On a whim, I felt like adding additional texture to the left and right sides of the site where no main content is present. I originally was going to integrate something from <css-doodle/> but I could not figure out how to make the patterns I wanted statically, as I don’t want to require JavaScript to view the site as intended (I’m aware that on small screens, it is required to use the navbar. If you have suggestions for this, please let me know! Edit Aug 08 2024: I’ve done a hacky fix for this). So instead, I searched around and found this “Background Image Generator” and selected a pattern that I thought looked nice.

In order to ensure it meshes with the existing page, the new patterns have shadows around the edges. I also added a shadow around the navbar and footer to make them stand above the content. I’m quite happy with the results, and I hope you enjoy them as well!
