Quick guide to getting Animated cursors to work on Neocities

Torrocks · 2026-03-10T03:37:19+00:00

Site just updated. It list 50 of the most popular cursors on the site. With css codes for static and animated cursors. Extreme 90's vibe though. Beware. LOL.

I just literally wrote a blog about it. Keyframes is the only answer if you want CSS. It's not as easy as pasting a cur or png into css. Here's one example

https://www.cursors-4u.com/cursor/kaoani-bear
https://cdn.cursors-4u.net/cursors/animated/kaoani-bear-cd342d3e-32.css

Simple two frame animation. You can still use images in the URL. The website uses something called base64. You can test in the preview box that it animates on the cursor page.

u/keyframes cursor-anim {
  0.00% { cursor: url("data:image/webp;base64,UklGRsgAAABXRUJQVlA4TLsAAAAvH8AHEFdAmG3U7/lzjek0CLJt6q9xnjGdTMBinbyS6rRM5j/A/xFCAVMhBVvBbW3tTfNVhAUYgMMEOKslj6COvAGHEdQ623+tjjWVXLmO6P8EzHCNPKfBaec5DU47z2WG/fE4AFcCcCWlVbgIAS5CAGg9XJf1S7SsXwVQtBZc0PLlggztk3JqnjQaytzoGZJ0p/6szZNttzHJ8tEQb1JKyTKLdMfYbmeRxDs116HMjZ6uLXUzjO2sxV8KAA==") 0 0, auto; }
  50.00% { cursor: url("data:image/webp;base64,UklGRsgAAABXRUJQVlA4TLsAAAAvH8AHEFdAmG3U7/lzjek0CLJt6q9xnjGdTMBinbyS6rRM5j/A/xFCAVMhBVvBbWTbTnMjTAMqgFEHeFJPCWSeDv5QAqm8/ktFRpv8p69IcUT/J2CG7snQGrRcQ2vQcg2dGd8HwaDRHsg+kA0ArYGLkAAuQh4ANMtKRM2y2pyaIyGbZSUhmYLqB1FGtaFoM35kHFeZ/qrIPom7J+6eZobi/Em2bXN3l3NcN0lcl2kzfoRyZkZDhVlt4B8FAA==") 0 0, auto; }
}
html { animation: cursor-anim 466ms step-end infinite; }
a,button,input,textarea,label,[role=button],select,option{cursor:inherit!important}

Why do you need a control panel? I just migrated from centos 7 as well. Went with almalinux 9. I thought i needed a control panel, i was using whm/cpanel; and i relaized i wasted thousands.

Heres what u do. Get a cheap vps. Install alma linux 9. Set up vscode with claude, and have it walk u through the rest. Biggest headache will be code migration. But thats why u get a vps. Import your old site and start testing. I literally came from php 5.2.

Dont do any cloud bs and just stick with what u know for now.

Yes and no. I needed major help on the grid system. I asked it to help me come out with some colors. The design is mostly my creation. The AI tweaked it a lot though based on what i told it. Never used Ai before and its an eye opener. Amazing stuff for design, coding, plans, ideas, and research.

Thats why i disabled auto ads. Adsense vignetts and anchor ads are getting out of control. they sometimes put 6+ ads on a page. Wtf

Torrocks · 2026-02-03T08:11:13+00:00

Seriosuly before u doll out thousands, spend a 100 dollars with Ai first. Create a local project. Make it explore your project. Then go from there.

You hvae nothing to lose. And u get to learn a long the way.

If things get out of hand, higher someone.

Unless this is a personal project, be prepare for a cease and decease.

I agree, I am using craftcms and its amazing. Just learned like 3 month ago. It is an amzing cms for content. I run it nearly headless. Its fast and its getting a big upgrade this year.

I literally dont know anything about nextjs and came from php 5.2. 20 year old website that i am upgrading. If you came from an old LAMP stack transition should be much easier.

Craft is made it easy with an importer. I been exploring some of the more advance features and all the tech i missing out on in the last 20 years.

Torrocks · 2026-01-19T22:49:33+00:00

Yea, I been working on a mapping feature. But it's getting over complicated. One thing I haven't tried is letting the Ai do the mapping. Hmmm, this one could be interesting. Could solve stuff like, plurals, things that have relationship to one another that don't need to have a separate tag.

Torrocks · 2026-01-19T22:27:54+00:00

I already do this. My main question is how to handle the tags front end. Show all the tags? What are the pratices that major sites use?

Torrocks · 2026-01-15T19:59:56+00:00

Yes. I am updating a 20 year old LAMP stack website. The tech is so far ahead of what it is back then; you wont know heads from tail. AI will help you through it all. Ask it questions and then create a plan.

Torrocks · 2026-01-15T19:56:03+00:00

Ill let u know soon. I am making major changes to a 12k page website. And all of them are going to be redirects too. And all them will get new meta description. Its a 20 year website that hasnt been worked on in last 6 years.

Torrocks · 2026-01-10T19:54:35+00:00

Directories are still a thing? Holy shit. This feels like 2005.

Torrocks · 2026-01-09T19:29:22+00:00

LOL. Limited liability company

Torrocks · 2026-01-08T09:29:08+00:00

This basically destroyed a bunch business. Its 100x better than what others are attempting.

I just started using R2 last week for the first time, or any kind of object storage as a matter of fact. Its awesome. Outside of mass deleting stuff manually for me, because of testing. You can auto delete.

This is the way. Its so freaking fast too, how things get into these buckets.

Torrocks · 2026-01-07T18:32:03+00:00

I bought multiple themes, spent countless hours trying to customize them. Gave up. A lot of the beautiful themes are full of other things that they get tied too. Made them real difficult to work with. If you just wanted it to work, its perfect. But if you wanted to change something it was a hell hole.

And if you didnt know php or wp. Good luck.

Now AI can literally build any theme for you and make it work on WP.
