<h2 id="debate">Leaving blank spaces - <small>how ok is it ?</small></h2>
<p>Let's first take some examples:</p>
<div class="example">

<p>I think the answer to "How much 'blank' space should there be ?" is debatable. Generally speaking,
there seems to be a tendency for big company websites to use some rather simplistic designs,
prefering some big empty pages with few huge texts and plain backgrounds, but I don't know, there's something wrong and unfriendly to it.
- On the contrary, if your website is supposed to be an expression of yourself, you wouldn't want the place to be mostly empty.</p>
+ On the contrary, if your website is supposed to be an expression of yourself, you wouldn't want the place to be mostly empty.
+ Always keep in mind that this space is you, so the process of building it is complex and the result tells you and the others about yourself.
+ </p>
<h3>About background contents</h3>
+ <p>While it shouldn't represent the major part of what catches the eye, your background - be it colors, image(s), gif(s) - gives the general colorscheme of your page (mostly, but this is about styling),
+ and fills space in its own way. This way you can exploit your page's background to fill in space, but always keep in mind what you want that general description of you to feel.
+ </p>
<h3>About side blanks</h3>
+ <p>Side blanks are everywhere, like just look at a random page listed on neocities and there'll be side blanks :</p>
+ <div class="example">
+ <h3><a href="https://sadgrl.online">sadgrl.online</a></h3>
+ <img src="images/sadgrl.png">
+ <h3><a href="https://fauux.neocities.org">Wired sound for wired people</a></h3>
+ <img src="images/fauux.png">
+ <h3><a href="https://anlucas.neocities.org/">A.N Lucas</a></h3>
+ <img src="images/lucas.png">
+ </div>
+ <p>You get the point. While it kinda feels like unfilled space (obviously as long as you don't overdo it), using thse side blanks unpacks your page, and makes it more readable, while concentrating content on one part of it (easier on the eyes). Plus you can add some goofy gifs in this newly allocated space !
+ This brings us to the next point: It <u>is</u> ok to leave blank spaces.
+ </p>
<h2>Why it's okay to leave blank spaces - <small>and why it's supposed to take time</small></h2>
+ <p>As said above, leaving unfilled space is ok, if you chose a fitting background, you can leave empty space and free your page of
+ packed together content and unreadable sections. Example:
+ </p>
+ <div class="example">
+ <h3><a href="https://mrchad.neocities.org/">Ch4d's page</a></h3>
+ <img src="images/ch4d.png" alt="ch4d's site">
+ <p>So this one's insanely goofy but see how much empty space there is and how un-empty this feels ?</p>
+ <hr>
+ <h3><a href="https://castorisdead.xyz">Castor's page</a></h3>
+ <img src="images/castor.png" alt="castor's page">
+ <p>Again, but more serious this time, notice spaces left and how normal it feels.</p>
+ </div>
+ <p>With those examples, you see that 'real'/relevant content isn't that important if you can substitute with useful blanks.</p>
+ <p>In addition to all that, remember that Rome wasn't built in a day, and so won't your page. Remember that
+ this page is yours, this space is yours, this space is <big>YOU</big>, can you imagine if you had to build yourself first try ??
+ Can you imagine defining yourself and sticking and relating to that description of yourself forever ? I know I couldn't, and I'm glad there's room for improvement, modification, fine tuning, adjustments, completely starting over if want to !
+ And more than that, I know there's time.
+ </p>
+ <h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion - <small>was I good ?</small></h2>
