Alright, rolled out the masonry layout & CSS comic galleries to the art subsite. I'm still holding off on using it for the homepage for now, but this should keep things neater for the main pages. As a bonus, for comic shorts a lot of them got extra notes when I swapped them over to the CSS galleries

Additional testing: a CSS only gallery for comics. I think i'll stick to lightboxes for now for the main galleries (large volume of pics would make it clunky to navigate) but for comics that need more than the screen height to keep things read-able, using CSS tabs will let me add longer thoughts/extra stuff without making comic pages tiny (or risking covering things up)

Gallery testing. I noted in on the web to-dos page, But icymi i'm planning on switching it for ease-of-updating (aka not shuffling the whole layout to avoid large gaps). leaning towards the masonry layout for neatness, though I need to tweak some settings before rolling it out to other pages on the site

as a misc note, the ease-of-updating thing is because with more pics being posted, re-shuffling pics for neatness is getting more tedious. & With me planning on switching to a different lightbox that requires using 2 divs (one for images one for modals) If i keep the gallery format as is it'd be a nightmare to keep things in the right order. minimising the amount of shuffling will make things easier in the long run

I think i need a break before doing more site-wide tweaks. I can't pinpoint if it's tedium or repetition but updates like these really leave me fatigued at times π
also, if you're having issues a reminder to try refreshing the page!
