Alright, so you found yourself here, either because you’re avoiding actual work, or maybe you’re genuinely curious about how to use this beautifully crafted blog. Either way, you’re about to embark on a magical journey of pressing buttons and pretending to know what you’re doing.
This is a fake post, by the way. I mean, c’mon, do you really think I’d waste my time explaining something as ridiculous as “how to use a blog”? Here’s how to really use the features on this project site (aka, mess around until something happens):
Step 1: The Big-Ass Title
See that obnoxiously large title at the top? Yeah, that’s supposed to tell you what you’re looking at. You’re probably looking at something cool I built, or I’m ranting about why carbon fiber is secretly plotting the downfall of mankind (but more on that later). Anyway, that title up there? It’s for your eyes to glaze over. Don’t worry; we’ve all been there.
Step 2: The TL;DR (A True Masterpiece)
Step 3: These Buttons Will Blow Your Mind (Or at Least Be Kinda Useful)
See those cute little bubbles/buttons near the top? They do stuff. You’ve got YouTube, GitHub, and some other icons. Here’s a secret: they’re dynamic, which is a fancy way of saying they’ll show up if they have a purpose. Click on one and maybe, just maybe, you’ll find a video of me blowing something up. Or it’ll take you to my GitHub where you’ll witness me misusing code. You never know, it’s like a mystery box.
Step 4: The Glorious Post Content (You’re Here. I’m So Sorry.)
Now that you’ve somehow found yourself here, knee-deep in a blog post about using a blog, let’s talk about the main attraction: the post content. This is where all the magic happens—where I either tell you about a new project, complain about something in the tech world, or just throw a wall of text at you and call it content.
In each post, you’ll find an assortment of words strung together, occasionally broken up by images, code snippets, or embedded videos. It’s basically a choose-your-own-adventure situation. Skim if you want, or dive deep into my ramblings. Either way, you’re already here, so might as well make the best of it.
Also, just a tip: If you see a random block of text surrounded by weird symbols or code-looking stuff, don’t panic. That’s just me showing off my impeccable programming skills—or possibly breaking the site by accident. If it’s not your thing, scroll past. The goal here is for you to leave mildly entertained or at least less confused than when you started.
Step 5: The YouTube Embeds (Finally, Some Real Content)
At the bottom of every post, you’ll find the holy grail: an embedded YouTube video. This is where I stop pretending I’m a writer and just show you what’s up. Videos make everything look easier than they are. Be prepared for highly edited clips where I skip over the 12 failed attempts at making something work.
Step 6: Useless Links (They’re Not That Useless)
There’s a section on the side that says “Useless Links.” Ha. Ironic, right? Except they’re actually helpful, especially if you like things like more YouTube videos or weird GitHub projects. But I called them useless because no one clicks on sidebar links anymore. You’re too cool for that. Right? …Right?
Step 7: Why Are You Still Reading?
Let’s be honest here—this post is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine, but you’re still here. Which probably means either (a) you’re procrastinating, or (b) you genuinely want to know how this all works. Either way, I applaud your commitment to wasting time.
Code Highlight Test
#myelement{
color: #cc2222;
padding: 15px;
font-size: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
window.addEvent('domready', function(){
// display string on console
console.info('Hello Enlighter');
// show element
$('#myelement').show();
});
Anyways, here’s a video of drunk me trying to figure out what what UV is called.
