# A Work in Progress

This website is (and probably always will be) a work in progress. I opened my neocities account years ago and uploaded some pages outlining a personal project I was working on at the time but it wasn't untill earliyer this year that I decided to create a personal site. I started out with a few pages written in html and some CSS I cobbled together but I quickly realized that managing even something simple like a navigation bar in html was [too tidious and error prone to contine](https://coborski.bearblog.dev/ok-so-on-a-slightly-more-technical-note/).

# Notes on Browser Compatability

I've always been a firefox devote but it seems its user share is declining. Unfortunatly, this means that many websites and webdevelopment tools are not properly tested in or compatable with firefox. Currently, the kudos buttons on this site and the bravenet embedded guestbook both fail in firefox.

I'm going to see what I can do about this. My goal is for this site to be 100% compatable with firefox based browsers. If you find anything that doesn't seem to be working, please post an [issue on github](https://github.com/cOborski/neocities/issues) or comment below.

<p>Since then I have swiched to the <a href="https://github.com/getnikola/nikola">Nikola</a> static site generator. I am still using the sites original CSS. I'v created a Nikloa theme that looks almost the same as the site did before I started using Nikola. Once I polish things up and do some testing I'd like to submit my theme to the <a href="https://github.com/getnikola/nikola-themes">Nikola Themes</a> repository.</p>
<p>In the mean time, please enjoy my work in progress!</p>
