Frequently Asked Questions

Q: NOTHING WORKS!
A: Be sure to check that your code has no mistakes, that you didn't accidentally delete a line (sometimes reuploading the files and checking if anything is missing can help) I tested the code multiple times, but if despite everything something is off, please contact me. (check the about me page for my contact info)

Q: THE LIGHTBOX DOESN'T WORK!
Try refreshing, be sure the files are correctly uploaded (sometimes, when you drag and drop the folder, the files don't load correctly on your website) and check your links!

Q: I CHANGED THE CODES BUT THE IMAGES DON'T WORK...
A: Try refreshing the page, Neocities doesn't immediately load pages when you update them. If that doesn't work, check if there aren't any typos in your image link in the code.

Q: WHY NOT MAKE A RESPONSIVE WEBSITE/A MORE MOBILE FRIENDLY WEBSITE?
A: If you're looking to make a quick generic mobile-friendly gallery for free, you should post on instagram or tumblr instead. If you can/want to pay for it, try Squarespace (I never tried it)

Q: WHAT IS ROBOT.TXT?
This code will help you to stop A.Is scraping your website for content. If you don't want this, just delete it.

Q: I MADE YOUR CODE BETTER BTW YOU SUCK AT CODING!
A: That's great! I'm not a professional web designer, if you find a better way to do it than mine, please share! My goal here is to make web design accessible to everyone!

Q: CAN I TRANSLATE YOUR WEBSITE?
A: Of course! If you do, please send it to me, so I can put different language options here.

Q: CAN I USE ANOTHER HOST INSTEAD OF NEOCITIES?
A: Sure, even if I use neocities as an example, the code is the same and will work on any host.

Q: AM I ALLOWED TO UPLOAD *ANYTHING* I WANT ON MY WEBSITE?
A: You do you, just be sure to check that you're allowed to post what you're trying to post according to your country/state/province's laws. I'd just like to remind you that I created this little website to help ARTISTS to find a place to HOST THEIR DRAWINGS/ART. And specifically NSFW artists who don't know where to post their (problematic? queer? strange?) art. With that said, even though I can't stop anyone, I'd rather not have this code used for crypto/NFTs, AI generated art, real photos of CSEM, real photos of dead people, targeted harassment and anything involving making real people suffer on purpose.
