Why is no one decorating their magazines?

Moving to: m/AskMbin!@kbin.social – 70 points – Why is no one using CSS to make their magazine's visual appearances more unique? That was the main draw of old Reddit for me.
(I mean I am, but that is why I asked)

I am definitely stuck at #5
ChatGTP can be pretty useful for this.
It's very useful for this. I have a moderately good understanding of CSS styling after spending 2 weeks on a work side project using GPT 3.5 and 4.0. Had absolutely 0 prior coding experience.
Come on folks, where's that MySpace/Xanga/Geocities spirit‽ Maybe younger folks here weren't active online at that time. Sad we've lost that a bit online. Lots of people learned lots of stuff to make their pages look cool.
I absolutely LOVED GeoCities and totally miss that everyone-is-an-indie vibe.
Oh jeebus my first website online was Xanga, and I copied the shit out of code back then to bling it up
Haha, definitely! Had to have that autoplaying music when people came to your page!
Hell yeah! Custom everything and just blast your favorite music lol
Codecademy can be good if you are just starting out like the first time trying CSS. Probably would wanna do the lessons on html and then CSS but ya. I took already computer science course in school (only intro course yet bc is summer now) and there can teach more stuff, but before then i already did some lessons on codecademy and it helped to have context for the beginning parts of the class.
Yeah, that's gonna be difficult. Lol I want to do it, but it's a tall ask to work full-time, take care of my own personal stuff, hobbies, and then also learn basic HTML and CSS just do decorate a landing page for a forum.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to do it. It's just far down on the priority list and will probably be there for the foreseeable future. Would absolutely welcome anyone to help with it though! Currently best I can do is an icon lol
I know some CSS. But that just makes me think very hard whether I really want to know more CSS.
