Wish upon a star...
So, you've stumbled your way onto my portfolio. That must mean you're looking for stuff about me. Like, what kind of neopian I am or what my latest coding projects are. Or maybe you don't care about any of that stuff and you just want to borrow a thing from me for an avatar. Either way, here you are & now I'm going to tell you about myself.
I was born on a frigid day, 8th of January 1991... wait, no. That's way too far. I'm Shaedi to most & Buddha617 to others. I like to code, a lot. It's kind of an obsession. I run two petpages on neo, a directory called Directly. & a premade layout site called indirect;. I'm in a wonderfully laid back guild called Eccentricity, where I'm on the council as the resident recruiter & coder. I can't acceot neofriend requests because I run Eccentricity's 1np auctions, which are NF only, fair warning.
I'm pretty friendly & down to earth. If you'd like to neomail me for a lend, to be listed on Directly., for help with an indirect; layout, just to chat or anything in between, you go right ahead. I'm usually on at least once a day, for several hours at a time. Seriously, drop me a line, I'm probably dying for a chat!

So i just had to share this here. Each time i want to use the gif image for the Icy Snowflake avatar neo presents me with, "this URL has profanity in it, sorry!" & each time i think, "but it's YOUR URL!". Anyway, I took the liberty of hosting the gif myself so you too can finally use the image! You're welcome (:

I've learned so much in the process of making this portfolio. I'll probably forget most of it, honestly. I should start keeping a journal. Oh right, this is a blog. ♥
Here's how to use the margin property in shorthand. Character saving, YES!
Margin: toppx rightpx bottompx leftpx;

Pretty sure I'm obsessed with the Small-Caps code...it's a problem, really. I've been using it in literally everything. The code is below. ♥
Using text-transform: small-caps will not work.

Coding Works
Here's all of my personal coding projects. These are pages I have coded for friends or have made for my own personal use. Please do not ask me to make you something, i don't take requests. You can find my premade work on indirect; Enjoy! ♥
Eccentricity Guild Webbie
This is the first webbie I've ever built. It was finished and published on Eccentricity around New Year 2017. My guild leader and I worked together on the design & i'm pretty ecstatic about the way it turned out. Big thanks to Bubbles for putting me on this project, i learned so much in the process!

Directly. Layout
This layout is a heavily edited version of a premade Beetle layout. I am a collabrator of Beetle layouts, meaning that Emma allows me to edit her coding & publish the finished product on my own layout site. You can find more of my beetle collabs here.

Directly. Original Dropdown Layout
Oh, this layout. This was my first ever attempt at making a complete layout from scratch. It was a beautiful monstrosity. This was long before i knew the things i know now. And those colors, phew! Glad that's over.

Personal Xmas Lookup
This layout is a heavily edited version of a premade Silent Serenity layout. I am a collabrator of their layouts, meaning that Simple & Fly allow me to edit their coding & publish the finished product on my own layout site. You can find more of my Silent Serenity collabs here.

Personal Portfolio
This is my first fully custom portfolio! I'm absolutely in love with it. This layout was made using a tutorial from Scarab, a beetle family site. Thank you Emma for indirectly teaching me tons about coding! Your tutorials rock & are very easy to follow. This Portfolio inspired me to make a matching layout for indirect;. The coding is a bit of a mess, but it works!
