What is mine, and what is not.

Writing

All text on this site was written by Wenyuan LYU for this project. The three field notes on the Field Notes page are original, and the arguments in them are my own.

Design and code

The layout, colour scheme and typography are my own work. The site is hand-written HTML and CSS with no framework, no content management system and no JavaScript. The logo mark, the pattern in the page background and the small interface details are drawn with CSS and inline SVG rather than sourced from elsewhere.

Images

There are no third-party images on this site. Every visual element is generated in the browser from CSS or SVG written for this project. This is a deliberate choice: it removes the licensing question entirely, and it removes the metadata risk of publishing someone else's photograph.

Fonts

The site uses the operating system's own interface and monospace fonts (Segoe UI or the system equivalent, and a system monospace stack). No font files are loaded from a third-party server, so no request is made to any external service when you read this page.

Referenced sources

The ideas referenced on the Resources page remain the work of their authors and are linked, not reproduced. The two principal sources that informed the thinking behind this site are:

• Helmond, A. (2010). Identity 2.0: Constructing identity with cultural software Paper presented at the Digital Methods Initiative mini-conference, University of Amsterdam. annehelmond.nl
• Carrigan, M. (2015, January 3). Social media and ambient intimacy Mark Carrigan's research blog. markcarrigan.net

Quotations from these sources, if any appear elsewhere on this site, are attributed in place. The full academic rationale for the choices made here is set out in the accompanying exegesis submitted to the unit.

A note on this project

This site was built specifically as a student project for NETS1001 Web Communications at Curtin University in Semester 2, 2026. It is not a commercial service and it gives no security advice warranted for any particular situation; it is a piece of coursework about how security decisions are explained.
