first time using blogger

hello welcome to my "first" blog (migration from neocities?)

Haha I'm not actually looking to completely migrate from neocities yet. But blogger is kind of a breath of fresh air, the only problem I had with my own website was I was doing everything the old fashion way, creating a new HTML file everytime I wanted to create a new blog. And not to mention a lot of time the css would break on smaller screens. It really made me think "moving away my online consumption from core social media to my own personal site shouldnt be THIS hard, right?" and it really isn't! We aren't in 1990 anymore, so now I can cosplay being in 2005 instead. Blogger is actually really nice, especially since you can see the platform is being maintained cleanly (probably just bug fixes and not something annoying like "AI integration". 

It was a great feeling going down the preset themes section, and seeing that literally everything was immortalized in time. The first section "contempo" is clearly more recent, using more responsive and flat UI design, while scrolling just a bit suddenly brings you to 2010 where you get more "bouncy" skeuomorphism UI with more gradients, shine, and opacity. Maybe it's because I just finished a semester of a Web design class but i've been paying attention to this stuff more now. I've been playing around with the themes but i'm having so much fun. when i was first making a website my goal was trying to create a website that basically looks like the presets that blogger provides, LMAO. see below for what i'm talking about. 

Additionally, since I just pasted a photo in, i have to admit how good it feels to just be able to screenshot and ctrl+v a photo in, rather than... go to my screenshots folder, drag the screenshot into filegarden, copy the link, then type a img src= tag to get my photo in. Definitely a breath of fresh air! 

Anyways about the designs and stuff, i wonder what i should choose? its obviously also a plus that you can edit the CSS whenever you feel like it, (social medias NEED to bring this back).
