                                            In order to create a drop-down selection list in HTML, we must first understand why they are important.

                                            Drop-down lists can be used in lots of ways, from creating a way for people to chose from a strict set of options, to making an on-off switch(even though you should use buttons for that).

                                            The first step to making a mockup is to open the <abbr title="Developer Tools">[DevTools](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/)</abbr>. This can be done with the keyboard shortcuts `ctrl` + `shift` + `i` or `F12`.

                                            This DevTools menu allows you to do many cool things, such as create new elements, and modify existing ones. In all browsers(that I know of) you can use a little selector at the top-left of the DevTools panel to enable a mode that if you click on an area of the screen, it brings you to the element in question within the DevTools panel.

                                            A hash isn't able to be undone, meaning theoretically you should be able to *just* hash your password. This, while a fair assumption, has unfortunately been incorrect for quite some time. There are databases online that store every word in the english language(or just some words) in addition to common passwords and their hashes, and users will often use words for their passwords, even though it's insecure.

                                            Undertale is an amazing game. I really enjoyed my time playing it. I listen to the sound track a lot(I'm doing it as I write this). I even read a fan-made <abbr title="Alternate Universe">[AU](https://undertale-au.fandom.com/wiki/Category:AUs)</abbr> called [Inverted Fate](https://invertedfate.com/chapters). The only thing that I haven't done(and don't intend on doing) is a [Genocide Run](https://undertale.fandom.com/wiki/Genocide_Route). But, there's one thing that's kinda been bugging me since it first found out about it. It's the fact that their's a version of [Undertale(the song)](https://undertale.fandom.com/wiki/Undertale_(Soundtrack)) that wasn't added, and instead was replaced with the version we have now.

                                            First step is to create the themes you'll want on your site. You may just want a light and dark mode, however, you may also want other themes. As an example: a clown theme that makes the page absurdly colorful, like a GeoCities site in the early 2000s. For these themes, you can use CSS variables set on the `html` parent tag(all other elements are considered children of `html`). Variables can be set in CSS using double hyphens followed by a sequence of text that can use numbers(but not at the start), letters(capital or lowercase), underscores, and hyphens; these variables can then be accessed within your text using the `var()` function with the name of the variable(including the starting hyphens). You can change out the CSS variables using different selectors on the `html` tag within the CSS, for me: I'm using the `[data-theme]` attribute; however, you can use classes if you want. Here is the CSS I wrote:

                                            A switch is something that is basically just a nicer looking checkbox. Here, I'll be showing you how to make one.
                                        
                                        
                                            
                                            
                                            
                                            
                                        
                                    
                                
                                
                                
                            
                                
                                    
                                        
                                            6

                                            The first step is to create checkbox with any class; I'll be using `switch`, because it's a switch.

                                            A FizzBuzz Program is a program used in many job interviews to see if a programmer is good at problem solving. There are many ways to make one.

                                            First let me tell you why I write these programs. These programs, at least in my opinion, are good when you're learning a new programming language. It gives you a problem to solve, and all you need to do to solve it. Incase you're wondering, the problem is to make a program that counts from 1 to 100 and replaces all multiples of 3 with Fizz, all multiples of 5 with Buzz, and multiples of both with FizzBuzz. Generally in interviews, they also ask you to add on more multiples, such as multiples of 7 are replaced with Fuzz, and multiples of 11 are replaced with Bizz.

                                            Fortress Forever is finally playable fully on Linux using Proton-GE version 7-41, although there's a bug where if you change the settings then try to connect to a server: the game crashes. This issue, however, is very easily solved by rebooting the game.

                                            If you need a quick rundown on how to download and install Proton-GE, [I've made a video about that already](https://youtu.be/B2LZ8nYd3Bw). It is technically about a different game, but the problem is still similar enough to apply pretty much the same steps.

                                            I like HTML. I recently found a video of [Theo](t3.gg) ranking HTML tags with a tierlist, the video is available on YouTube([URL](https://youtu.be/EtYtYnhxeNc)), and the tierlist is on TierMaker([URL](https://tiermaker.com/create/html-elements-16095055)). Without further ado, here is how I ranked all\* HTML elements.

                                            Alright, I've now moved all my full blog posts over to this one website. There might be other I miss in other places, but I'll add them here soon. I will not be moving over my micro-blogs, however. Those are too small, and I'd rather keep those separated anyway.

                                        I'm not a fan of how I wrote before December of 2022, everything there is filled with spelling mistakes and grammar issues, I also think most of it was rude towards the reader, which is not a good impression.

                                        In our lifes on the internet, we see alot of characters that we don't normally see. Like @, #, &amp;, [], {}, \\, ;, and |.

                                            In JavaScript there are 3 different kinds of variables, global variables(using `var`), constants(`const`, and local variables`let`).
