3lectr1c's Revision History (Archive - 2021)

Effectively every website change made by me since just days after work began. This is going to be a long read, you may want to get a cup of coffee before starting. Dates are formatted MM/DD/YYYY because I'm American. Sorry to the rest of the world!

Certain pages referenced on this page may not be available in the public copy, as they not yet be ready for release, or may no longer exist on the site at all.

Today's Changes

changed the title text on home to have the alpha build date - for backups - will be updated daily.

reformatted my revision history with titles being bold, sections for bug fixes, general changes, and more. helps make things more transparent.

The home page has been completely overhauled, again! Now uses main and aside properties in order to have a 2 column layout with the site info on the left, and the nav bar guide on the right. This renders the where to go page completely useless, so it has been removed. The heading text inside the boxes on the homepage is now gold as well. I think it looks nicer.
