hi everyone! I’m new to making websites (literally this is the first website I’ve ever attempted) so I’m just hoping to get a frame of reference here.

I’ve been working on a personal website and uploading things as I go for the past couple weeks. I recently added a guestbook and so far it’s just been my friends commenting, until this morning when I got this comment.

To clarify, yes I used a tutorial to create my homepage. I linked the tutorial, to cite my sources, and did customize it. I also clarified in my intro section that I’m brand new to coding and that I’m just learning for fun. The tutorial included adding something that pops up when people right click and said something like “please don’t copy my code, watch the tutorial I followed” (paraphrasing). Now, if thats bad form and not good for accessibility I’ve already deleted it, but I’m just wondering if something like that is a huge faux pas that would cause someone to leave a comment on my page. I know the comment isn’t super nasty, but it did feel mean spirited and is discouraging. And now I’m worried about what else I’m accidentally doing wrong lol

As for the AI art comment, I genuinely don’t know what they’re talking about. I have a whole page of art that I created myself (obviously without AI), and i have 2 images from Pinterest on my home page but I don’t see any evidence of AI on them and now that I’m self conscious I’m planning on switching everything to my own art. idk i don’t really want to link my page bc honestly I’m embarrassed about the whole thing and its a work in process

I’m just wondering if this is normal and if I should just get rid of the guestbook (since i clearly can’t handle the heat) or just delete that comment since I’ve addressed the main critique (the pop up).
