Welcome to my Web Zone

Hi. I'm TalkyPup, and I make things and put them on the internet. Primarily, I'm a video editor that make reviews and video essays on YouTube. I also draw and stream from time to time, as well as creating the graphics for things like my show and this website. TalkyPup.com is sort of a personal portfolio of mine, acting as a hub to bring together most of the stuff I've made and done online. After using website builders like Webs and Weebly since at least 2009, I finally started coding this site myself in 2024. There's still some polish to be done, and a few bits are missing or unfinished, but I hope you enjoy the new and improved site.

Recent & Current Projects

Frequently* Asked Questions (*Not realLy)

"Where are you from?"

Victoria, Australia.

"How old are you"

I was born in 1994. I'm not putting my actual age on here because I'll forget to update it lol.

"What are your pronouns?"

He/she/they.

"How long have you been making videos?"

I created my YouTube channel in 2008, but my first scripted video was uploaded in October of 2010 when I was 15, though I've hardly been consistent since then.

"Why do you take so long to upload anything?/Why are you called Talky when you barely talk?/Why do pretend to be a dog on the internet?"

I have ADHD, autism, and debilitating mental health issues! Yipee!

"So what's next for this site?"

The blog needs an RSS feed
The blog needs posts.
I'd like to add a guestbook like other Neocities and Geocities sites have, so people can leave comments on the site itself instead of my Neocities profile.
I'd like to update the links page to include more links to stuff that's not my own.
There's a little bit of formatting work left to do to make some pages look nicer, be more consistent, or more mobile friendly.
I should probably add some accessability features, like a toggle to simplify the fonts and background, and adding alt text to more images (especially on the blog).
I'd like to expand the site soundtrack to more pages.

The iframe navbar changes sizes at slightly different browser widths on Firefox vs. Chromium. It's a minor issue, but could be worth looking into fixing.
The "What I've Been Listening To" YouTube embed sometimes says "Video unavailable" on Firefox when it doesn't on Chromium. You can click through to the video either way, but it would be nice to find a solution to this.
Of course, any other projects I work on will be added to the site too.

"Is there an archive of previous versions of this site?"

Wayback Machine

"What did you use to make this site?"

Coded with Phoenix Code (the successor to Brackets).
Some code lovingly borrowed and edited from websitetemplate.xyz, Travis Horn and W3Schools.
Cloudflare, because my domain registrar's default nameserver was borked.
EZGif for the site's button.
Zonelets for the blog.
And of course, Neocities.

"What other software do you use?"

Mozilla Firefox
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Premiere Pro
Affinity Designer
OBS Studio
Audacity

Liquid Embrace by Hanoded Fonts
Bit Cell by memesbruh03
