Sorry about the delayed response! Thanks again for the layout edits; everything is looking so great as I said! Still such a joy :D

for the static post: Thank you for your questions! I took some time to look at different examples (part of the delay; I'm sorry!) so I have a better idea of what I was thinking about.
-I realized that we'd only need three "elements" but it would be great to have them go from three in a row landscape on desktop (if that fits?) to three in a column on mobile, and after looking at some dreamcodes pages it seems like flex does allow for that, so that would be really neat!
- For what we need to present, it would be a reshuffle and sign ups element (which I might toggle between just sign ups & reshuffle and sign ups, but that would be on me), a posting order element, and a rules" element. (I've linked to our relevant tag on the community.) The images I've used on the posts would maybe be too large, so if that's the case I would re-edit them to size/dimension once that's set.
- I like the collapsible element of your [50] Dropdown Navigation, and the way the click-elements on PEEPERS, a collapsing muse list code (via dreamcodes) are images. What I tentatively envisioned was an image for each of the three elements, with code styling in a manner that complements the dreamwidth community layout. When clicked, each element would expand to provide a small blurb and link. So, in the case of the rules, the amount of text (just to roughly determine what would look good) would be what the dreamwidth profile bio has + a little bit) and a link to the full rules page on neocities. For reshuffle and sign ups, a little blurb and links to both forms. For posting order, a little blurb and links to the team list and sonic list.
- It would be nice if the links in the exanded blurb could be styles so they're more "button-like" if that makes sense.
- for styling, the way there's a frame around the userpics on the dreamwidth layout, and the way iOS has cute blue buttons for log in and search in the dw site nav might be helpful starting design elements? but if you've thought of something else I'd be very glad to see that!
Bringing it all around, is that something that would be feasible for the static post?

back to neocities:
- dark mode: reds/purples sounds great!
- nav: I could duplicate the links at the top of the layout easily, yes. However, with it being so many links, we might want to stretch the navigation across the page more, like a bar or something. I'm good with whichever seems better!
- icons: the simple icons look great! for dreamwidth, depending on the colour-scheme I could do a transparent icon that we could just host, or I'm not sure if it's possible to copy the svg from carrd (https://shiritori.carrd.co/) Or a subsitution of course! (the abbot logo looks surprisingly like a d, or the swirl of the dreamstime is a bit reminiscent)
- content lengths: sounds good! a floating top of page would be really nice.

thank you again! (And please let me know if/when we exceed the initual quote, as I know this is a lot of work!)
