i've been working on my neocities website and wanted to compile a bunch of places where one can find decor. this is not an extensive list, but rather a bunch of places where you can start finding resources.

please note that various pages could strain the eyes, including flashing lights or colors. pages called 'blinkies' usually have flashing colors throughout. [* = prominent flashing lights]

i suggest not linking back (aka hotlinking) to the resources on the website. instead upload it yourself onto either neocities or an image hosting site and include credit. this way, if the person hosting the image deletes their page or loses the image somehow, your website will still be fine. (i didn't do this and had to find everything all over again... )

i have found that the best websites to use as companions to neocities are w3schools, pinterest, tumblr, and any image hosting site. w3schools for coding tutorials. pinterest for inspiration or for graphics. tumblr for any type of decor and advice. to edit my code and have a live preview, i use codepen.io.

since you read through all this, maybe take a look at my neocities site and follow me! <3

[screentones-webcomicresources]

There are many web hosting companies to choose from if you're taking the plunge into making your own website with a comic content management system (CMS) like ComicControl or Grawlix, a Wordpress comic theme like Toocheke or ComicPress, or a HTML template to cut/paste code like Rarebit. While these solutions are generally free, finding a home for them is... generally not. It can be hard to choose what's best for your webcomic AND your budget!

We took a look at a few of the top hosting services used by webcomics creators using webcomic CMSes, and we put out a poll to ask your feedback about your hosts!

This post may be updated as time goes on as new services enter the hosting arena, or other important updates come to light.

Questions:

💻 I can get a free account with Wix/Squarespace/Carrd, could I just use those for my comic? - Web hosts like this may have gallery functions that could be adapted to display a series of pages, but they are very basic and not intended for webcomics.

📚 Wait, I host on Webtoon, Tapas, Comic Fury, or some other comic website, why are they not here? - Those are comic platforms! We'll get into those in a future post!

🕵️‍♀️Why does it say "shared hosting"? Who am I sharing with? - "Shared hosting" refers to sharing the server space with other customers. They will not have access to your files or anything, so it is perfectly fine to use for most comic CMSes. You may experience slowing if there is too much activity on a server, so if you're planning to host large files or more than 10 comics, you may want to upgrade to a more robust plan in the future.

Web Host List

Neocities

Basic plan pricing: Free or $5/month. Free plan has more restrictions (1 GB space, no custom domain, and slower bandwidth, among other things)

Notes: Neocities does not have database support for paid or free accounts, and most comic CMS solutions require this (ComicCtrl, Grawlix, Wordpress). You will need to work with HTML/CSS files directly to make a website and post each page.

Hostinger

Basic plan pricing: $11.99/month or $7.99/month with four year commitment (monthly, 1, 2, and 4 year plans available).

Notes: Free domain for the 1st year. Free SSL Certifications. Weekly backups.

KnownHost

Basic plan pricing: $8.95/month or $7.99/month with four year commitment (monthly, 1, 2, and 4 year plans available).

Notes: Free DDOS protection. Free SSL Certifications.

InMotion Hosting

Basic plan pricing: $12.99/month or $9.99/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, and 3 year plans available).

Notes:  Free SSL Certifications, free domain names for 1 and 3 year plans. 24/7 live customer service and 90-day money-back guarantee. Inmotion also advertises eco-friendly policies: We are the first-ever Green Data Center in Los Angeles. We cut cooling costs by nearly 70 percent and reduce our carbon output by more than 2,000 tons per year.

Reviews:

👍“I can't remember it ever going down.”

👍“InMotion has a pretty extensive library full of various guides on setting up and managing websites, servers, domains, etc. Customer service is also fairly quick on responding to inquiries.” 👎“I wish it was a bit faster with loading pages.”

Ionos Hosting

Basic plan pricing: $8/month or $6/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 2 and 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free domain for the first year, free SSL Certification, Daily backup and recovery is included. Site Scan and Repair is free for the first 30 days and then is $6/month.

Reviews:

👍“Very fast and simple” 👎“Customer service is mediocre and I can't upload large files”

Bluehost

Basic plan pricing: $15.99/month or $4.95/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free domain and SSL certificates (for first year only). 24/7 Customer Service. Built to handle higher traffic websites. Although they specialize in Wordpress websites and provide updates automatically, that's almost a bad thing for webcomic plugins because they will often break your site. Their cloud hosting services are currently in early access with not much additional information available.

Reviews:

👎"The fees keep going up. Like I could drop $100 to cover a whole year, but now I'm paying nearly $100 for just three months. It's really upsetting."

👎"I have previously used Bluehost’s Wordpress hosting service and have had negative experiences with the service, so please consider with a grain of salt. I can confirm at least that their 24/7 customer service was great, although needed FAR too often."

Dreamhost

Basic plan pricing: $7.99/month or $5.99/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free SSL Certificates, 24/7 support with all plans, 97-day moneyback guarantee. Not recommended for ComicCtrl CMS

Reviews:

👍“They've automatically patched 2 security holes I created/allowed by mistake.” 👍“Prices are very reasonable” 👎 “back end kind of annoying to use” 👎 “wordpress has some issues” 👎 “it's not as customizable as some might want“

GoDaddy

Basic plan pricing: $11.99/month or $9.99/month with three year commitment (monthly, 1, 2, and 3 year plans available).

Notes: Free 24/7 Customer service with all plans, Free SSL Certificates for 1 year, free domain and site migration.

Reviews:

👍Reasonable intro prices for their Economy hosting, which has 25GB of storage 👍Migrated email hosting service from cPanel to Microsoft Office, which has greater support but may not be useful for most webcomic creators. 👎 Many site issues and then being upsold during customer service attempts. 👎 Server quality found lacking in reviews 👎 Marketing scandals in the past with a reputation for making ads in poor taste. Have been attempting to clean up that image in recent years. 👎 “GoDaddy is the McDonald's of web hosting. Maybe the Wal-Mart of hosting would be better. If your website was an object you would need a shelf to put it on. You go to Wal-Mart and buy a shelf. It's not great. It's not fancy. It can only hold that one thing. And if we're being honest - if the shelf broke and your website died it wouldn't be the end of the world.The issue comes when you don't realize GoDaddy is the Wal-Mart of hosting. You go and try to do things you could do with a quality shelf. Like, move it. Or add more things to it.” MyWorkAccountThisIs on Reddit*

Things to consider for any host:

💸 Introductory/promotional pricing - Many hosting companies offer free or inexpensive deals to get you in the door, and then raise the cost for these features after the first year or when you renew. The prices in this post are the base prices that you can expect to pay after the promotional prices end, but may get outdated, so you are encouraged to do your own research as well.

💻 Wordpress hosting - Many of the companies below will have a separate offering for Wordpress-optimized hosting that will keep you updated with the latest Wordpress releases. This is usually not necessary for webcomic creators, and can be the source of many site-breaking headaches when comic plugins have not caught up to the latest Wordpress releases.

Any basic hosting plan on this list will be fine with Wordpress, but expect to stop or revert Wordpress versions if you go with this as your CMS.

🤝 You don't have to go it alone - While free hosts may be more limited, paid hosting on a web server will generally allow you to create different subdomains, or attach additional purchased domains to any folders you make. If you have other comic-making friends you know and trust, you can share your server space and split the cost!

Want to share your experience?

Feel free to contribute your hosting pros, cons, and quirks on our survey! We will be updating our list periodically with your feedback!

Tiendas de objetos 100% automáticas en foroactivo.

Hola, volví de entre los muertos.

Hoy estuve hablando con mi querida amiga Zella (de @entourage-themes) y de la nada me tiró un datazo sobre foroactivo que me permitió lograr lo que llevaba años queriendo tener en esta plataforma de la v**ga que amo-odio.

Iba a guardarme esto para cuando no tuviera un formulario hecho con lentejas y plasticola, pero me picaban demasiado las manos, así que acá tienen un vídeo de la primera versión.

Realmente desconozco si alguien más ya logró crear una tienda 100% automática en foroactivo, pero por lo que he hablado con otras personas... parece que no.

Soy muy viejo... viejísimo. Tan viejo como para haber roleado en foros.ws y recordar que foroactivo era el plan B de muchos usuarios. Era así porque foros.ws no solo te ofrecía todas las funcionalidades de foroactivo, sino que también te daba una tienda automática. Es decir, los usuarios no tenían que:

Responder a un tema diciendo "compro esto, y esto otro, tengo tanto dinero, y me queda tanto dinero restante".

Esperar a que un moderador revise su post y le agregue los objetos.

El sistema que armé no es perfecto (fueron 5 horas de código, no me pidan mucho, por favor) y estoy haciendo un par de cosas ultra rebuscadas para saltarme las limitaciones de foroactivo. También hay varios "peros" que quiero eliminar del sistema antes de darlo por terminado, pero bueno... funciona.

Si las mejoras que tengo en mente salen bien, el staff del foro podría generar código HTML para un campo personalizado (el que usaré para los objetos del inventario) en lugar de limitarse a escribir BBCODE nada más. Yyyy también sería relativamente sencillo modificar el inventario de un usuario.

Así que nada, si ya existía... pues he reinventado la rueda... (?)

Como mudar o tema do seu blog!

Oioi! Já venho pensado em fazer esse tutorial há um tempo, e hoje finalmente resolvi colocar a mão na massa! Aqui, vou ensinar você a mudar o tema do seu blog aqui no Tumblr, e é super rápido e fácil!

Esse é o tema do meu blog, ou seja, se você acessá-lo pelo computador, vai ver assim!

Abaixo do corte, estão os passos a serem seguidos 〜(￣▽￣〜)

Primeiramente, você precisa estar no computador para fazer isso. Acredito que seja possível fazer pelo navegador no celular também, mas a diferença é que pelos dispositivos móveis os temas customizados não aparecem :/

🫧1. Acesse o painel "Conta" na aba lateral esquerda

🫧2. Escolha qual blog você deseja mudar o tema

Sim, eu tenho uns 35 sub blogs aqui no tumblr! O principal é beadickel, e uso os outros três abaixo (deltadrummer, beatrizdickel e araggie) para diferentes tipos de reblogs. O debaixo desses criei para um projeto que não foi pra frente, e o i-am-just-ken criei junto com minha amiga Rafa (o dela é o aandsoami).

🫧3. Clique em "Configurações do blog"

🫧4. Ative a opção de "Tema personalizado"

Ao acessar as configurações do blog, essa tela vai aparecer, e nela você encontra tudo o que diz respeito à privaciadade, asks, e é claro, o tema, do seu blog.

Depois de ativar a opção, acesse "editar tema".

🫧5. Clique em "visualizar temas" se quiser algo diferente

Você pode manter o tema padrão do Tumblr se quiser, mas também pode explorar as infinitas opções disponíveis! Você pode escolher uma das opções que o Tumblr deixa disponíveis nesse painel, lembrando que há opções gratuitas e pagas.

🫧6. Acessando a galeria de temas do Tumblr

As opções desse painel acima são bem limitadas, então recomendo você acessar a galeria de temas do Tumblr. Assim como no painel, a galeria contem temas pagos e gratuitos. Para acessar, vá até https://www.tumblr.com/themes

🫧7. Escolhendo um tema

São MUITAS, mas MUITAS opções mesmo! Adoro ficar passeando por todas elas, vendo quais temas se encaixam melhor nos meus blogs. Para esse do Ken, escolhi esse tema simples e rosinha da Miss Yani, a mesma criadora do tema que eu uso no meu blog principal.

Você pode visualizar cada um dos temas, e também instalar quando sentir que achou o ideal. Ao clicar em "instalar", você deve escolher em qual blog ele será aplicado.

🫧8. Personalização y otras cositas mas

Depois de instalar o tema, você será redirecionado ao seu blog, que aggora terá o novo tema! Você pode personalizá-lo o quanto quiser, seguindo as opções disponíveis de customização ou mexendo no HTML caso queira acrescentar blinkies ou outras coisas.

Não mudei nada no i-am-just-ken.tumblr.com além da foto ao lado (por padrão esse tema vinha com a foto de uma mona). Esse tema permite mudar a cor dos textos, títulos, links... são várias opções!

Espero que esse tutorial tenha te ajudado! Mande pros seus amigos tumblrzetes também ;) Até a próxima!

🧡 Tuesday Tips #4: 🧡 50 Reasons to Build a Personal Website Instead of Relying on Social Media

So you’ve been thinking about making a personal website, huh? Maybe you're feeling a little burned out from ad bombardments, or just social media in general lately. Good news: you’re not alone. There’s a growing group of people carving out cozy corners of the internet that are completely their own. We call it the Small Web (also known as the Indie Web), and it’s honestly kind of magical.

Still not sure if you're ready to dive in? Here are 50 reasons why building a personal website beats relying on social media. (Warning: may cause spontaneous domain name purchases.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. It’s yours. Like, actually yours.

When you post on social media, you're essentially renting space. Your content can be removed, shadowbanned, or buried at any time without warning. With your own site, you're the landlord, the designer, and the content creator all rolled into one. It’s digital ownership in its purest form.

2. No weird algorithm whispering.

Social media is a game of guessing what the algorithm wants. One day, it loves video. The next, it punishes you for posting too much. With a personal website, what you post is what people see—no weird magic tricks required.

3. No ads.

Unless you choose to put them there. Your website doesn’t need to shout at visitors to buy toothpaste or download the latest app. It can just be a calm, ad-free oasis of you.

4. Zero doomscrolling.

You know the drill. You go on to post something and 45 minutes later you’re deep into a thread of rage. Your personal site? No feed, no drama. (You can create a blog feed though via RSS if you want to!)

5. You can make it look exactly how you want.

Want a sparkly cursor? A cozy vintage theme? Maybe a floating cat gif? Go for it. Your site is your canvas, and there are no design police.

6. You get to be weird.

Weird is welcome. In fact, it's encouraged. Build a shrine to your favorite childhood cartoon or create a digital bookshelf of every novel you’ve ever loved. There are no rules here.

7. You’ll learn cool stuff.

Even if you’re starting with zero knowledge, making a website teaches you things—HTML, CSS, design, structure, creative writing. It’s the kind of learning that feels like playing.

8. You can make it feel like a digital home.

Social profiles are rented apartments. Your website? A house you get to decorate, organize, and live in. It becomes a familiar, comfortable space that reflects you.

9. No one’s watching your every move.

Unlike social media platforms, which track everything you do to serve you ads, your website can be a surveillance-free zone. Visitors can hang out without being followed around the internet afterward.

10. You’re not competing for likes.

There’s no like button on your site (unless you want one). So you’re free to post what you love, not what will perform best in a popularity contest.

11. You set the vibe.

Want lo-fi music autoplaying in the background? Go for it. Want every page to start with a motivational quote or your cat's daily wisdom? It’s all up to you. Your site, your mood.

12. It can evolve with you.

Unlike a locked-down profile, your personal site can grow, change, and shift over time. Turn your blog into a portfolio. Make your old art gallery a recipe archive. It’s a living space.

13. No random feature changes.

Remember when Instagram tried to become TikTok overnight? Yeah. Your website isn’t going to suddenly switch up on you because a CEO changed their mind. Stability, baby. You make the rules.

14. You decide what stays up.

Posts don’t disappear unless you want them to. No mysterious removals. No content warnings slapped on your grandma's casserole recipe.

15. You won’t get locked out.

Unless you forget your password (write it down!), you can’t get banned from your own website. No more waking up to “your account has been suspended” emails.

16. You control the narrative.

Algorithms love to de-contextualize things. Your website gives you the full story. A place to explain, explore, and express on your own terms.

17. People visit because they want to.

They didn’t stumble in while scrolling. They came to see you. That kind of intentionality makes every visit feel a little more meaningful.

18. You can make timeless content.

Instead of disappearing into a sea of tweets, your thoughts can live forever on a well-organized blog post or static page. Evergreen content has a real home on the web.

19. It helps you build your digital legacy.

Someday, people will want to know who you were. Your website is a time capsule. A treasure map. A story of who you are in your own words.

20. You can connect without the chaos.

Guestbooks, comment sections, or even email forms let people reach out without the noise of DMs, trolls, or spam bots.

21. No character limits.

Got a lot to say? Say it. You're not confined to 280 characters or forced to cut down your thoughts to fit a format. Write a sentence or an essay—your site doesn’t care.

22. You can build your own community.

With a little creativity, you can add forums, guestbooks, chat boxes, or webrings. Create a cozy club of like-minded folks without relying on corporate platforms.

23. It’s immune to social media shutdowns.

When a platform dies or gets bought out and ruined (*cough* Twitter), your site doesn’t flinch. It’s still there, waiting for visitors.

24. You can express yourself fully.

From color schemes to quirky fonts and animated gifs, you’re not boxed into a single identity photo and bio. Let your personality spill into every page.

25. There are no trolls unless you invite them.

You can moderate comments or remove them entirely. Unlike public platforms, you don’t have to tolerate abuse, spam, or bad vibes.

26. You get to experiment freely.

Try a new blog format, embed a mini-game, host a digital pet. You can play and break things and rebuild—all without anyone watching.

27. It gives you creative freedom.

Poetry, zines, recipes, fiction, rants, longform essays, audio diaries—whatever you make, there’s space for it.

28. Your content won’t be buried.

On social media, your posts vanish/become irrelevant within hours. On your site, people can discover things you wrote years ago just as easily as something from yesterday.

29. You can showcase your work beautifully.

Whether you're a photographer, writer, or crocheter, your site can act as a curated gallery. Show off what you’re proud of without it being surrounded by chaos.

30. It’s a great place to archive.

Old blog posts, artwork, digital journals—your site becomes a place to store your memories, milestones, and the things that matter most to you.

31. You can link out to cool stuff.

Unlike platforms that try to trap you inside their walls, your website can point people to other places you love, including friends’ sites, resources, or secret gems.

32. You’re not a product.

Social media thrives on turning users into data. Your website doesn’t track or manipulate you. It’s just… yours. That's it! There's no catch.

33. It doesn’t interrupt you.

No notifications. No infinite scroll. Just a peaceful little world that sits quietly until you decide to update it.

34. You’ll meet kindred spirits.

People who find personal websites often do so intentionally. They’re curious, thoughtful, and usually pretty lovely. Great ingredients for real connection.

35. You can revisit and reflect.

Years later, reading your old posts can feel like a time machine. Your site becomes a living archive of your thoughts, dreams, and progress.

36. It makes you more mindful.

Without the instant gratification loop of likes and retweets, you might find yourself thinking more deeply about what you post and why.

37. It’s free of FOMO.

You’re not constantly seeing other people’s highlight reels and comparing your behind-the-scenes. Your site focuses on you, not everyone else.

38. You can go slow.

No need to keep up with trends or daily posts. Update when you feel like it. Take a break. Come back refreshed. Your site will still be there.

39. You can use your own domain.

Having yourname.com just feels cool, right? It’s like planting a flag in your own corner of the internet.

40. You don’t have to chase followers.

Instead of playing the growth game, you can focus on making cool stuff. The people who find you will be the ones who genuinely care.

41. It encourages intentionality.

Because updates aren’t instant, you’ll likely spend more time crafting your content. That care shows, and it makes your site feel special.

42. You can build your own tools.

Want a mood tracker? A mini wiki? A spell-crafting generator? You can code or embed whatever tools you dream up.

43. It’s surprisingly fun.

There’s joy in creating just for the sake of it. Tinkering with layout, colors, and content can feel like digital gardening.

44. You’re contributing to a better web.

Every personal website weakens the monopoly of Big Tech. You’re helping build a diverse, vibrant, human-centered internet.

45. It’s nostalgic in the best way.

Remember the early internet when people made fansites and blogs and shared links just because? That energy is still alive on the small web.

46. You can go offline anytime.

Want a break? Just stop updating. No pressure. No guilt. The web will wait.

47. You’ll have a creative outlet.

Even if you don’t consider yourself an “artist,” a website gives you a space to express and explore yourself.

48. It’s easier than ever.

You don’t need to be a tech wizard. Tools like WordPress, mmm.page, Straw.page or Carrd make it super beginner-friendly.

49. You can inspire others.

Your little corner of the internet might be exactly what someone else needed to see. You never know who you’ll touch.

50. Because you deserve a space that’s 100% you.

No ads. No algorithms. No noise. Just a place where you get to be yourself, unapologetically and fully. The internet needs more of that—and more of you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So, Why Wait?

The internet doesn’t have to be a loud, crowded mall where everyone’s shouting for attention. It can be a quiet cabin in the woods, a secret garden, a tiny café glowing with string lights where you share your thoughts, dreams, art, and self with whoever wanders in.

Building your own personal website isn’t just about escaping the chaos of social media—it’s about coming home to a space that reflects you. Your humor, your quirks, your passions, your pace. It’s a chance to slow down and make something meaningful. Something that doesn’t ask you to perform, compete, or conform.

And here’s the beautiful part: you don’t need to be a tech wizard. You don’t need to have a niche or a “brand.” You just need to be curious, a little bit brave, and willing to make something for yourself. The rest? That comes with time—and it’s honestly kind of magical to watch it all unfold.

So go ahead. Plant your flag. Build your nest. Start small, dream big, and know that every pixel you place is a step toward reclaiming your presence online.

We’ll be here cheering you on, one cozy corner of the web at a time. 💻

When you're ready to get started, head over to the Resources page! There are tons of helpful links to help you start building your personal space on the web. ✨🌿 See you there!

aaaaaa I'm so excited for Los Brujos! I might not be Puerto Rican but it will give me an excuse to dust off my sadly languishing Spanish skills. On another note, did you redo your blog theme? It looks nice!

Oh I DID! lol i still want to edit things but I need to brush up on my html before doing that. Ive been on default theme for so long……

Also I’m glad you’re excited! I just finished adding dialogue to the newest ep!

Hello!

You do not accept orders, but you may make an exception. I don't know who to ask anymore. Everyone says that they are either unable to do it or not interested. You are the master of making clothes.

In this regard, I ask you to make hockey jerseys for Canada, USSR, USA, Ukraine, CSKA Moscow and Los Angeles Kings. The textures are very beautiful. You can choose your own mesh or if you can make a custom mesh for these hockey jerseys.

Here is a link to the theme and textures: http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,115706.0.html

I hate to be the next to say no, but I don't have the time nor mental bandwidth to take on requests.

I'll post publicly that maybe it'll spark someone's interest :)

Thank you, take care, neptun!

Hola necro! Quería preguntarte algo sobre las versiones light y dark. En mi foro la predeterminada es la dark, el problema es que quien usa la light, cuando cargan la página o entran en alguna parte, primero se les pone la dark y luego cambia a la light, es como si no cargase bien o tardase mucho. Les pasa a todos los del foro. Gracias!

¡Hola anon! Entiendo que estás usando la versión de cookies del dark/light. Un par de recomendaciones que pueden ayudar a que el JS cargue mejor:

-> Ponle la clase por defecto (aka, para la gente que no ha entrado nunca a tu foro) a tu <html> en overall_header. Ya sea light-mode o dark-mode. -> Pon el script directamente en el <head> (overall_header). Yo tengo todos los scripts de cookies siempre justo después de la variable de {RICH_SNIPPET_GOOGLE}, tal que así:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/js-cookie/3.0.0/js.cookie.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-cookie/1.4.1/jquery.cookie.min.js"></script> <script> if(Cookies.get('NOMBRE')) { $('html').removeClass('light-mode dark-mode').addClass( Cookies.get('NOMBRE') ); }; </script>

-> Ahora ya puedes instalar tu JS del botón en una hoja para todas las páginas:

$(function(){ $('#theme-toggler').click(function(){ if ($('html').hasClass( 'light-mode')){ $('html').removeClass('light-mode').addClass('dark-mode'); Cookies.set('NOMBRE', 'dark-mode'); }else { $('html').removeClass('dark-mode').addClass('light-mode'); Cookies.set('NOMBRE', 'light-mode'); } }); });

Es la mejor manera que he encontrado para esquivar ese momento de 'carga', porque te aseguras de que lo primero que carga es la clase del html. ¡Un saludo!

Jesus Christ Xenosaga Episode III Papercraft de Jesucristo – Xenosaga Episode III (PlayStation 2). Enlace Descarga: https://tiendajossorio.blogspot.com/2025/06/jesus-christ-xenosaga-episode-iii.html La saga Xenosaga siempre se ha distinguido por su audaz enfoque narrativo, mezclando ciencia ficción con religión, filosofía y preguntas existenciales. En su tercera entrega, Also Sprach Zarathustra ("Así habló Zaratustra"), estos temas alcanzan su punto más alto, y uno de los elementos más sorprendentes y simbólicos es la figura de Jesucristo, representado en el juego desde una perspectiva alegórica y profundamente espiritual. The Xenosaga trilogy is known for its bold narrative approach — blending science fiction, deep philosophy, and religious symbolism. In its final chapter, Also Sprach Zarathustra ("Thus Spoke Zarathustra"), these themes culminate in a complex, emotional, and thought-provoking finale. Among its most surprising and symbolic elements is the figure of Jesus Christ, presented not as a traditional character, but as a spiritual and philosophical cornerstone within the game’s mythos.

Distribution Strategy of Palm Angels

Palm Angels employs a selective distribution strategy, positioning itself between intensive and exclusive distribution. The brand is available through a curated network of high-end retailers and its own boutiques, ensuring a controlled brand image and customer experience. Palm Angels has opened standalone stores in key locations such as Los Angeles, Milan, and Miami, and has also launched pop-up stores in cities like Los Angeles to create buzz and exclusivity . Additionally, the brand collaborates with luxury e-commerce platforms like Farfetch, expanding its reach while maintaining a premium positioning.

The retail strategy focuses on creating immersive brand experiences. For instance, the Los Angeles boutique features a design that blends elements of an art gallery with the brand's signature aesthetic, while the Miami store draws inspiration from a swimming pool theme, highlighting the brand's connection to California's skate culture . These stores are strategically located in luxury shopping districts, aligning with Palm Angels' image as a luxury streetwear brand.

The retail strategy focuses on creating immersive brand experiences that resonate with its target demographic. For instance, the Los Angeles boutique features a design that blends elements of an art gallery with Palm Angels' distinct urban-luxury aesthetic. The Miami store, inspired by swimming pool motifs, speaks to the brand's deep connection to California’s skate culture and sunny, relaxed lifestyle. These themed retail environments are part of the brand’s strategy to use retail atmospherics to engage consumers emotionally and elevate the in-store experience.

Moreover, Palm Angels has established a strong omnichannel presence, combining physical retail with a robust e-commerce strategy. Products are sold via the brand's official website, which features seasonal collections, limited releases, and exclusive online collaborations. This approach ensures that consumers receive a consistent brand experience regardless of how or where they shop.

Strategically, Palm Angels leverages vertical integration by owning and operating some of its own retail spaces, which allows for greater control over pricing, merchandising, and customer service standards. At the same time, the use of luxury wholesale partners extends its global footprint while still preserving its premium positioning.

where i’m at (soft update):

i’ve been holding so many questions lately. about love, and what makes me worthy of it. about why it’s hard to let people in without feeling like i’ll disappear. i’ve been wondering why i protect myself from connection, and realizing that sometimes emotional unavailability isn’t coldness—it’s a form of care. it’s my body saying “not yet,” not “never.”

i’m learning that my softness is not a liability. that love should never cost me myself. i want to live like my survival is sacred. i want to build a version of care that doesn’t demand i shrink to be held. so i started building a digital space for that—this tumblr. a quiet, rainwater-lit corner of the internet where i can feel safe writing what’s real. i want it to look like the inside of my own mind: soft, warm, strange, unafraid.

i didn’t expect designing a theme to become part of the healing, but it did. this blog is my liminal cathedral, my cozy html room, my philosophical diary. it’s lo-fi, dreamy, rainy, unfinished—just like me. and now i know that building a life (or a blog) that holds you gently takes time. but i’m doing it. i’m here.

Diferentes modelos de paginação.

Bom, eu gosto de ficar mexendo nas paginações, criando efeitos, mudando, vendo o que é ou não possível para ser feito e etc. Vou postar alguns modelos para vocês, passando o código do css e do html, Pois bem, eu usei a paginação da Madlyluv.com como base, mas eu quero que me creditem pelas alterações feitas na mesma, ok?

Como utilizar:  Você vai abrir o arquivo do css de cada paginação. Vai copia-lo e colar antes da tag </style> do seu theme.

Depois voce vai usar a do html, colocando aonde você quer que ela fique. (sugiro que seja embaixo dos posts, pois fica muito mais facil para quem estiver lendo seu tumblr, não ter que voltar tudo para passar de página)

Para colocar depois dos posts, você vai dar ctrl+f no seu html, e procurar por:  {/block:posts} logo depois disso, virão algumas </div>. Você terá que colocar após a primeira div, e entre as outras que virão, bem assim:

{/block:posts}</div> CODIGO HTML DA PAGINAÇAO <outras divs, geralmente serão 3>

Modelo 1)

(normal)

(hover no 2)

Css   |   Html

_______________

Modelo 2)

(normal)

(hover no 2)

Css  |   Html

_______________

Modelo 3)

(normal)

(hover no 2)

Css  |   Html _______________

Modelo 4)

(normal) (hover no 2)

Css  |   Html _______________

Modelo 5)

(normal) (hover no 2)

Css  |   Html _______________

Por enquanto são apenas essas.

Alterações opcionais:

Para retirar o “Pagina 1 de … ” você vai ter que ir até o css da paginação (que colamos antes de ) e apagar a parte que vai de #paginacaoml-ht span.info { conteudo até }.

As cores foram utilizadas para orientação de quem for utilizar a paginação.

Alterando as cores:

Por base, as cores do background estão divididas em:

paginacaoml-ht a: #9F1513; paginacaoml-ht a:hover: #8ABFC4; paginacaoml-ht span.pagina_atual: #9F1513; paginacaoml-ht span.info: #8ABFC4;

Em todos os exemplos estão da mesma forma.

#8ABFC4 = azul #9F1513 = vermelho.

Façam bom proveito, e credite ao Having Themes.

Se gostou dê like. Se usar, nos credite. Não reblog esse tutorial.

Los trabajadores

“Saluez, riches heureux, / “Saluden, felices ricos,

Ces pauvres en haillons / Estos pobres vestidos con harapos

Saluez, ce sont eux, / Saluden, ellos son

Qui gagnent vos millions.”/ Los que ganan vuestros millones.”

Chanson des Penn Sardin de Douarnenez, 1905.

La riqueza de Europa y Estados Unidos se ha construido y se sigue construyendo sobre el trabajo de los trabajadores, en Europa y en el resto del mundo.

Para ganar la guerra entre 1914 y 1918, y luego para reconstruir, los gobiernos recurrieron a los trabajadores. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la potencia industrial estadounidense contribuyó a ganar la guerra contra los nazis: la fabricación de máquinas de guerra (tanques, aviones, barcos).

Los obreros han salvado al país en varias ocasiones cuando se ha apelado a su conciencia cívica: la Primera Guerra Mundial y la reconstrucción son ejemplos de esto.

Algunos de los ultrarricos colaboraron con los invasores, incluidos los nazis. Renault, por ejemplo. Otro ejemplo: en 1871, el gobierno burgués de Adolphe Tiers pidió a los prusianos que bombardearan París para deshacerse de los comuneros, que eran los únicos defensores de París cuando el gobierno había desertado a Versalles.

Le Cri du peuple – Jacques Tardi – Wikipedia: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Cri_du_peuple_(bande_dessin%C3%A9e)

Tenemos que dejar de insultarles llamándoles “desdentados” o “deplorables”. Puede que no hayan estudiado, pero la inmensa mayoría no ha traicionado a su país.

Cuando los obreros quisieron mejorar sus condiciones, tuvieron que luchar. Los más ricos no quisieron renunciar a parte de su fortuna y utilizaron la fuerza gracias a la policía y al ejército. No comparten sus asombrosos beneficios, fruto del trabajo de estos trabajadores. En los años 70, estos ricos llamaron por primera vez a inmigrantes que aceptaron las malas condiciones y se apropiaron del trabajo de los obreros locales. Fue entonces cuando nació el Front National en Francia. No tiene sentido atacar a los inmigrantes que están en la misma situación que esos trabajadores. Es mejor atacar a los que imponen las malas condiciones.

Después, las fábricas se trasladaron al extranjero, donde la mano de obra tenía que soportar condiciones tan precarias, y los trabajadores europeos y estadounidenses perdieron sus empleos.

Zonas como el norte y el centro de Francia (incluida la “diagonale du vide”) están completamente abandonadas desde que se fueron las fábricas: se desmantelaron los servicios públicos en aras de los beneficios de los más ricos. Utilizaron la desindustrialización de estas zonas para justificar el pago de menos impuestos

Estos trabajadores han perdido sus empleos.

Las fábricas se han deslocalizado a países donde la mano de obra se ve obligada a aceptar condiciones de trabajo y salarios precarios, mientras los propietarios de las fábricas y los accionistas se enriquecen descaradamente a costa de ellos. Son los trabajadores quienes producen la riqueza. Esta riqueza también es posible gracias a unas normas medioambientales que se consideran inaceptables en Europa y Estados Unidos, pero que se practican en estos países. Esto se hace destruyendo el medio ambiente, a pesar de que disponen de dinero y recursos suficientes para pagar correctamente a sus trabajadores, ofrecerles condiciones de trabajo decentes y respetar el medio ambiente. Todo lo que tienen que hacer es recortar los astronómicos márgenes de los propietarios y accionistas. Pero no lo hacen. Nunca tienen suficiente dinero.

Europa ha cometido el terrible error de abandonar tres de los cuatro pilares de la soberanía en el exterior: la prosperidad a China, la energía a Rusia y la seguridad a Estados Unidos (el cuarto pilar es la alimentación). Esto se hizo en beneficio de los más ricos.

Hay muchas personas en el mundo que trabajan pero no pueden permitirse una alimentación decente (permacultura orgánica), o que viven por debajo del umbral de la pobreza. Se les conoce como los “working poor”. La externalización del trabajo y el autoempleo están contribuyendo a estas malas condiciones.

Los organismos de la ONU trabajan para mejorar las condiciones de los trabajadores y el medio ambiente.

Etiquetas como las de comercio justo contribuyen a mejorar las condiciones de los trabajadores, mientras que las ecológicas ayudan a mejorar las condiciones medioambientales.

Hoy, las mayores acerías del mundo están en Corea del Sur. Los trabajadores ganan más que el salario medio francés. El trabajo está muy automatizado y requiere poca mano de obra. No hay trabajo para mucha gente.

En Japón, la organización de las fábricas se basa en la confianza en los obreros. Son ellos los que dicen lo que está bien y lo que está mal. Las relaciones entre las personas son más armoniosas. Los fabricantes japoneses son muy partidarios de la “construcción en isla”, en la que un obrero construye el producto de principio a fin. No hay alienación como en el taylorismo. El obrero sabe por qué hace las cosas y es responsable de la calidad del producto acabado.

China puede competir con Estados Unidos y Europa, pero no con Japón, porque la calidad del producto final es el resultado de confiar en el trabajador y valorarlo. Se escucha a los obreros y se les da libertad para sugerir mejoras.

Why Hondas Run Great – JIT Manufacturing, 5S Methodology and Kaizen – FortNine: https://youtu.be/0LfbsW-5tAk?si=KG7S6BpWOGj90vw-

El fundador de Honda no disponía de capital ni de préstamos bancarios. Por ello, sólo podía financiar su fábrica a través de las compras de los clientes. La calidad crea reputación y atrae clientes.

Épisode 1/4 : Au Moyen Âge, la naissance des métiers – France Culture: https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceculture/podcasts/lsd-la-serie-documentaire/au-moyen-age-la-naissance-des-metiers-5894659

Durante el periodo de confinamiento, la gente ya no podía comprar a China. Seguimos comprando petróleo a los rusos a pesar de la guerra en Ucrania, y estamos pagando a los ucranianos para que se defiendan. Tenemos que devolver la fabricación, la energía verde y la seguridad a los países occidentales en las condiciones adecuadas. La situación actual hace que los productos tengan que viajar demasiado lejos y hace que Occidente dependa de dictaduras.

En Francia, los obreros siguen representando un tercio de la población activa. Sus condiciones de trabajo han mejorado. Las condiciones de los trabajadores de los países en desarrollo siguen siendo malas. Con la introducción de las máquinas, se necesitan menos trabajadores. Hay que repartir el trabajo reduciendo el volumen de horas semanales.

Deberíamos introducir una renta básica universal para que los trabajadores no tengan que aceptar un trabajo indigno, y mostrar solidaridad con las regiones que ya no tienen industria. Si pusiéramos impuestos a los ricos, tendríamos los medios para hacerlo.
