Laird Lonergan (SillyLaird) — Personal Homepage

Visual polish pass across the homepage and startpage. Added a hero block with the Lain avatar, animated monospace tagline, and a more prominent "Where to start" card grid with emoji icons and neon accent hovers. Introduced subtle CSS-only background textures (scanlines in dark mode, paper grain in light mode), section accent underlines, timeline-style update panels, guestbook card containers, and unified badge hover styling for friends/country/tile grids. Protocol pills and theme toggle now have smoother transitions; the footer gained a "made with ♥ on the small web" line. The startpage footer also picked up a comfort-spacing toggle that widens line height on long card link lists (persisted in localStorage).

Footer and badge polish. Reworked the EFF "Free Speech Online" badge so it reads in both themes: dark mode now shows it on a black tile with red lettering and the blue ribbon kept, while light mode keeps the snow/ice white card with blue trim. Recoloured the ribbon image so its text shows on the dark background, dimmed the badge's red border at rest (brightening on hover), and removed the stray red glow that popped up underneath it on hover. On hover the light-mode badge now matches the other button tiles. Finally, lined the homepage footer up with the main content column so it starts and ends where the page content does instead of drifting left.
