intro
welcome to swifty's hq!
deep in the heart of the internet hides a secret base filled with the whimsy of the late 2000s... inspired by a variety of pokemon fansites, this site's primary focus is being a playground: pure hobbyist fun with a variety of content. this site was started on february 22, 2022 and continues to thrive!
latest update: 02.17.25
i am back from vacation, which means lots of accessibility tweaks.
- changed heading formats, so there is only one h1 per page
- added semantic tags in many places, like article tags on each blog entry
- added clarifying labels (both verbose and aria-label types) to some elements
- added missing alt text, removed title text for art posts (you kind of just need the alt text...)
- added missing lang tag to majority of webpages - i had it on the splash page! i just forgot to put it on the rest. oops.
there are more tweaks to be done that are on my to-do list in the future. i also removed most of the style themes; i plan on making them more unified and clearer to readers. i might make a night and day mode of the summer theme. who knows.
