Blog2025 ≫ I fixed the seemingly random spacing on here

It looked like some very odd spacing on this deliberately unstyled website. It was not completely unstyled, as there was an accessibility issue if you have a link that is too close to another link. Someone using a touchscreen device might struggle to click the link they mean. These pages did have a lot of links, as I tend to take keywrds, things I've talked about before like coding and the fact this is a static site, and turn them into links to search for more content. If two of those things were butted up together like say "html coding" then the two links would be next to each other, so that's why I put that little finger space between them. So it might have looked like this:

...together like say "html    coding" then the two links...

but now I've made a change so I make sure not to put two links next to each other, so there's no need to leave a space. When I'm adding a link, I preview the change, see if there would be two links too close to each other, and if so don't add the link and move on to the next one. It's fine. I think. See how that works out when this rebuilds. It means fewer links, but no-one clicks on the links anyway so it's fine.

Yep, deliberately unstyled.
