37
+
<dd>Trying to make my site look good</dd>
38
+
39
+
<dt>9. Do you keep the same layout on all of your pages? Or do you use different ones?</dt>
40
+
<dd>Mostly yes</dd>
41
+

<dt>19. What do you think of nostalgia-focused or "retro" websites?</dt>
70
+
<dd>
71
+
It depends on their content, if it lacks any sort of content and just has a bunch of 88x31 buttons on
72

the index page (kinda like how I did in my Neocities days) then it's just mediocre
73

<dt>28. This might not be relevant to you, but what's your opinion on the Neocities vs. Nekoweb debate?</dt>
