1. Please introduce yourself.
My Name is Celine or Kaja (sometimes Spelt Katja.)
2. How long have you been making websites?
Only for a Few Months.
3. And what got you into the hobby?
Well Actually I was into making Webpages anyways, I Made lots of Carrds and Rentries (I Still Do make Rentries!) But I Wanted to try my hand at Making an Actual Page from the ground up. I First dipped my Hands into CSS, Through Bearblog, on IPad. Probably the Biggest Mistake You could make lowkey since Apple does not let you Inspect Any elements.
4. What kind of website are you most interested in?
my Own. Serious Answer! I Love Colorful and Expressive Sites, I Also like Sites that are Easy On The Eyes.
5. What's your workflow? Do you plan your websites out thoroughly or do you come up with the design as you go along?
I Don't really Have a Workflow Sadly If I get an idea I Have to Code that Idea out before it goes Away. At Best I Will put down a Shell and even that will be Subject to change.
6. Please link to your biggest inspirations.
Sort of Scary but Before I Joined Neocities, I Had liked an Older Verison of the Nitro+Chiral Site & wanted to Make something similar. While Looking through Pinterest and Scrolling on Neocities "Special Sauce" Page, I Really Enjoyed FairyGore, Burgeritchi, Bachira, Doujincel, & Aborbs.
I Also Will say I Think it is Obvious I Took some inspiration from Swirl, and also I Get inspired by Just about Every Unique looking Site I See.
7. What's your favourite part about making websites?
I Enjoy searching for Resources, That is my favorite part. It's Weird I Know but I love looking for new patterns and pixels to decorate my pages with. I Have to keep it Fresh. I Also think making the Base Layout is fun along with Playing with Grids
8. And the thing you struggle with the most?
CSS GRIDS. & Sometimes Flex

Would you Believe me if I Said I'm not very Confident with it? I Go through Highs and Lows when it comes to my Coding Skills, But I Think at Best I'm rather mediocre at it. I'm Good Enough to get by.
