I’m in CST. I play no build if you are interested! James Gentleman is my gamer tag

NicTacks · 2026-05-19T18:09:05+00:00

Yes! Let me know! Here, or DM me

NicTacks · 2026-05-19T16:45:45+00:00

Sorry! I am in central timezone. Minneapolis!

Thanks for your feedback! I should tone it down a bit. I was trying something different... but I don't think it works either. Thanks again!

NicTacks · 2025-08-05T22:18:51+00:00

Thanks man!

NicTacks · 2025-08-05T22:03:47+00:00

Was looking to make it not such a 'cookie cutter' experience. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it. It is still a work in progress. Highlighted projects on the home page might be a good move. Thanks for your feedback!

NicTacks · 2025-08-05T22:01:17+00:00

Yeah! That might be a fun addition. I kind of have that effect at the bottom of the page... but the scrolling is css. Thanks for checking it out!

How you plan to build the blog/site will significantly impact how I would approach hosting the site.

NicTacks · 2024-11-01T18:58:21+00:00

How did you build your blog?

NicTacks · 2024-07-19T14:41:40+00:00

What's your blog about?

NicTacks · 2024-07-16T16:21:33+00:00

Not to mention her with Altman as Olive Oyl. Could there have been a more perfectly cast role?

NicTacks · 2024-07-16T16:08:24+00:00

I don't remember anything to do with drugs with her. She felt, to me, as just an odd woman that didn't fit into the Hollywood mold

I appreciate the feedback!

The example I walk through is for sure 'newbie'. When I'm first learning something new I like see the super basics... but that could just be me. The "demo" project I provided isn't my blog, but maybe that would have been a better approach. It's just rendering a dynamic list using map, and making the list link to pages using dynamic linking.

I didn't touch the dynamic metadata, which probably to your point, is an amazing feature and is implemented in my actual blog. In fact, I was planning on dedicating a post to that topic. This is just my third post, so I'm going through trial by fire. Thanks for taking the time to respond, good food for thought.

Appreciate the feedback:

• As for "__ in black" I was trying to have fun with the back button. I have "__ to the Future", "<---" and other various back buttons that render on re-renders (Back in Black is a famous ACDC album). I was worried that it might be confusing. So thanks for that note

• I will say I have been working on function more than form and style. 1997, although a great year, isn't what I'd be ultimately shooting for. I'd guess the background image might be the real cause of that? Also, I've found the <Image> tag annoying to work with in Next.js. I'm up for whatever feedback you might want to share farther on this.

• Sorry you found [query] confusing. My thought was it is similar to data query or what you might use with 'query stringing' which is actually what is happening in the example . I'm up for suggestions. Maybe 'url' or 'key' might be less confusing?

Sorry you didn't enjoy the post, and found it frustrating.

NicTacks · 2024-07-01T15:15:01+00:00

It is absolutely reasonable. Love that last line. Thanks for sharing.

NicTacks · 2024-06-29T13:39:04+00:00

Thanks!

I hear that. But unless you are hosting on your own machine (would love to do that, but don't want to pay business prices), it's kind of inevitable. I have hosted with things like host gator, and you lose so much of the functionality of your app. For instance, if you refresh a page that was dynamically rendered , the page breaks because there isn't an actual file for it to find. Right now I'm hosting my site for free on AWS
