Get to know me

A fun quiz made by mouseling with 100 different questions designed to make yourself and others undertand what kind of webmaster you are and your relationship with coding

1. Please introduce yourself.

I'm SamueL William (better known as just Sam), a guy who wishes to be helpful and loves space, videogames, collections, creativity and maximilism and wants to share his love for those through coding

2. How long have you been making websites?

I started on August of 2024

3. And what got you into the hobby?

I made a spacehey profile in January of 2024 and I was so obsessed with the process of decorating it with things I love and finding cool graphics online that just one profile didn't feel like enough so after a few months I made a neocities site originally meant just for archiving web graphics but after realizing the freedom that I had it quickly evolved into something more

4. What kind of website are you most interested in?

I love it when websites have things that can help me with mine like code snippets and graphics but I would say my favorites are the ones that are full of varied content and I can spend a ton of time on them reading or playing games or anything like that

5. What's your workflow? Do you plan your websites out thoroughly or do you come up with the design as you go along?

I always plan before but always super vagely and 90% of the content is stuff that I come up with along the way

6. Please link to your biggest inspirations.

I gather inspiration from pretty much everywhere, my site is like a collage of other sites I love but the ones that have probably helped me shape this project the most are probably Shiny.EXE, Clownfred zone & Spark-web

7. What's your favourite part about making websites?

Having a place where all sorts of things I love are organized so that way I can access them at any time and share them with others and knowing that I was able to help or entertain other people, this is going to make me look really self-centered but nothing makes me happier than seeing a new comment in my guestbook talking about how they enjoy the contents of my site, I put a ton of effort in this so it's nice to know other people like it

8. And the thing you struggle with the most?

Writing, I'm terrible with words, anything involving javascript and finishing what I started, sometimes I have a cool idea for a page but I'm too lay to finish it

9. Do you keep the same layout on all of your pages? Or do you use different ones?

Same layout for all pages with only minor changes somethings like the background image or the font color, it makes navigation so much easier and making new layouts is exhausting

10. How confident are you with CSS?

42% I know what I'm doing but I still don't trust myself with it that much

11. Do you know how to correctly use <dl>?

I have no idea what that is

<img src=""> I love adding images to everything, it makes the content feel way more fun and dynamic

13. If you're making a new web page from scratch, what is the first thing you do?
