This Site is Being Re-Built in Public at: GingerKiwi.xyz
This site is being completely redeveloped in June 2024.
There is a known issue for users with "prefers light theme" where browsers change the h2-h6 level headings to pure black - without changing the background colour. The CSS is actually white headings on an almost black background.
