i just wanna say good luck with the moving /mode to neocities stuff, im happy to see neocities being used as an alternative 
im also trying to work on a neocities, its a personal one instead of a resource site, but its been fun trying to figure things out... i do wiki editing as a hobby, so the html side of things isnt too difficult to me (wikitext even uses some of the same stuff as html like the linebreak tag), but css just felt like I was flying a plane. the last few days i havent really been working on mine haha, just mostly small changes, but i dont mind as i know neocities is more of a never ending project you can just do a bit of work on From time to time. if im gonna be honest, i feel a lot more motivated to work on my neocities as theres no pressure to do it, rentry always felt like something i had to finish right then and there instead of coming back to it at A later time. i think its partly due to there being no claim system or any competition for urls, neocities is a lot more personal and there is no ego to be had with it, its something to do for yourself more than anything and to not care what others think about it or how many views youre getting
thats a long winded way to say i just enjoy the personal feeling of neocities, it often doesnt feel like you can tell if someone obviously made something on neocities, which i think shows how much you can do with it 
what happened with rentry really disappointed me, i didnt expect for this to be the outcome when i first found it and im just so disgusted as well by the behavior... i hope for more rentry alternatives to be made and used, a lot of people have just been very negative about the idea before and i never understood it unless the site was actually sketchy
this got a bit long #Sorry, i just thought to tell you my thoughts on it since as you saw i was pretty interested in rentry and you did end up following my blog for it, i still dont know what im doing with my blog now but i think ill just be posting general web resources and not use any rentry tags
HIII ELLIOT hi!! sorry for the days late response, not sure why email didn't notify me of this. i'm having fun too especially with more freedom on what you can do with webpages on neocities, albeit html css making my brain hurt and i spend a solid 10 mins trying to find out what about my code is not working LOL. wiki editing is cool, i've always wondered if anyone can edit wiki pages or someone has to be given permission by a mod or someone first 🤔❔
updating my neocities has been inconsistent and slow too. i heavily agree with the less pressure compared to rentry! a url being very public from the demand and the 3 months time limit that'll have it reclaimed if you don't fill it with genuine content immediately lowk kills creativity 😭 i felt like i entered heaven the day i first tried neocities... no caring about the url, just pure site making for the love of the game.
was also disappointed with what happened with rentry, but i'm glad that pushed me out of the rentry url decorating which started feeling like some chore i gotta keep up with and burned me out. same here i will still continue posting web graphics during my free time!! i'm really happy that pixels/borders/dividers/etc can still be used a lot on neocities/nekoweb, and even more there with less limitations.
i've also figured i don't have to make complicated ambitious website projects on neocities, and can format it like an average rentry pastebin style if i want to make simple short-term ones. good luck with your sites as well 
hi!! is it fine if i repost a few of ur borders on my own resource site im working on ? its fine if not!
also amazing borders super pretty !
Hi!!! Sorry this is a really dumb question, but. If i were to make a border using things from the ones you created but also using other borders and colors and stuff, can i say i "made" it as in put it in a made section and that's it? With credits to you & the others in alt text? Or should i put it in recolored?
