of a potato (though I know some have seen this issue - more on that later.)

02. STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE POSTING

The long and short of it is that you may have to update your theme. More detail here for those who are interested, but check that your theme supports "new editor posts" or "NPF posts" AND that this is true for original posts (you can read more about why in this ask and, although this may be a bit time-consuming, test it out on your blog). I can say with certainty that my second theme Cygnus supports original NPF posts. This is NOT true of my first theme, though.

You can try to add the NPF Fix by @glenthemes to your own theme (beware if you don't know HTML/CSS) or try this tip by @burningblake for original posts.

Feel free to add theme makers with fully NPF-compatible themes in the notes! I have been happily using my own theme so I can't say to what degree others' themes are NPF-friendly.

03. MAKING A POST

If you're sticking around to post on the new editor and you have trouble ordering your gifs around, here's a little guide on how to post.

If I click on "Photo" from web and open up the editor, here's how it looks:

I went ahead and added three full-width gifs and the editor put them in like so:

You'll most likely also have to order your gifs around in the way you want them. You can go ahead and hover over your gifs to see the button to orient them (the four dots in the top left corner) and the button for an image description (the three dots in the bottom right corner). I've attached images of all three below:

If you hold the orientation button, move your gif around until you see the blue line that shows where your gif will end up in the spot that you want it. For example, I wanted to move the second gif below the first one, so I oriented it so that the blue line would show the marker between the two gifs:

Now my gifs are oriented nicely! Of course, this is a simpler layout, but the principles still hold.

If you save your gifs as a draft and reopen them or you just notice a large gap like this in between your gifs when you're in the editor, don't worry.

This will not show up in dash view or on a desktop theme that supports original NPF posts. For example, this is how the gifs' gap (without modification) looked in my desktop theme:

With your gifs ordered, the final step is to add alt text. You can read more about alt text and why you should use it here. (Feel free to ignore the sections about the captions on the legacy editor since it is no longer relevant. It's also unnecessary to clearly mark descriptions if they're not in the caption of your post because they will clearly show up under "ALT" on Tumblr.)

If you click the three dots in the bottom right corner as seen above, and click "update image description:"

You can add the description you like and click "update." Your photos' alt text will show up under the "ALT" bubble on Tumblr. This is generally a good practice to get into to make your content more accessible, so I hope you guys will consider using alt text regularly :)

Also, I've noticed that in the editor, if you go back and edit something it will take some time to show up. You may have to refresh the page or load it again after some time, but your edits should be there. I would not go back and edit posts again if you see your posts haven't shown up. I also advise against editing your posts on mobile because it's easier to make a mistake.

And there you go, you've successfully made a post with the new editor!

04. TROUBLESHOOTING

I'm sure you've all been waiting for this. Unfortunately I am probably going to be extremely unhelpful if the editor hasn't been refined in the last few months for those experiencing issues. I'm going to go in the categories that I listed out in my original poll, but keep in mind that I haven't personally seen any of these issues on my end so I haven't been able to contact staff with any evidence that this happened other than my poll.

Dashboard view quality issues: I haven't noticed this issue. I'm not sure if this has been fixed since the original poll was posted. If you're experiencing this issue, this is not something I know how to fix so I would contact staff with screenshots of the issue.

Desktop theme side padding: As noted before, this is a theme issue. If you change themes to something that is NPF-compatible with original posts, there shouldn't be any more issues here.

Small gifs on mobile: In my experience this was happening regardless of what editor was used; it's a bug that seems to have been fixed since this poll was created. If you're still experiencing it, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I would advise contacting staff.

New editor doesn't accept gifs of size 9.8MB < x < 10MB: I haven't experienced this issue so I would say the only workaround would be to either trim the size of your gif so that it is under 9.8MB or whatever threshold seems to be the cutoff or contact staff (I am so sorry for constantly having to suggest this 😭 unfortunately there's no trick I can offer because the new editor has been taking all my gifs just fine)

Logistical issues ordering gifsets: I hope this guide has been able to answer the majority of questions and shed some light on some of the more buggy behaviors of the new editor, but if you have any more specific questions you can feel free to shoot me an ask!

HTML issues / colored text: Unfortunately it seems colored text may be deprecated entirely? This could be for accessibility purposes because I believe screen readers would read out every single letter of gradient text in captions which I imagine can get quite frustrating for users of this technology. I recommend just using the normal rich text editor. If you want small text, you can highlight and click the <s> button!

Other: If it seems like something I may be able to answer, please feel free to ask me. Otherwise... hound staff 😭

Here's where you can hound staff, btw. If you're having major issues I would advise you guys to submit support tickets. That way if there are any widespread bugs, staff will hopefully be able to fix them.

I hope this guide was helpful to you guys in dealing with the new editor, and happy giffing <3

[terraliensvent]

Can we mention and call attention to how their website looks now? They don't seem to check the final work at all. Some items like Gummy Eye, Shell Pot, and Inchsect are larger than the rest of the items, which makes them stick out of the line, which is just ugly.

Also now the images for forest and grassland locations have just a huge weight, which makes the foraging page take an unreasonable amount of time to load. Guys, I just want to make a couple clicks and go about my business again, why should I have to wait for the site to load because your images weigh so much?

And continuing with the artist thing. Items are drawn in different styles and it seems like the current owners don't think about how things end up looking at all. And I just don't understand why? I thought the new owners were more interested in the quality of the species, but it looks like I was wrong.

This all goes to show that the moderation doesn't seem to check at all how certain pages are displayed and working.

the item sizes thing i remember being way more egregious than this (or maybe it has to do with the fact im on mobile), but the funny thing about lorekeeper is that the size of items and awards and stuff is determined by the size of the image. im pretty sure you have to edit the css if you want the site to automatically resize the images.

the heavy images issue is also something ive noticed, they NEED to compress the images for the foraging locations because if it loads like shit now, imagine what itll be like when they all have insanely large image files to boot up when people just wanna do 3 clicks. its incredibly easy to compress images, you can do it right from your browser and usually theres no way to even tell the difference between a compressed image and a non-compressed (at least when its been resized like the foraging locations are). the same issue comes up with the items, inventories take forever to load now and i think the problem is because EVERY NEW ITEM IS ON A 1000x1000 CANVAS. for reference, lorekeeper recommends 100x100 for items. you do NOT need a canvas that big, and it shows they dont really know how to make items.

listen, i dont mean to hate on terra artists or whatever, just gonna point out examples

the problem with using such a big canvas for items is that you create a lot of tiny details that arent needed for an item icon. think of items in video games, you want to make something visually appealing and recognizable with as little detail as possible. the pincher potion, gummy eye, and silk wyrm are good examples of this, limited palettes, strong linework, and enough contrast/strong silhouette to be recognized from far away. i think the fur pop, shell pot, and moonfin are examples of how not to do items. the fur pop is too overly rendered, and the linework is very thin and small within the actual lollipop. the moonfin and shell pot both have small details (ie. the tassel on the moonfin’s arrow + the bits of fur on the shell pot) and the rendering issue from before. reminder that these are eventually going to be used as emojis on the discord, theyll be incredibly hard to read at such a small size plus incredibly unrecognizable to users familiar with the old items. in addition, the shell pot lacks direction in design, it reads more as an item that would grant a tail trait or a mist trait, not shell/exoskeleton. fallen tail, monstera bat, and horseshoe beetle also have these issues, but theyre similar enough to the old items that people will probably still recognize them.

like, look at these iconic items. they are so popular because theyre simple and recognizable from a distance, you can make them as big or as small as you want, you can see it from 10 feet away and still know what it is. THATS good item design.

i think this goes back to “mods hiring their friends,” you just pick people on a personal bias and dont consider the level of skill in making specific items because item design is not the same as making fully finished rendered art. it takes a different eye and you need to think of different principles than you would when making a full piece.

and heres the thing, that doesnt even necessarily mean the art is bad. the fur pop for example, has a very distinct and eye catching style; however, the issue is that theres no uniformity WHATSOEVER. these dont look like theyre all part of the same world, if all the items were done in the same gritty rendered style of the fur pop i would say its a great set, its the fact that you have some items that are incredibly simple, some that are “gritty,” and some that are just silly.

if nothing else, at the very least PLEASE make your canvas smaller and compress your images, youre making the site painful to use (and thats especially an issue when your site has so little functionality anyways)

How to Speed Up Your WordPress Site for Better Rankings

A fast-loading website is essential for better SEO, improved user experience, and higher conversions. If your WordPress site is slow, you’re likely losing both visitors and ranking opportunities. Here’s how you can fix that.

Choose the Right Hosting

Your hosting provider sets the foundation for your website’s speed. Shared hosting may be affordable, but it often leads to slow performance. Instead, go for managed WordPress hosting or cloud-based options. Many professional website development services include high-performance hosting setup as part of their package.

Use a Lightweight Theme

A bulky, feature-heavy theme can slow your site down significantly. Switch to a lightweight and optimized theme like Astra, Neve, or GeneratePress to improve load time without compromising design.

Optimize Images

Images are often the biggest contributors to page size. Compress them using tools like ShortPixel or Smush, and use next-gen formats like WebP for faster delivery.

Install a Caching Plugin

Caching helps by storing static versions of your site, reducing the server load. Plugins like WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache can make a noticeable difference in performance.

Minify and Combine Files

Reduce the size of your CSS, JS, and HTML files by minifying them. This removes unnecessary characters and spaces to speed up load time. Tools like Autoptimize make this easy.

Use a CDN

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) distributes your content across multiple servers globally, ensuring faster access no matter where your visitors are located.

Clean Up Unused Plugins and Database

Too many plugins can slow your site and affect performance. Remove what you don’t use and regularly clean your database using WP-Optimize or similar tools.

Final Thoughts

Speed is a major factor in how users and search engines interact with your site. If you’re unsure where to start, partnering with expert website development services can help you optimize every technical aspect for maximum performance and SEO benefits.

How to Create Mobile-Friendly Websites with Responsive Design

In today’s digital era, where mobile devices dominate web traffic, creating mobile-friendly websites has become more important than ever.  As users increasingly access the internet through smartphones and tablets, businesses must ensure their websites are optimized for a seamless mobile experience.  This is where responsive design comes into play.  At Nividaweb, a leading responsive web design agency in Vadodara, we specialize in crafting websites that look and perform flawlessly on any device.

Here is a comprehensive guide on how to create mobile-friendly websites with responsive design:

What is Responsive Design?

Responsive web design is a design approach that ensures a website's layout and content adapt dynamically to different screen sizes and resolutions.  Whether your users are browsing on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone, a responsive website delivers a consistent and user-friendly experience.  This adaptability is essential for improving user engagement, reducing bounce rates, and enhancing overall website performance.

Why Responsive Design Matters?

Before diving into the how-to, let us understand why responsive design is crucial:

Improved User Experience:  A responsive website ensures that users can navigate and interact with your site effortlessly, regardless of their device.

Higher Search Engine Rankings:  Search engines like Google prioritize mobile-friendly websites in their rankings, making responsive design a key factor in SEO.

Increased Conversion Rates:  With a user-friendly interface, responsive websites encourage visitors to stay longer and take action, boosting conversions.

Cost-Effective Maintenance:  Instead of maintaining separate websites for desktop and mobile users, a responsive design simplifies updates and reduces costs.

Steps to Create a Mobile-Friendly Website with Responsive Design

1.         Start with a Mobile-First Approach

The mobile-first approach involves designing the website for smaller screens first and then scaling up for larger devices.  This method ensures that the core elements are optimized for mobile users.  A responsive web design company in Vadodara like Nividaweb emphasizes this approach to ensure a seamless user experience on all devices.

2.         Use a Flexible Grid Layout

A flexible grid layout is the foundation of responsive design.  It allows website elements to adjust proportionally based on the screen size.  Instead of fixed-width layouts, use percentages and relative units like ems or rems to define dimensions.  This ensures that your website adapts smoothly to different screen resolutions.

3.         Optimize Images and Media

Large images and media files can slow down your website, especially on mobile devices.  To enhance performance:

Use responsive images that scale according to screen size.

Implement modern image formats like WebP for better compression.

Use CSS media queries to serve appropriate image sizes based on the user’s device.

At Nividaweb, a trusted responsive website design company in Gujarat, we leverage advanced tools to optimize images and improve loading times.

4.         Implement CSS Media Queries

CSS media queries are essential for responsive design.  They enable you to apply specific styles based on the device’s characteristics, such as screen width, height, or resolution.

5.         Prioritize Touch-Friendly Navigation

Mobile users interact with websites using touch gestures, so it is essential to design navigation that is easy to use.  Key considerations include:

Larger buttons and clickable areas.

Simplified menus with collapsible options for smaller screens.

Avoiding hover-dependent features, as they do not work well on touch devices.

6.         Test on Multiple Devices and Browsers

Testing is a critical step in creating a mobile-friendly website.  Use tools like Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test and browser developer tools to simulate various devices and screen sizes.  Additionally, test your website on physical devices to identify and resolve any usability issues.

7.         Ensure Fast Loading Times

Mobile users expect websites to load quickly.  A slow-loading site can lead to higher bounce rates and lost opportunities.  To optimize loading times:

Minimize HTTP requests by combining CSS and JavaScript files.

Enable browser caching and compression.

Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to deliver content faster.

As a responsive web design company in Vadodara, Nividaweb employs performance optimization techniques to ensure your website loads swiftly across all devices.

8.         Leverage Responsive Typography

Typography plays a crucial role in readability and user experience.  Use scalable fonts that adapt to screen sizes and maintain legibility on smaller devices.  Tools like CSS’s viewport units (e.g., vw, vh) can help create fluid typography that adjusts dynamically.

9.         Incorporate Mobile-Friendly Features

Enhance your website's usability by integrating features tailored for mobile users:

Click-to-call buttons for quick communication.

Location-based services like maps.

Fast and secure payment options for e-commerce websites.

10.      Work with Experts in Responsive Design

Creating a truly responsive and mobile-friendly website requires expertise and experience.  Partnering with a reputable responsive web design agency in Vadodara, like Nividaweb, ensures that your website meets the highest standards of design and functionality.

Why Choose Nividaweb for Responsive Website Design

Readability: Use brief paragraphs, subheadings, and bullet points to make content material scannable.

Engaging Visuals: Incorporate great images, movies, and infographics to complement textual content.

 On-page search engine marketing

On-page search engine marketing entails optimizing character internet pages to rank better in seek engine results.

Title Tags: Create compelling and keyword-rich titles within 50-60 characters.

Meta Descriptions: Write concise descriptions that summarize the page content material and consist of target keywords.

Header Tags (H1, H2, and so forth.): Use headers to shape content material logically and improve readability.

Internal Linking: Link to different applicable pages in your website to enhance navigation and search engine optimization.

Super-Small Stardust Saga, Prologue

Hey there! You're reading an archived, imperfect version of a post originally from my Cohost!! Rest in peace to the best website. This version of the story will be missing some essential formatting aspects. Otherwise, I'll do my best to archive everything textwise and image-wise. Anyway, the text originally read:

~~~

I'm hosting chapters on this second page so as to avoid clogging up my main page with chapters AND allow folks to follow specifically the CYOA if they're so inclined!

This will be a unique Interactive fiction project in my micro-oriented sci-fi kink setting, the Punyverse! I'm going to be hosting it here on Cohost, and taking advantage of css and Cohost's unique page layout in order to try and create something that I couldn't really fit on other sites like Twitter or Tumblr or what have you.

Most importantly, while I'm certainly planning to be writing most of it myself, I'm going to leave "unwritten" paths and branches down the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure path as "open" slots, so that collaborators can contribute in a way similar to Writing.com Interactives (though obviously with a stronger grip on quality control than WDC!) I encourage folks to reach out and DM me in the future if you're interested. You can reach me on Twitter, Discord, and Tumblr.

Before we start, be aware that while this prologue is tame, future chapters can and will contain kink/fetish content, including but not limited to macro/micro, nano/giga, furry, anthro, non-anthro (quadrupedal, serpentine, etc), genitals/sexual content, situations of ambiguous consent, feet/paws, butt, vore, dom/sub, humiliation, boobs, peril/destruction, and more.

As with all stories of mine involving non-human characters, all parties pass the Harkness test, being of human-level intelligence, 18+ or equivalent sexual & mental maturity for their species, and involving themselves of their own free will.

This first part is simple scene-setting. As always, if you notice a formatting error, typo, or other problem, please let me know!

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for reading!

Year 2212. Also known as Collective Calendar 3-42-15-8999.

With the Earth giving out in terms of resources, humanity decided to leave its nest into the wider universe. That’s the simple version of that bit of history. The fleet, carrying just over 9 billion people, made quick tracks out of the solar system. Once past the Kuiper Belt, the ESS Bifrost activated the wormhole gate, and humanity entered, to be taken faster than light to the next place they would call home.

In retrospect, they could probably have remained on Earth a few more decades to test wormholes with some extra rigor.

Humanity emerged on the opposite side of their galactic neighborhood with no viable route back, no idea where they were, and, of course, lest any of us forget: pulled through a pocket of spatial compression that effectively reduced the size of their entire fleet and everyone in it to 1/12000th scale. Humans that were once 5 foot 11 inches were now 5 thou and 11 subthou tall, .15mm tall. Paltry. Microscopic. Blissfully Ignorant of just how small and in need they all now were. The fleet would rapidly have depleted all of its power and resources in no time at all, had it not immediately been intercepted by the Interstellar Collective.

Integration was tough those first few years.1 But eventually, humanity was able to carve out some small – very small – niche within the pangalactic community. And despite all the new difficulties of this new frontier, at this new size, humanity climbs ever further.

That’s where You come in. You’ve spent the last several years achieving the credentials necessary to become a ship captain. It wasn’t easy – especially making boot camp at the size of a fleck. Even getting approval to pursue a spot aboard Academy Station took a few favors. But today, at last, is the day you graduate and become one of only four or six-ish human captains of a multi-member vessel to exist!

Your itinerary for today is quite simple. First, you need to meet with Academy Station’s Director, to complete the final steps of ceremony and receive your badge (very important!). Second, a Lieutenant-Captain whose name eludes you (temporarily!) wanted to meet to requisition your leadership aboard a cruiser. Third, you would then have to go down to the Large Vessels Lot and introduce yourself to the crew and vessel, and then presumably tomorrow morning you would leave on that vessel for a grand adventure through the galaxy.

You look over your graduation documentation once more to verify that everything is in order. At the top is your basic personal information. It reads…

Option 1: Fem Captain At the top, in neat print, the document reads:

Name: Justine Sieva Skylor Species: Human (Sellan) Dimorphism: Female DOB: 3-38-04-9001. (1/29/2217) Mass: 0.2 micrograms* (See Addendum) Height: .144mm* (See Addendum)

Followed by copies of that same information in a few other formats. Near the bottom of the page are a few addendums and notes explaining the conditions of humanity's size issues.

Since this information is accurate, you decide to head off to go visit the Director and get yourself recognized! Yup, this is me! {To Prologue Part 2.}

At the top, in neat print, the document reads:

Name: Septem Vel Septendecim Lis (Preferred Name: Sep) Species: Viable Hybrid (Human / Soldrakanoid) Dimorphism: Male DOB: 3-38-04-9001. (1/29/2217) Mass: 0.24 micrograms* (See Addendum) Height: .150mm* (See Addendum)

Followed by copies of that same information in a few other formats. Near the bottom of the page are a few addendums and notes explaining the conditions of humanity's size issues.

...Yup, looks correct, you think. You decide to head off to go visit the Director and get yourself your badge.

{Note: This chapter wasn't written/complete yet at time of Cohost's shutdown}

Footnotes

Joining the Collective was easy enough – their extraterrestrial neighbors were more than happy to offer humans shelter and assistance. A lot more than happy, to put it gently. Aliens meeting each other in groups tend to experience a wave of social and emotional euphoria – that is to say, aliens naturally develop crushes on other species at first sight. And humanity, as the smallest species in space and the newest member of the Collective, was quite a hot topic for months. Many, many species met humanity during that initial acclimation to the cosmic lifestyle – and almost as many saw humanity as playmates, toys, objects of affection, pets... and so on. To this day, the wormhole research project that is the primary lead on possibly fixing humanity’s size drags at a snail’s pace due to just how much the other species assisting the project ‘love’ their human coworkers. To say nothing of the Collective’s nickname for humanity – the Sellans – or the numerous “research projects” with massive embarrassment for mankind as primary consequence. Many new prospective city-type colonies have been relocated to humiliating circumstances in the care of relative giants.

The Mobile-First Indexing Revolution

What is Mobile-First Indexing?

Mobile-First Indexing is Google's response to the mobile-centric digital age. Traditionally, Google primarily crawled and indexed desktop versions of websites, using that data to determine rankings for both desktop and mobile searches. However, the rise of mobile usage led to a fundamental change – Google began prioritizing the mobile version of a website for indexing and ranking. This means that a website's mobile version now takes precedence in search results, making mobile optimization more critical than ever.

Mobile-First Indexing matters for several compelling reasons:

User-Centric Approach: It aligns with the user-centric trend, as more people access the internet via mobile devices than ever before.

Improved User Experience: Mobile-First Indexing encourages website owners to enhance the mobile experience, resulting in faster-loading pages and improved usability.
