Original Inspiration

This section lists the inspirations that formed the origional template and are preserved here to maintain that credit. The following has been replicated from PhotoGabble.

Design inspiration for this website has come from many places. The current minimalist layout was initially using Tufte CSS and that design approach has remained.

A special thanks to:

• Andy Bell (@piccalilli_), for sparking my interest in 11ty and subsequently the reason for my getting back into content creation
• Matt Mullenweg (@photomatt), without whom this website would likely not exist
• Maggie Appleton (@mappletons), the very reason for PhotoGabble being a digital garden instead of only a Blog
• Luke Mitchell (@lkemitchll), inspiration behind content list designs and this Colophon
• Cassidy Williams (@cassidoo) and the Discord crew for daily inspiration

The following websites have provided design inspiration:

• fomo.email
• piggystack
• Gered’s Ramblings
• John Mathews Blog
• Evan Boehs: originally sparked the idea of turning PhotoGabble into a Digital Garden
• Benji: their tags page is the source of my alphabetising glossary terms

Carbon Conscious Web Practices

For every visit to this site, only 0.02g of CO2 is produced. I am unwavering in my commitment to decrease this value whenever possible, even if it means opting for a simpler design that may not suit everyone's taste. The goal is to provide valuable content while treading lightly on our planet.
